Blade Runner Medium: Acrylic paints and colored pencils on gessoed board Size: 30x40 inches Year 2003 I began working on this piece of art way back in 1982 when I was commissioned by the Studio to explore concepts for the poster. I did one color comprehensive originally and from that made a few alterations as requested by the Studio. In the end, they did not use my design so I never painted the finished illustration. In 2001, when Ridley Scott was thinking of releasing a new directors version of the film, I was asked if my original sketch from 82 could be used on the cover. It turned out that this was Ridleys favorite artwork for his film. I went through the usual artist angst, rather than use a comprehensive for the cover, better to use finished art and if Im going to paint the finish should it be the 20-year-old design or should it be updated. I decided on the latter. The DVD was produced at long last and this is now the cover (2007). Signed and dated bottom right corner drew 2003 SOLD © Copyright drew Struzan 2003
