Drew Struzan homage


I just found these in a pile of old work I recently dug up. Here are a couple of studies I did of Bram's Drac back in college days.  Obviously hugely inspired by Poster Artist Drew Struzan, and of course nowhere near the level of brilliance of Struzan. He was a huge reason why I chose to become an artist.

I have discovered a new app for the Nintendo DS called "Colors!" and yes the title of the app actually has an exclamation mark in it..... Indeed! Hah-haa. It's good practice.
