I’ve been very slow to comment here on Drew Struzan, who died October 13th at the age of 78. I heard the news within hours of his passing, and it broke my heart.
Rather than write another simple blog post, I opted to film a little video on my iphone a few weeks ago. But with work at school and other commitments, I didn’t get around to editing it until tonight. I rambled on quite a bit, and had to trim out some parts where my emotions got the better of me.
My deepest sympathies go out to Dylan, Christian, and the rest of Drew’s family, not to mention the legions of friends and fans he had around the world.
To know Drew and Dylan these past few years has been a true honor and privilege, and I’ll forever cherish our time together. Drew had been struggling with health issues for years, and it was with extraordinary courage that his family went public about it last March.
In this video, I also belatedly mention the passing of artist David Edward Byrd, who I’d known since 2007, and considered one of my dearest friends. God, I miss him, and I still can’t quite accept that this world no longer has him in it.
One glaring omission from my video tribute was mention of Italian illustrator Renato Casaro, the poster artist behind such films as Conan the Barbarian and The NeverEnding Story, as well as countless Spaghetti westerns. Casaro died on September 30, following a nearly 70 year career.
Yes, you're right, and we remember the titans on Drew Struzan David, and I'm pleased to give the sympathy flowers for funeral in USA to all of them, and thank you for the amazing information that you have provided above.
I loved reading this piece! It’s fascinating how artists like Drew Struzan, David Byrd, and Renato Casaro each brought such emotion and storytelling to movie posters—every brushstroke feels alive. It reminds me that creativity isn’t limited to design or art; it flows into every field where ideas meet expression. Even when I’m struggling through my Android assignment help, I realize how important visual imagination and problem-solving are—whether you’re coding an app interface or painting a cinematic moment. The parallels between these artists’ work and digital creation are inspiring because both aim to connect with people on a deeper level. This blog beautifully captures the essence of how art shapes our collective memory, making us remember not just the movie itself…
