The Black Bird
1975
Drew remembers this poster as being one of the first ones he ever
did
for the movies and the first that was printed. The painting is
supposed
to be Rockwellian in it's conception. Like Rockwell, Drew also uses his
friends as models. Even early on Drew would use the most
available
models to get the job done. In this case he himself was the model
for the running figure of George Segal, his son was the model for the
little
person and his wife was the model for the girl. His old employer
was the figure for the Hawaiians and an artist friend modeled for the
scuba
diver. The dog is a tribute to Norman Rockwell, a lift from one
of
Rockwell's paintings.
