Cannonball Run II
March 1984
This is the release poster for the film and there is a somewhat
different
version for the video release. It's basically the same piece of
art
with a different Jackie Chan head and the addition of a monkey.
They
were not done by Drew. This is particularly odd because of the
story
behind this painting. The studio heads couldn't make up their
minds
as to who to include among the gallery of portraits at the bottom of
the
piece. Drew painted a number of variations and alternative
people's
portraits. He did them on separate pieces of paper, cut them out
and had them ready like bullets in his belt in case someone wanted a
quick
change. Some say they saw him pull them from his wallet when a
change
was asked for like a quick draw artist! Drew loves these
stories
that float around about him, they make him seem bigger than life and
untouchable.
