The Legend of the Lone Ranger
1981
Drew did a lot of sketches as ideas for the film and this drawing
was
used as a one sheet in Europe. This black and white picture is
the
only reproduction I have.
This is so because the original drawing is in black and white.
You see, the drawings were ideas and compositions for review.
They
were never intended for use as printed pieces. It is amazing how
the powers that be decide they don't like the approach and tell Drew
thanks
but no thanks. Then years later he finds out that someone
somewhere
saw them, liked them and used them without his knowledge or appropriate
compensation. Stranger still that these same rejected pieces were
also appreciated, and appropriated by others who entered them in
competitions
where they received awards for their quality. So while we know
that
you can't please all the people all the time, we learn that neither is
the king's opinion always the consensus. What will be will be.
