The Sting II (B)
1982
This movie poster was the second commission Drew did for the same
film.
He always does numerous ideas and compositions, but rarely is asked to
do more than one finished painting. This one was commissioned
directly
from Universal Studios. It has a period flavor from the Art Deco
style to match the period setting of the film. The poster was
special
as it had a limited print run on actual metallic silver mylar. It
made for a real stunning and rare piece. The regular posters also
had extra special treatment in that they had an additional color of
metallic
silver ink. Drew also did another version of this design where he
painted it for horizontal applications.
