All Night Long
1981
Some people may be under the impression that when an artist makes a
picture that it is "all" his. Rarely is that the case.
Especially
is that so in the "business" until the artist has a reputation and is
respected.
Artists need patrons of their work, most especially do patrons have
opinions
and ideas about the art when the art is created and commissioned for
commercial,
advertising reasons. While Drew has gained a great knowledge of
the
"business" of movie advertising over the years of his experience, often
it is not his creativity , knowledge and compositional skills that they
are after. Sometimes they come to him with a preconceived idea
and
only require his technical skill to draw what is desired. That is
the case with this piece. They had their idea and Drew designed
and
composed within their preconceived limitations to make a piece of art
that
Barbra Streisand really liked. No small accomplishment.
