Like movie posters?

Check out, Drew: The Man Behind the Poster.

Great documentary on the man who did Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, ET, Hell Boy and many other posters.

On a side note, I worked as a production artist for Tony Seiniger back in the day. That means I, and the rest of the staff, got to cram all that type on those nice paintings that the artists like Drew did. And get everyone's name the right size in relation to everyone else, and get them in the correct order. The artist, as noted in the film, was bound by the same restrictions for the images. Drew was a master who could comply with those restrictions and still turn out a work of art.

For you zombie fans, he came out of retirement to do The Walking Dead.
