Did anyone here know that Drew Struzan drawing was inspired by this photo?

Struzan uses photoreference a lot and does it well. Always nice to see the pieces of the puzzle, so thanks for this!

the initial photography is yet in itself a miracle of perfect composition and lightning and number of objects and subtile difference of scales for them so the result is in a perfect unicity.

:clap:

Yesterday I showed the inner sleeve to my wife and we started to argue about who's who. Is there any detailed "star map" telling who all the actors are in the background?

We made a bet, she says it's Clark Gable between Alice and Neal. I think it's the bloke to the right of Groucho Marx. Maybe it's none of them :blush:

There is so much information on this site, if people look for it. The answer is at http://www.alicecooperpics.co.uk/Sickth ... s/a-gh.php along with some other interesting information.

>Thanks Andy,

No problem at all.

>I searched the forum but didn't find it there.

All the best information is usually elsewhere on the site.
