Raven7dp said:Funny you mention that movie. I worked as a camera assistant on that feature several years ago. It was awesome to learn that Drew Struzan was the person Thomas Jane's character was based. Cool thing about working on it was the fact that production had several giclees from his most notable works like Shawshank, The Green Mile and The Thing. I was able to walk away with an example from The Thing.

I haven?t painted in a while, or done an illustration in a long time, because I?ve been so sick of recent. The last year and a half have been very, very, very hard physically for me. So I haven?t done a whole lot of painting and drawing. But, I?ll get back to it. I got things on the table ready to go. I went to the doctor for the first time in my life, and they said everything?s absolutely fine. Except for the one thing, I have extremely high blood pressure. I?ll fade out, croak if I do anything strenuous. But they gave me a pill. And I?m on my third pill. And I feel better already. So I?ll be back to it. I just haven?t done anything recently.
Q: You posed as Indiana Jones for a lot of the artwork you created for the Indy films. Did you have to do anything special to get into the right mindset to pull off a realistic Harrison Ford pose?
A: I wouldn?t say that. We designed the concept for the poster. You work from photography from the making of the film. A lot of time the poses I came up with weren?t in the film. I needed to get a model to double as Harrison. The model that I could afford was me (laughing). I had the spirit of Indy because I was working on Indy. I would do a bunch of poses until I would get the right photograph that would work for the art. I talked to Harrison and once he said, ?Thanks for the body.? He realized it wasn?t him, but no one else ever did. Harrison is so delightful. A kind person.
