Marq Spusta is an American artist born in 1977 who grew up in rural Wisconsin and earned a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Wisconsin. Stout before settling in California. He is best known for wildly colorful, intricately detailed concert posters and fine-art screen-prints that merge visionary landscapes with whimsical characters reminiscent of Dr. Seuss and Jim Henson.

His early gig-poster work for bands such as Widespread Panic, Phish, Tom Petty and the Rolling Stones quickly made him a mainstay of the rock-poster community, while his sell-out solo shows at Spoke Art, Bottleneck Gallery, Gabba Gallery and Decadent Art Gallery have pushed his imagery into the contemporary art market. Working primarily in acrylic and ink, Spusta builds layers of translucent pigment and metallic overlays until trees shimmer and creatures appear to glow from within, a technique he honed during years of hand-pulled screen-printing.

Recent projects include a mini-documentary shot at Further Frames in Denver, limited resin sculptures and large canvas paintings exhibited in Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco. Whether designing a festival poster or a gallery painting, Spusta approaches each piece as a portal to an enchanted ecosystem, inviting viewers to step inside radiant forests where music, memory and imagination echo in every leaf.

Drew Struzan 'Original Star Wars Trilogy' Prints Release Details

Artist: Drew Struzan
Title: Original Star Wars Trilogy (Brush Stroke Edition)
Medium: Giclee Prints
Size: 24 x 36 Inches Each
Edition: 150 Sets
Price: $260/Set

*available at Noon EST on Wednesday October 8th, 2025

Drew Struzan (born March 18, 1947, Oregon City) is the quiet king of movie imagery: his brush gave faces to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, E.T., Harry Potter, Blade Runner, The Thing, Hook and more than 150 other campaigns, earning him the unofficial title of “the illustrator Spielberg always calls.” Raised in poverty, he sold sketches to eat, studied at Art Center College of Design, and began by airbrushing album sleeves Alice Cooper’s Welcome to My Nightmare among them before Charles White III handed him the Star Wars re-release assignment that ignited Hollywood’s love affair with his luminous, hyper-detailed style.

Working in acrylic and colored pencil on gessoed board, Struzan layers transparent glazes until heroes glow with an almost back-lit humanity; subtle expressions, swirling smoke, and impossible starfields are rendered with the patience of an Old Master yet read instantly from across a lobby. When studios pivoted to photo-based posters in the 1990s, his canvases became coveted relics, sought by directors like Zemeckis, del Toro and Lucas, who insisted on painted one-sheets even as digital art took over.

Retired officially in 2015 after The Force Awakens, he still paints personal pieces, signs prints at Comic-Cons, and collaborates with his wife Dylan on book projects such as A Bloody Business. His legacy is everywhere: the determined tilt of Marty McFly’s silhouette, the torch-lit silhouette of Indy, the wand-raised promise of Harry all distilled into single, hopeful images that taught generations how adventure should feel.

David Welker is a New York-based painter and illustrator celebrated for densely layered, narrative rich artwork that fuses Depression era surrealism, underground comix, surf culture and Ash-School realism into a single dreamlike vision. Born in Poughkeepsie in 1964, he studied at Syracuse University before building a gallery portfolio of large scale paintings, but his career pivoted decisively after catching Phish at Boston’s Paradise Club in 1989. A fan letter led to his 1993 oil-on-paper cover for the band’s album Rift, later voted one of the ten greatest album sleeves of all time by Relix
.
The collaboration opened the flood-gates to rock-poster commissions for Pearl Jam, The Black Keys, Primus, Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan. Welker’s silk-screened gig prints hand lettered, packed with coded symbolism and pulsing colour became instant sellouts, traded feverishly on collector forums and selling out in minutes through Brooklyn’s Bottleneck Gallery, his primary print outlet.
From 2015 he shifted focus back to galleries, staging the 70-piece retrospective Subconscious Narrative at Hoerle-Guggenheim, Chelsea, and selling out booths at Art Basel, Spoke Art and Hashimoto Contemporary’s Art on Paper fair. Recent canvases still feature the same intricate linework and urban fantasy scenarios, but scale has grown; cityscapes melt into biomorphic mountains while tiny figures negotiate labyrinths of memory, music and politics.
Whether rendering a 50 inch phantasmagoric mural or a palm sized concert handbill, Welker treats every surface as a stage for his ongoing visual opera one where graffiti lettering, Rococo clouds and comic grotesques harmonise to remind viewers that reality is just another narrative waiting to be redrawn.
