Eric Tan unveils Raiders artwork

As noticed by /Film, artist Eric Tan has crafted an exciting poster for Raiders of the Lost Ark, inspired by a retro propaganda style. For $150, one may own this beautiful piece of artwork, presented by Indiana Jones Shop as part of a new series of limited edition fine art lithographs by Acme Archives. “My idea here was to create something that looked as if it came out when the movie took place, circa 1936,” elaborates Tan. “I was heavily influenced by Mexican film posters from the 30’s & 40’s. They had that western/dramatic/action feel nailed down.”
