I had a blast coming up with an illustration to celebrate the first Indiana Jones film. Capturing Indy and Sallah peering into the Well of Souls seemed the perfect symbolic moment of discovery, curiosity, and adventuring into the unknown---everything the Indiana Jones films represent to me. I wanted my poster to integrate the title and credit block organically into the illustration, and thought it would be fun to add some easter eggs in the hieroglyphs on the tomb wall.
Thanks to Tom at @dropmagofficial for inviting me on DROPCAST to chat about my illustration work and our mutual passion for movie posters! I really enjoyed myself. Watch or listen to the full interview on YouTube.

The Poster Posse is pleased to share our latest passion project… “See me, hear me…” For this project we were asked to create a playlist and an album cover to accompany it. View all the artwork and listen to our playlists here.
For my contribution, I created a primarily instrumental spacey themed mix of some of my favorite tracks with a cosmic feel.
So grab your space suit and float away for a while...
