šŸŽØšŸ”„ One of the most iconic pieces of '80s movie poster history is officially up for auction — the original key art painting for Big Trouble in Little China by the legendary Drew Struzan!⁠

⁠

This is THE artwork that graced the original VHS covers, one-sheet posters, and global promo materials for John Carpenter’s cult classic. If you grew up seeing this image in video stores or on your wall… this is the hand-painted origin.⁠

⁠

Struzan’s work defined a generation of film — from Star Wars to Back to the Future — and this piece captures everything that made '80s cinema unforgettable: bold colors, larger-than-life characters, and pure adventure.⁠

⁠

šŸ† Original painting

šŸ“ 30"x40", signed & dated

šŸ”« Used in final poster production

šŸ’„ Once-in-a-lifetime collector opportunity

⁠

Currently bidding at $47,500 via @heritageauctions — and climbing.⁠
