Drew Struzan's Blade Runner was released in 2019 by Bottleneck Gallery as a fifteen colour artist signed hand-numbered (#49/1003) screenprint. Considered some of his best artwork Struzan explains the commission "I began working on this piece of art way back in 1982 when the Studio commissioned me to explore concepts for the poster. I did one colour comprehensive originally and from that made a few alterations as requested by the Studio. In the end, they did not use my design so I never painted the finished illustration. In 2001, when Ridley Scott was thinking of releasing a new director's version of the film, I was asked if my original sketch from '82 could be used on the cover. It turned out that this was Ridley's favourite artwork for his film. I went through the usual artist angst, rather than use a comprehensive for the cover, better to use finished art and if I'm going to paint the finish should it be the 20-year-old design or should it be updated. I decided on the latter".
