The Crow

by Matthew | Jan 18, 2025 | art, entertainment, illustration

A new sketch portrait of one of my favorite actors, Brandon Lee, is his most iconic role as Eric Draven, from the cult classic “The Crow“. Based off the graphic novel/comic book series by James O’Barr and brought to screen by director Alex Proyas.

The film gained infamy due to the accidental shooting and subsequent death of the Brandon during the final weeks of filming. However, it went on to become a cult favorite as well as one of my favorite films from my youth.

There is a companion alternative movie poster (AMP) to go along with this portrait of Brandon as Eric Draven or The Crow.
