Artist Profile

Craig Drake

Limited Edition Movie Posters & Art Prints

Craig Drake stands as one of the most sought-after contemporary poster artists in the alternative movie poster scene, with his work prominently featured at Hero Complex Gallery alongside other premier screen print and giclee collections. Based in the United States, Drake has built a reputation creating officially licensed and commissioned artwork spanning film, television, and entertainment properties, establishing himself as a go-to artist for collectors seeking high-quality interpretations of beloved franchises.

Drake's artistic approach combines bold graphic design sensibilities with intricate illustrative details, evident in works like his "O-Ren" Star Wars poster released through Mondo and his "Lost In Translation" film tribute. His portfolio demonstrates remarkable versatility, from horror classics like his "Elvira Red Variant" poster to television properties including "Stranger Things" commissions. Beyond movie posters, Drake has expanded into gaming illustration with projects like "Boon" game key art and even Magic The Gathering card artwork, showcasing his adaptability across different entertainment mediums.

Collectors prize Craig Drake prints for their limited availability and consistent quality, with edition sizes typically ranging from 125 to 225 pieces. His "O-Ren" Mondo release sold out quickly in its edition of 125, while works like "Paradise One Square" were limited to 225 numbered prints. The "Elvira Red Variant" at just 185 copies demonstrates the scarcity that drives collector demand. Drake's combination of pop culture appeal, technical craftsmanship, and restricted print runs makes his work highly coveted in the alternative poster market.
