Unique artwork for the Polish release (in 1987) of David Cronenberg (opens in a new tab)‘s body horror (opens in a new tab) classic. The design is by an artist called Eugeniusz Skorwider. Here are some details about him (found on the website for University of the Arts Poznań and translated to English) (opens in a new tab).

Eugeniusz Skorwider was born in Żnin, Poland, in 1954, and lives and works in Poznań. He works in graphic design and satirical illustration, but above all in poster design. He studied at the Faculty of Painting, Graphic Arts and Sculpture of the State Higher School of Fine Arts (PWSSP) in Poznań from 1976 to 1981, graduating in 1981 from the poster studio of Professor Waldemar Świerzy. After graduating he began teaching at the same school, working as his former tutor’s assistant until 1997. He is now a full professor at the University of the Arts Poznań (UAP), the school’s present-day name, where he runs Poster Studio II.

A list of the other film posters he worked on is on Polish Poster.com (opens in a new tab). An interview with him (opens in a new tab) is on the website of the Poznań Oral History Archive (Poznańskie Archiwum Historii Mówionej) and you can use the YouTube auto-translate subtitles setting if you’re not a Polish speaker.
