Arnie Sawyer Studios, Inc. was founded in 1980
as a graphic design and illustration studio. Arnie
Sawyer came to New York City immediately after
graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design
in 1975. As an illustrator, Arnie's clients included:
The New York Times, NBC-TV, and numerous
monthly trade and consumer magazines.

The Friars Club of NY commissioned him to paint a
series of portraits of their most famous members, all
of which are prominently displayed in the clubhouse.

In a short time, Mr. Sawyer began designing posters for
Dan Talbot's New Yorker Films. As the eighties went on
and the independent film community grew, clients were
added: New Line Cinema, Island Pictures, Cinecom, Alive,
Avenue, Landmark, Samuel Goldwyn and Miramax Films.
Today our client list includes nearly all of the major
independents, as well as PBS Broadcasting, Good Machine,
Ed Pressman Films, Angelika Film Centers, Alliance Atlantis,
Miramax International and Dimension Films.
