Omar Rayyan has been illustrating various games, magazines, book covers, and children’s picture books for over three decades.

Omar’s artwork has garnered many awards including the Spectrum Fantastic Art Silver and Gold Awards, and the Chesley’s Lifetime Achievement Award. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the USA and in Europe, such as the Greisinger Museum in Switzerland, the Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators in New York City, and the Brandywine River Museum in PA.

Greg Hildebrandt
spiderwebart.com | @HildebrandtGreg
Artist: Twisted Maelstrom
In 1977, a young filmmaker by the name of George Lucas was in need of a striking movie poster to help sell his latest film. He had taken notice of the first two Lord of the Rings calendars. Through an ad agency, Lucas Film hired the Brothers Hildebrandt to create what has since become one of the most recognizable movie posters in cinematic history. The movie, of course, was Star Wars.
Greg and Tim Hildebrandt would continue a long and successful career garnering attention and awards both independently and as the Brothers Hildebrandt until Tim’s passing in 2006 from complications due to diabetes.
Now in his 80’s Greg continues to create and work every day, feverishly chasing his imagination and exploring the world of art around him. Greg continues his hyper-prolific churning of creativity and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. When asked if he will ever retire, he replies, “I can’t retire from being myself.”
