| Who the Hell is Matt Busch?! Check out the brand new Official Website! Regarded as one of the top entertainment illustrators, critics have labeled Matt Busch's work as “astounding." Never one to sit still, Busch has made a career out of tapping into every expressive art imaginable, surprising even his die-hard fans where and what he'll be doing next. In the early 90's, Busch began his career in Hollywood, working in every aspect of the movie business, from concept design work on THE MATRIX, to storyboards for CON-AIR, to poster design for HOME ALONE 3. Simultaneously, he began illustrating books, magazines, posters, comics, trading cards and toys for notable pop culture properties, including LORD OF THE RINGS, INDIANA JONES, THE CROW, HEROES, G.I. JOE, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, The HULK, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, RESERVOIR DOGS, BRUCE LEE, WITCHBLADE, ROBOCOP, The MUMMY, STARGATE SG-1, and STAR TREK. How To Draw STAR WARS! Trailer... Add to My Profile | More Videos Mostly known for his work with the STAR WARS universe, Busch has written and illustrated dozens of STAR WARS books and magazines. He created the cover of TALES From The EMPIRE, which became a New York Times Bestseller. Busch has also been involved with creating artwork for advertising, marketing, and licensed products for all three STAR WARS prequels. Being that its the 30th Anniversary of the saga, this year has packed a punch for Busch- as he has already produced 7 different STAR WARS posters this year alone! Busch also provided nearly 400 drawings and paintings for the critically acclaimed YOU CAN DRAW STAR WARS book from DK Publishing. A sellout at every major show this year, Busch has also extended his own unique drawing and painting tutorials to video, with episodes at StarWars.com. Later, these episodes topped the charts on MySpace.com, with several videos going straight to Number One. Further, the first seven exciting (and hilarious) episodes have been collected on a limited edition DVD! A closet musician himself, Busch has worked with major musical artists like ALICE COOPER, BEASTIE BOYS, BECK, BLACK SABBATH, CINDERELLA, FOO FIGHTERS, GARBAGE, KID ROCK, L.L. COOL J, BILLY JOEL, MEGADETH, MOTLEY CRUE, TED NUGENT, OZZY OSBOURNE, POISON, and JESSICA SIMPSON. The first hardcover collection of his work, "FANTASTIC VISIONS: The Art of Matt Busch" was Published by Avatar Press, which included an Introduction by POISON's Rikki Rockett. Recently, SQP Publishing released a follow-up hardcover collection titled "PUCKER: The Seductive Art of Matt Busch" which featured an Introduction by SYSTEM OF A DOWN's John Dolmayan. This Spring, Hermes Press will publish the quintessential collection, titled "THE WORLDS OF MATT BUSCH." In 2006, Busch released his first independent movie, CONJURE, a film he wrote, directed, starred in, and even composed music for. Financing the entire movie himself, the unique film was met with critical acclaim and shattered records- becoming "The Highest PreSelling Movie of All Time" according to HorrorMovies.com. For over a decade, Busch has also found success as a writer, having written numerous books and magazine articles on art techniques. Busch has also written and illustrated creator-owned comic books, including ALIZARIN'S JOURNAL and DARIA JONTAK, and a highly regarded graphic novel, "CRISIS". One of Busch's biggest endeavors, a screenplay titled "THE TAURUS FACTOR" is currently in development with Producer Don Murphy (TRANSFORMERS, SHOOT 'EM UP). Busch now resides in a mutlitple-studio house set up in Macomb Township, Michigan, complete with an art studio, digital editing suite, recording studio, product warehouse, and even a mini movie theater. Here, Busch continues to work on many ‘Hollywood’ projects in his own playground. Currently on a promotional World Tour, Busch has been toting videographers to film his travel adventures for an upcoming DVD documentary called ILLUSTRATION NATION. Matt Busch Goes To LONDON! .. "The Rock Star of Illustration." -REAL DETROIT Weekly "Matt Busch, one of the best contemporary illustrators, could be won as leading artist." -ART SCENE INTERNATIONAL Magazine "Fans of science fiction, rock'n'roll and hot chicks don't agree on much except maybe that illustrator Matt Busch is the man. If you don't know his name, then you just haven't been paying attention." -HUSTLER Magazine "LOVE Busch. Few people say that. I do." -Gene Simmons, KISS Season 2 Trailer: How to Draw STAR WARS! ..

My Interests |
|
Hi. I'm Matt. Most folks know me as an artist who works in the entertainment industry. I'm also branching off into other cool artistic forms of expression, including writing and (gasp!) movie making! What does that mean? Basically, I'm interested in communicating killer stories and ideas visually. That may cover a lot of ground, but when you come to my little corner of the universe, I promise you'll be entertained. |

I'd like to meet:That girl who never went out with me in high school.So I can giggle and politely blow HER off this time around. A FEW WORDS FROM MATT ABOUT MYSPACE... Thanks so much for your comments and messages! I do read and try to respond to every single one, but if you don't hear from me right away, please don't take it personally! I've been busy with multiple endeavors, which leaves little time to play here. Also, My top friends... Maybe it's just me, but the idea of putting all my friends and family in order is... a little unsettling. I love you ALL in different ways that can't be given a chronological syntax. So I just grabbed some folks real quick. When I get around to it, I'll change the list up, but don't take that one too seriously, either. |
