Early life

Busch was born in Lebanon, Pennsylvania on September 22, 1972, to Frederick and Peggy Busch. He grew up in the northern suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, embracing many arts, from drawing his own comic books, playing several music instruments, and creating short films with his parents' VHS camcorder. Busch has claimed his early years playing in a rock band inspired his unique grassroots marketing as a visual artist when starting his career. [5] In 1993, he won an award from the Library of Congress for his copyright achievements. [6]

After getting an associate degree from Macomb Community College, he moved to Pasadena, California, where he attended the Los Angeles Art Academy, and studied illustration, film, and entertainment design at the Art Center College of Design. Before getting his Bachelor Degree at Art Center, Busch was classmates with other notable alumni such as Justin Bua, Chris Do, and LeUyen Pham, and studied notable Artist Burne Hogarth. [4]

Busch began working in Hollywood illustrating concept art and storyboards for films like Con Air and The Matrix. [7] After living in Los Angeles for nearly a decade, Busch eventually returned to the Northern Detroit area in the early 2000s where he set up his company, Kaleidoscope Koi Entertainment, LLC, and continues to work on Hollywood projects, via new technology. [8]

He found more notoriety in the areas of licensing and publishing, becoming well-known in many different circles of pop culture and fandom as an entertainment illustrator. Busch was often referred to in news articles as the rock star of illustration, [9] and mostly known for his Star Wars work, where he provided numerous covers, posters, and other illustrative material for the franchise. [10]

Over the years, Busch has produced art for companies such as Columbia Tristar Pictures, DC / Vertigo, Disney, DK Publishing, Ford Motor Company, Fox Television, Hard Rock Cafe, Inc., Hasbro, Hundai, K-Swiss Shoes, Larry Flynt Publications, Lucasfilm, Ltd., Marvel, Mazda, Netflix, Nissan, Paramount Pictures, Scholastic, Sony Music Entertainment, Team Disney, Topps, Touchstone Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Viacom, Wizards of the Coast, and more. [11]

Later in his career, Busch dove into the world of independent filmmaking, eventually writing and directing the Aladdin 3477 trilogy of movies. He has taught media arts college courses at a number of higher education schools. [12]

Since 1994, Matt Busch has provided art for official Star Wars books, posters, magazines, and other products. George Lucas himself has purchased nearly 400 of Busch's drawings and paintings for his own collection, many of which are on display at Lucasfilm's headquarters and Skywalker Ranch. [10]

Early in his career, Busch started illustrating books and playing cards for the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game . He was the first to illustrate what an R7 series Astromech Droid looks like, which has since become a popular series of action figures from Hasbro. [13]

In 1997, Busch illustrated the cover of Star Wars: Tales from the Empire from Bantam Dell, which became a New York Times Best Seller. [14] He also began writing and illustrating monthly articles for both the Star Wars Insider and Star Wars Kids magazines. [15]

In 2006, Busch was hired by Lucasfilm to illustrated the well-known Style D One Sheet movie poster for Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith , which was designed to be a bookend piece top the original Star Wars "circus poster" illustrated by Drew Struzan and Charles White III. That same year, Busch was the 2nd artist to be inducted as an Honorary Member of the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers. [16]

In 2007, the You Can Draw Star Wars book from DK Publishing was released, to which Busch produced over 300 illustrations for. The book went on to become a New York Times Bestseller. Busch is perhaps best known for his outspoken antics in the You Can Draw Star Wars video series, which is based on the book. [17] The video series was first released on StarWars.com and later released on DVD. [18] Following that, the videos found even more success when they were released on MySpace.com, and shot straight to number one on their charts before being released on YouTube. [19] Volumes Two and Three of the same tutorial series were also released on DVD in subsequent years. [20]

In 2008, Hasbro released a droid action figure named MB-RA-7, which was named after Matt Busch, based on articles he had written for Star Wars Kids magazines. [21] [22] Also that year, Busch became the first Honorary Member of the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers to become an official member with his own TK Stormtrooper armor. [23] [24] His TK number, 3477, is leet for "Matt" written sideways, and later became the year his Aladdin 3477 film trilogy would take place. [7]

In 2009, Lucasfilm solicited Busch to re-illustrate the existing 6 Star Wars film movie posters with a zombie twist, in an effort to help promote the first Star Wars horror novel. He titled the parody series Zombie Wars, and he created Episode I: The Zombie Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Undead, Episode III: Revenge of the Zombies, Episode IV: A New Epidemic, Episode V: The Living Dead Strike Back, and Episode VI: Return from the Grave. [25] The series did so well, Busch continued 'zombifying' classic movie posters in a series titled Hollywood is Dead, eventually collecting hundreds of the parody zombie posters into a coffee table art book. The initial Zombie Wars series later became licensed by Fright Rags as popular T shirts. [26]

[31]

In 2024, to celebrate 30 years of illustrating official Star Wars art, Busch exhibited 101 drawings and paintings in the Sparkasse Pyramide Gallery in Heilbronn, Germany. That same year, Busch released a new series of tutorial videos on Youtube titled Illustrating Star Wars. [32]
