About the artist
Greg Hildebrandt has been illustrating professionally for more than 65 years. Along with his late twin brother Tim, he created works of art that have redefined popular culture. Greg and Tim Hildebrandt first garnered international fame with their best-selling calendars of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved classic "Lord of the Rings" published in 1976, 1977 and 1978 by Ballantine Books. However, their most well-known work of art, is the original poster for the first Star Wars film. That work alone has been reproduced on hundreds of thousands of products world-wide and remains in global circulation as a logo on Star Wars related merchandise. At 84 years old, Greg continues to work professionally and has no plans to stop anytime soon. He is currently in the concept design stages for the 2023 Trans-Siberian Orchestra winter Tour Concert Program. Along with his wife and business partner Jean Scrocco, Greg founded The Spiderwebart Gallery in 1995.

We have been lucky to call Greg and Jean our neighbors and friends at the lake, going back 33 years.
