An Exhibit of the Art and Artistry of Hollywood's Illustrators and Matte Artists

A film and other types of visual entertainment usually start with an idea, which is then rendered into words, which then needs to be turned into images, so it can be communicated to a group of people, who will then realize those concepts in some way so they can be recorded onto media, and shared with the world.

The members of Local 790 are the artists whose skill and imagination help create some of the most stunning images, thrilling action, incredible characters, intricate props, otherworldly vistas, and dynamic sequences that grace the visual media that we enjoy. Their work spans the entire visual entertainment spectrum from film and television through to video and computer games. It can be seen as special features on DVDs, in print as posters, in books, and as content on websites.

The Illustrators & Matte Artists thank Denvention 3 for this opportunity to share our members' art with your membership. We would also like to congratulate Rick Sternbach, for being chosen as Denvention 3's Artist Guest of Honor. As a member of Local 790 for 30 years, Rick exemplifies the gift and skill that upholds the highest standards for creating great art.
