Podcast appearances and mentions of lin zy

When Matt Busch saw Star Wars at the age of 4, he decided then and there that he wanted to work alongside George Lucas. Through the years, he followed his idles, worked on his skill level and immersed himself in all things Star Wars related. After going to college for illustration, he traveled to Hollywood and started storyboarding motion picture scenes for movies like The Matrix, Indiana Jones, Lord of The Rings and eventually, becoming an official Star Wars artist... Matt Busch has become an internationally know Star Wars Artist who is still blown away that fans get tattoos of his work on their bodies. Matt talks about his biggest mistakes..."When I first saw the script for The Matrix, I was so disappointed..." And Matt gets excited to share the footage of his first feature film, Aladdin 3477: a science fiction thriller that takes place 1500 years in the future. It's a cross between The 5th Element, Valerian and Star Wars. And we get an insiders perspective from the creator. This is a fascinating trip into a young man's passion for what he does and the raw talent you can see within his work (we suggest you watch the video version on YouTube and Rumble). If you are a Star Wars fan, you are gonna LOVE this episode. And yes, he has worked directly with George Lucas. "He seems to like my work." Watch on YouTube to see Matt's extraordinary body of Star Wars work: https://youtu.be/v3Jtv5l00zo About Matt Busch: 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 and became obsessed with creating his own Star Wars pop-up books and self-published comic books. After earning an associate degree from Macomb Community College, he moved to Pasadena, California, where he attended the Los Angeles Art Academy, and received a bachelor's degree from the Art Center College of Design. Since 1994, Matt Busch has provided art for official Star Wars books, posters, magazines, and other products. Early in his career, Busch started illustrating products for the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game and the cover for Star Wars: Tales from the Empire, which became a New York Times Best Seller. One of his more recent projects was illustrating the Style D One Sheet movie poster for Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Busch is perhaps best known for his outspoken antics in the You Can Draw Star Wars video series, which is based on the book of the same name, which he also illustrated. The video series was first released online and later released on DVD. Following that, the videos found even more success when they were released on MySpace.com, and shot straight to number one on their charts. Volume Two of the same tutorial series was also released on DVD. In 2008, Hasbro released a droid action figure named MB-RA-7, which was named after Matt Busch. 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. In October 2009, he created and released Zombie Wars Episode I: The Zombie Menace, Zombie Wars Episode II: Attack of the Undead, Zombie Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Zombies, Zombie Wars Episode IV: A New Epidemic, Zombie Wars Episode V: The Living Dead Strike Back, and Zombie Wars Episode VI: Return from the Grave. A couple of months later, Kohl's department stores re-released an exclusive Boba Fett T-shirt featuring Busch's art. Matt has illustrated CD covers and posters for rock bands, films and storyboarded some of your most iconic movies in the industry. Busch married his wife Lin Zy (née Selestow), a puppet designer, on September 18, 2011, in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. They reside in a multiple-studio house in Macomb Township, Michigan with their dog Roxie.

Matt Busch and Lin Zy have both been chosen to be official Star Wars Celebration Art Show Artists! While it's always fun talking with another married couple, it's especially exciting to talk to them both about their SWCO Art Show pieces, both of which spoke to Richard and Sarah in different ways. Lin Zy has a beautiful Japanese-inspired Ahsoka piece.    Matt Busch did a celebration of collectibles that looks like he went into Richard's bedroom as a kid growing up, and put it all on a massive painting. Sarah and Richard delve into the music of Star Wars Rebels where we will look and listen to cues from Legacy of Mandalore and Secret Cargo. This leads to some pretty heavy debate over tragic vs. heroic, Sabine's connection to the Force, and much more.
