Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, known as the Brothers Hildebrandt (born January 23, 1939), are American twin brothers who worked collaboratively as fantasy and science fiction artists for many years. They produced illustrations for comic books, movie posters, children's books, posters, novels, calendars, advertisements, and trading cards. The brothers are best known for their popular "The Lord of the Rings" calendar illustrations, the 1977' poster for the "Star Wars", illustrating comics for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, original oil paintings for a limited edition of Terry Brooks's "The Sword of Shannara, and their Magic: The Gathering" and Harry Potter illustrations for "Wizards of the Coast."
In 1981, the brothers began to pursue separate careers. Greg painted cover artwork for the magazines Omni and Heavy Metal, and illustrated a number of books including Mary Stewart's "Merlin Trilogy", "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", "Aladdin", "Robin Hood", "Dracula", and "The Phantom of the Opera". Individually, Greg is also known for his contributions to the art for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's albums and concert merchandise. He also provided the cover art for Black Sabbath's Mob Rules album. He started his American Beauties pinup art in 1999. In 2019, it was announced that Greg would provide cover art for a new series of Star Trek comics, Star Trek: Year Five, from IDW Publishing. This was the first time that Greg had worked on the Star Trek franchise.
In 2010, Greg Hildebrandt received the Chesley Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. Together, the brothers were awarded the Gold Medal by the Society of Illustrators.
