P E R S P E C T I V E | J U LY / AU G U S T 2 0 1 7 49 For the fourth consecutive year, PERSPECTIVE visits the work of its Illustrators who have contributed their drawings to hundreds of imaginative fi lms and television projects, including Independence Day: Resurgence, The Revenant, Jurassic World, Wonder Woman, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, The Emoji Movie, Conan, Westworld, The Shawshank Redemption, Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out and The Avengers: United They Stand. These same storytellers, however, hold comic book art close to their hearts, and the following pages are examples of the work they produce for that form. The influence of comic books on film (and vice versa) has been well documented, and it is to be expected that talented artists would switch back-and-forth, working in both media. Narrative entertainment, set in immersive and sometimes fantastic worlds, poses similar challenges no matter the platform. The ways in which characters live in synergy with words on a page (a film script or a sheet of newsprint) is identical. Art Directors Guild Illustrators make important contributions to popular culture, enriching screen entertainment, comic books and graphic novels alike.
