<p>167.102.134.34: /* The Lord of the Rings */ deleted incorred apostraphe</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Tim Hildebrandt.jpg|thumb|150px|Tim Hildebrandt]]<br /> '''Greg Hildebrandt''' (born [[January 23]], [[1939]]) and '''Tim Hildebrandt''' (January 23, [[1939]] – [[June 11]], [[2006]]), twin borthers, are recognized artists in the world of [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]-inspired art. Other art includes the original poster art of ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Art_of_the_Brothers_Hildebrandt Star Wars]'' and over a hundred ''[http://en.marveldatabase.com/Hildebrandt_Brothers/Gallery Marvel Masterpieces]'', including ''Swimsuit Specials''. Being twins, they paint together, or in shifts, dependent of the time they have for a piece of art. <br /> __NOTOC__<br /> ==The Lord of the Rings==<br /> [[Image:Greg Hildebrandt.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Greg Hildebrandt]]<br /> After seeing [[The J.R.R. Tolkien Calendar 1975|a Tolkien calendar]] with [[Tim Kirk]]'s art, they responded to a call for artists by [[Ballantine Books|Ballantine]]. Their art was well-liked, and they were commissioned to illustrate the [[1976 J.R.R. Tolkien Calendar|1976 Ballantine calendar]]. <br /> <br /> More calendars followed: [[1977 J.R.R. Tolkien Calendar|1977]], [[1978 J.R.R. Tolkien Calendar|1978]] - and they sold a record one million calendars. They moved their scope to other large projects, but kept producing Tolkien artwork. In [[2001]], ''[[Greg and Tim Hildebrandt: The Tolkien Years]]'' was published by Greg's son, Gregory Jr. Following the release of this collection, Ballantine began to reissue their popular Tolkien Calendars starting in [[The Brothers Hildebrandt 2002 Calendar|2002]].<br /> <br /> After a struggle with diabetes, Tim Hildebrandt passed away on [[June 11]], [[2006]].<br /> <br /> ==Published artwork==<br /> * [[1976]] - ''[[1976 J.R.R.
