Timeline

1952

Robert Hunt (born 1952) is an American illustrator and painter.

His works have been commissioned by a variety of clients, including Bank of America, CBS Records, Criterion Collection, DreamWorks Pictures, Disney, Federal Express, MGM, The New Republic, Paramount, Random House, and Rolling Stone, among others.

Robert Hunt was born in 1952 in Berkeley, California, and attended High School at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California.

Growing up, Hunt frequently visited his grandfather, who, after a stroke, was able to use only one arm.

During visits, he often emphasized the importance of appreciating the ability to do things with one's hands.

1960

Hunt found early inspiration growing up in the late 1960s, including films by Stanley Kubrick and David Lean.

Hunt attended UC Davis, where he initially sought a degree in fine art and film making.

With the encouragement of UC Davis professor Wayne Thiebaud, he later switched his undergraduate major to art history.

1976

After graduating from UC Davis with a degree in art history in 1976, Hunt briefly taught mathematics at Esparto Middle School in Esparto, California.

1978

In 1978, Hunt went on to attend The Academy of Art in San Francisco where he was one of two students in the graduate illustration program.

The other student was Kazuhiko Sano, who would go on to illustrate the movie poster for Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

The director of the illustration program at the Academy of Art during Hunt's enrollment was Barbara Bradley, one of the first women to pursue and succeed in commercial illustration.

Hunt credits her with teaching him to turn off his ego while drawing.

1980

Hunt graduated with an MFA from the Academy of Art in 1980.

Although the majority of work in illustration came from magazines and book publishers based in New York City in the early 1980s, delivering art from Hunt's home in San Francisco became a viable option in 1980.

David Grove had forged a successful career in illustration from the West Coast and Hunt, along with Sano decided that they could as well.

Hunt's first published work appeared in 1980 for Listen magazine.

1983

His first appearance in the Society of Illustrators Annual came in 1983, with a piece titled Hidden Victims for Listen magazine.

1984

His first book cover assignment was with Bantam Books in 1984, under the art direction of Jerry Counihan, for the book The Walking Drum by Louis L'Amour.

1994

In 1994, Hunt was commissioned by Steven Spielberg to create the DreamWorks logo.

Spielberg originally imagined a CGI generated image of a man fishing from the Moon.

On Dennis Muren's recommendation that the image instead be an original painting, Hunt was called in to execute the final image on which the motion version was based.

The final motion logo took Hunt three months to complete and features a boy fishing from the Moon.

The model Hunt used for the child was his own son, William Hunt.

2008

Since 2008, Hunt has led an annual New York City trip to introduce students to top art directors and working illustrators as a way to introduce students to professional practices.

Hunt is a member of the New York Society of Illustrators and is a member and past president of the San Francisco Society of Illustrators.

He lives and works in San Anselmo, California, with his wife Lynn.

Hunt has two children: William, who is a music composer, and a daughter who is an animal biologist.

2009

Hunt was featured in an 11-year retrospective of New Republic covers by The Society of Publication Designers for his December 2, 2009 cover titled Trial By Fire picturing the back of President Barack Obama's head, art directed by Christine Car and Joseph Heroun.

2011

New Republic listed Hunt's October 20, 2011 cover portrait of US Presidential contender Rick Perry as an art director pick of the year.

In addition to Hunt's motion logo for DreamWorks, he has created motion logos for Random House Worlds and Broad Green Pictures.

Some of Hunt's book covers include:

Hunt is an associate professor of illustration at the California College of the Arts.
