MATT'S OFFICE

As you enter Busch's office, the walls are also covered with his framed work, though here you'll see more familiar pieces. "I've got a bunch of random chairs here for now. These are for if I'm working with clients or colleagues, or just showing stuff to friends."

One of Busch's rare works, a never-used cover from his comic book, Alizarin's Journal.

"At the moment, pretty much anything I do that's digital, this is where it happens. Email, surfing the 'Net, touching up art with PhotoShop, editing video... In fact, you'll notice the mic set up, as I'm currently doing voice-overs for a new How to Draw Star Wars episode. Right now I have 3 computers I actively use, but eventually, a lot of this will be delegated to my digital editing suite, and audio mix room, once they are complete."

"I have 5 printers in this room at the moment. I seem to run through them really quick before they go kaput. Hence why I keep the boxes handy before they hit the dumpster. You'll also notice the plethora of external hard drives I have running on my Macs, and 12" X 18" scanner."

"Sadly, it seems that business keeps me in here more these days than in the art studio. But that's okay, Han Solo keeps me company. He 'aint going anywhere. And I still need to hang it up, but here is also one of the limited edition full-size Conjure movie posters that were made."

Doing his best to effectively use space, an entire wall in the office is stacked with boxes of Busch's graphic novel, Crisis. "Rather than put these in storage, I keep these here because I know sooner or later, when the movie happens, these are gonna fly like hot cakes!"

Continuing on through the home, the walls are adorn with exotic vases and masks from Indonesia.

In one hallway stands this giant piece, framed in black bamboo. "This very well may be the largest painting I've ever done."

"I don't know why I'm so drawn to this kind of art. I know as a kid, I found Shiva statues frightening, but as an adult I just think this stuff is gorgeous."

"It's funny, I really wanted these rooms to look domestic, rather than covered in all of my pop culture stuff, although it still looks like another world in here. The running joke is that it looks more like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom!"
