Cliff’s licensing deals with Lucasfilm, Fox, Bungie, DreamWorks, and Disney not only allow him to legally work on the intellectual properties of these companies, but they’ve provided for accolades and awards in a number of genres. Via Menagerie Creative, Lucasfilm/20th Century Fox chose Cliff from a top list of talent to illustrate the collectible Blu-ray covers for Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Star Wars: Episodes 1 to 3, and Star Wars: Episodes 4 to 6. Currently, Corel features his works as exemplars in their Painter software, and includes him among their ranks of Master Elites.

International juried competitions exhibit Cliff’s paintings, and legendary filmmakers J.J. Abrams and George Lucas own Cliff Cramp original oils as part of their private collections. In his professional work, Cliff uses both analog and digital methods, generally completing commissions with oils and other traditional tools, and employing digital painting solutions for the more iterative illustration assignments.
