on the changing wall displays in the movie Antitrust, and who are
similar artists with that style?

If you could give a bit more information about the zcene(s) in which
this occurs, that would be very helpful.  I have a feeling that you
might be describing the a process called rotoscoping, where actors are
filmed, then coloured in to look like a cartoon - it leaves the 'real'
looking movements and body sizes, but allows some creativity over
this.  Here is a list of all the cast and crew for the movie:

Doug Bryggdin was the Art Director, so I presume he was responsible
for the effect which you describe.  Jessica Sjoblom is listed as a
rotoscope artist.

If this answers your question, please post a clarification saying so,
and I will repost as an answer.

Thanks very much,

It is the scene where there is a party at Gary Winston's (Tim Robbins)
house, and he has large lcd displays on every wall where the art
changes to suit the guest.  Whenever Milo Hoffman (Ryan Phillippe)
enters the room, the art changes to a comic-book scene style art.  It
doesn't have quite the pop-art feel of Lichtenstein - more of a
graphic comic-book kind of look - looks nothing like the cast members
either - could be more towards an alien depicted than a cast member. 
Thanks for your input.

Roy Lichtenstein is the best known of the pop art movement that
"appropriated" images from (among other things) comic book art.

IMDB (http://www.imdb.com) doesn't have a credit for him for the
movie "Antitrust" but does list him for "The Ice Storm" for his
art contributions.

From: http://www.antitrustthemovie.com/production_synapse4.html

Milo is a fan of a cartoon character known as Alien Kitty, which was
created especially for the film by New York artist/cartoonist Floyd
Hughes.

Author: George R.R. Martin 
Series: Wild Cards: Volume 2 
Blurb: George R. R. Martin (Editor) Floyd Hughes (Illustrator)

It all began in 1946, when the bizarre, gene-altering "Wild Cards"
virus was unleashed in the skies over New York City. A virus that
created superpowered Aces and bizarre, disfigured Jokers. Now, thirty
years later, the victims face a new nightmare. From the far reaches of
space comes The Swarm, a deadly menace that could very well destroy
the planet. Putting aside their hatred and mistrust, Aces and Jokers
must form an uneasy alliance and prepare for a battle they must not
lose...


I thought the graphics looked like something Marvel
comics would do and it appears that Hughes worked
at least once for them:

has some entries for Floyd Hughes.


Lots of the Marvel illustrators that worked on
The Silver Surfer, etc. like Romita, have a style
like Hughes.


Search strategy: watch the movie, read the credits,
then did searchs on Floyd Hughes.
