Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.






There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves !
Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:

Mapped Domesticity | Vere van Gool Location: Salton Territory, California, USA - AA School of Architecture Projects Review 2012 - Inter 1
- In the desert, all you need is gas, cash and a place to crash… This commentary-project is the rework of the 1950’ies design of the American Farm through a critical reading of the landscape and how land exploitation operates according to the speculated decay of the Salton Territory, proposing the American Farm as a condensed symbol of the late 2020’ies over-accelerated sense of mobility, contra intuitive consumerism and manic domestic consequences of (utopian) American Life.

'Parfum' for Interview Magazine
I did six perfume bottle illustrations for fragrance reviews in the Russian edition of Interview Magazine. They all had very different personalities and I wanted to show visually what you otherwise would never see.
Thanks to AD Mariya Brish!
