I love your paintings and have the utmos...Hi Paul, <br />I love your paintings and have the utmost respect for any illustrators that painted the old matte paintings on canvas or glass. It's a lot harder than merely mashing photos together which doesn't take a lot of skill - I know, I've done it and I'm not impressed by it! To actually realize a building or entire city by hand is nothing short of sensational. The city and White house in Dave is incredible, just incredible and it saddens me that these special FX shots are no longer used. I'd rather watch a film which looked like a fantasy rather than watching reality. We have reality all over TV and now it's spilled over into films and helped to ruin the industry and robbed it of it creativeness. Such a shame. I would use one of these 'traditional' paintings in one of my films over a digital effect any day. By the - by the looks of things 'Lord of the rings' would've looked 100 times better had they done it using your shots, rather than the digital ones. Thanks for posting these marvellous images. I really enjoyed looking at them.
