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.

exCUSE ME?!?!!??!??! TheYRE PAINTINGS?!??!!?!

SHUT UP I thought they were miniatures!!!!

It’s too beautiful. I could cry.

I love this because I’ll be watching a movie and think “how did they do that? Is that a building they built for this movie? Was it there beforehand? Is it cardboard or CGI? Is that actually some place on Earth that they’re filming?” And the answer to all of these now is “nope, that’s a painting”. I can’t believe some of the most iconic, familiar shots were paintings!

I think I’m making a career out of “redrawing awful stock sunday school illustrations” for my mom in the Church Children’s ministry

before: “The Ascension of Jesus” coloring page (note the lack of Jesus on the page)

After:

thank you for your hard work and trust me, it’s highly needed. I remember my religion class where we had to color these horrible drawings over and over, every f*** year omg thanks for making it beautiful

Jenny Hueston

All of us have a million stories, a million odd things that have happened to us. Miracle moments, scrapes with death; amorous memories, chance encounters. We move moment to moment, living out our stories tied to time. Jenny Hueston pauses that march, helps us to find a second out of time, a chance to reflect on all that we’ve lived, on all that is to come.
