Arethemost.com Souvlaki – Joao Ruas Albert Whitlock - a scrapbook of memorable matte moments No two ways about it, when it boils down to it, the most recognised name in cinematic matte wizardry would have to be the late, great Albert Whitlock. No other name associated with matte painting has had near the impact that Whitlock has had to generations of film viewers. Although many of the names I have written on here previously were masters of the art form in their day, the fact that the public never really knew anything about their deliberately concealed trickery was thanks to overly protective studio bosses who often went all out to deny that the wonders up on that silver screen were anything other than great insightful film making.

EARTHQUAKE, a film that back in it's day, 1974 totally blew my impressionable teenaged mind, especially when exhibited on first release in 70mm six track stereo on the huge curved screen at the now sadly deceased Cinerama theatre in Auckland - and in the new multi-sensation shattering Sensurround. It really was "an event", just as the posters proclaimed. EARTHQUAKE was the film for me (after KING KONG and maybe JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS) back around the mid seventies, and one of the first that drew me into the netherworld that is (or at least used to be) matte paintings.

Hell, even Walter Matthau fronted up unbilled as a drunk survivor.
Loopydave on deviantART Graphic-ExchanGE - a selection of graphic projects This new deck by Joe White follow the Contraband one. You know Joe and his amazing detailed design as we work together on the (sold out) 2015 edition of the calendar and he designed the front cover. Every single playing card within the High Victorian deck was designed from scratch - even the Aces, Jokers, and court cards exude the grand excess of ornamentation quintessential to the Victorian era. In a word: breathtaking. Antler is a deck designed by Tom Lane, who also creates this year edition of the front cover of the letterpress calendar! I contact Jeff Trish as I love his design of this deck, and I am pleased to say he participates in this year edition of the calendar too! As both Tom Lane and Jeff Trish participate in this year calendar I propose you 2 packs with the calendar (Deluxe or Normal) and their decks.
