Casual reminder there is a matte painting in Skeleton Crew:

“[The showrunner] said, ‘We’ve done animatronic creatures, we’ve done rubber monsters, we’ve done stop-motion creatures. We did miniature and motion control. The only thing we haven’t really done from the old days is a traditionally-painted matte painting. Is it too late to do one?’”

Yep, la voilà ! J'avais retrouvé cette peinture (65x50cm) dans de vieux cartons à dessin en rangeant mon grenier il y a quelques années de ça, et je l'avais postée sur FB à l'époque. Ça date de 1991 environ (j'avais 21 ans... eh oui 🫠) et c'était un entraînement pour me faire la main à l'acrylique.
