have a painting by Dusso and have loved it for thirty years. It’s painted on massonite about 6 feet tall. It’s about a statue of a native warrior of Peru, I think. It’s in the jungle with some vines and leaves around it. The warrior is three dimensional with an elaborate headdress., some of it one dimensionsl. An art professor at a college was enthralled with it too. How old was Dusso at the time?. Thanks to a wonderful artist. You have brought much happiness into my life. God bless you.

Admittedly my first reaction on seeing the top image was that somebody has gone and made a building out of my grandmother’s gothic old Philco radio. But seriously, this is really captivating work. I highly recommend viewing the 3 minute or so animation called Hangar 7 on Dusso’s site. It makes you realize just how archaic the term “matte painting” is in the age of 3-d rendering and computer-aided animation.

The top image was concept art for a Superman Returns game adaptation. He’s currently part of elementFX (http://www.elementfx.net/index.htm) when last checked.
