Painting of Daffy Duck as Duck Dodgers from the two-part second season finale “Of Course You Know This Means War and Peace,” 2005. Jesse Silver rendered this in oils from a layout drawing I provided (see last post to see drawing).
Daffy Duck made after the likeness of a Garfield Goose painting from the set of WGN’s “Family Classics.” This painting by Jesse Silver of artwork I pencilled, found its way into episodes of “Duck Dodgers” and “The Looney Tunes Show.”
Daffy Duck finally gets his close up on this “TV Guide” cover! Tony Cervone and I were asked to come up with artwork featuring Bugs and Daffy for this cover. Bugs Bunny makes a subtle/not so subtle appearance. Clean up by Doug Ninneman, digital paint by Jesse Silver.
Updated art for the 2009 DVD release of “Quackbusters,” based on the original 1988 poster. Updated version by Spike Brandt (drawing) and Jesse Silver (painting).

We chat with matte painter Jesse Silver about his work on Tron, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Labyrinth, moving from real paint to digital for Super Mario Bros., and one high-pressure effects house that had phones in the toilet stalls.
Seen above, painting a background for Tron, Jesse recalls:
Here's a picture of me painting the original master shot of the TRON holding cells in the Disney matte department circa 1981. You'll note that it's in color, rather than grayscale. When we ramped up production following NATO, all of the TRON backgrounds were painted in grayscale.
