Joe Johnston & Colin Cantwell

I stumbled across some Joe's artwork for a while back. He'd been one of ILM's key concept artists, I think before there was even a department. Along with model maker, Colin Cantwell, they created all sorts of fantastic sets and ideas for a host of movies, most notably the original Star Wars movies.

These are some photos of his designs alongside Colin's models.

Joe's gone ahead and left the art department, and pursued a career in Film Direction, helming movies like Rocketeer, and the upcoming Wolf Man movies.
