  Cabin Boy Original Concept Art by Harrison Ellenshaw (Touchstone Pictures, 1994). A terrific concept painting by acclaimed matte painter and visual effects artist, Harrison Ellenshaw. Harrison, the son of famed filmmaker and artist Peter Ellenshaw, started his career at the Walt Disney Studios before joining George Lucas's effects studio Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), where he produced many of the matte visual effects backgrounds for the film's Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
