I believe Bob Scifo (spelling) is another one.

I am familiar with the current processes.
As a sidebar I represent a group of CG artists in the Ukraine - all formally
trained artists that happen to like working in the CG world. Amazing work.
Most keyboard jockeys here have little art experience.

These days pretty much all matte painting is done in Photoshop.  Some
scenes
are painted from scratch and others pieced together from vast image
libraries.
These artists have massive archives of skies, textures etc that they
integrate into
their paintings. Sort of a photorealistic collage. Other times they
will build a quick
mock up from basic shapes in a 3d package like Maya (imagine a 3d
drafting program)
to get the perspective right and then paint the photorealistic textures
on top of that
skeleton in Photoshop. Very interesting work. Some of these folks are
incredible talented
and are always in high demand.

Here is one guy who's been around a long time and made the transition
from paint and palette
to bits and bytes.
