As a word of caution, I'd point out that most of the people at mattepainting.org seem to view matte painting as starting with a photo, then making it look like something a very drunken Thomas Kinkade shat out at a store in the mall. The term "matte painting" has lost a lot of it's meaning, and you will find that many, many so called "matte painters" have never worked with a live action background plate before. Make sure to ask all the obvious questions before hiring someone.

Concept artists. Matte painter is probably a more tedious job.

There is always Ron Crabb. Old school. Not sure he is even really doing it anymore, but you can always ask. http://www.crabbdigital.com/NEW_COMM/NEW_Pages/NEW_CD_Mattes_001.html#
