My friend Matt Jones has unearthed a short video interview with John Rose, an illustrator who also worked on films for Kubirck and David Lean.
From a 2010 BBC profile:
"John began his career illustrating books, but also worked on some blockbuster movies, including Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
"John said of working on the 1968 film: 'Stanley wanted some illustrations of what it might look like in outer space.
"'He wanted professional imaginations, or as they subsequently came to be known, conceptualists.'"
Here's the video, along with glimpses of some of John Rose's amazing storyboard skills.

I was fascinated to come across this piece about John Rose. I met him in Lyme Regis after he had retired and, of course, it was amazing to find out that he worked on 2001. It's wonderful to have this film record of this interview. It must have been shot shortly before he died. His wife Margaret survives him
