Capt. Flint Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Ahoy all.... I checked out the web site for NeNe Thomas. It was okay. I mean the work was very well done. It was just that it didn't seem very original. The picture of Corsair was good, but, just not what I had hoped for. Her work is nicely done and I'm certain that she has a lot of fans. It just isn't what I'm into anymore. It seems to have the same look as the stuff you find in Heavy Metal magazine. I sort of out grew that stuff a while ago. For those who are into that look, you will really like her work and should definelty check it out..... Enjoy... The Capt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhand Posted May 22, 2003 Author Share Posted May 22, 2003 Capt Flint- I'll agree with ya that it's definately in the Fantasy realm, but I enjoyed some of her stuff. It was a bit light for me overall, I more drawn (forgive the pun) to more illustrative/impresionistic artwork. I like the old illustrators like Pyle, Wyeth & Schoonover -the whole Brandywine school. I draw a lot of my own inspiration from all those guys, I also enjoy Don Maitz's work, especially his comic flair. At some point I'm hoping to get some realistic pirate work up on my website, mostly all I have are comic/humorous drawings & ink renderings- and I haven't even got my pirate folder loaded up yet.

redhand Posted May 22, 2003 Author Share Posted May 22, 2003 By The Way- I don't know how many of you are familier with Robert E. Howard's pulp work-Conan-the Barbarian, Red Sonja are two of his more familier characters. He also wrote a few stories about a character named Soloman Kane, who was a puritain mercenary. Great character, I'd love to get my hands on some of the pulp stories Howard wrote about him. I have the lMarvel comic series they did on him, not to much justice unfortunately. He has a couple storylines that involve pirates, I even wrote a Soloman Kane short story involving the great Port Royal earthquake one time just for my own entertainment! Check him out sometime Redhand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Ahoy, maties! For those of you looking for realistic fantasy art prints about nautical and/or pirate stuff, try looking at the Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell art site. Just type in "Boris Julie" in your search engine, and it'll come up with their website. It's really neat, and you can search through quickly under different categories and either or both artists. P.S.> Boris Vallejo did the artwork for National Lampoon's Family Vacation, where Chevy Chase looks like He-Man. Arrgh! Capt.

redhand Posted June 2, 2003 Author Share Posted June 2, 2003 Ahoy Mates! This weekend at a local sale put on by our community Library and Historical society I was able to purchase a 1927 edition of our local newspaper, which displayed two beautifully yellowing illustrated black and white movie house ads featuring the coming arttractions; that being Douglas Fairbanks Jr. starring in THE BLACK PIRATE. They're great little ads and both feature a nice B/W illustration of a pirate ship w/ a jolly rodger on the sail, the larger ad shows an illustrated caricature of fairbanks' head. I was also able to pick up a 1st edition copy of a Rapheal Sabitini novel-unfortunately it was one about an Italian outlaw, and not Scaramouche or Capt. Blood. Total cost for both novel and newspaper, a whopping $1.50! Sometimes ya just get lucky! I'll try & post a pic of the BP ad. Redhand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateQueen Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I was also able to pick up a 1st edition copy of a Rapheal Sabitini novel-unfortunately it was one about an Italian outlaw, and not Scaramouche or Capt. Blood. Congrats! I think anything by Sabatini is terrif!

DuCouer Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I know this is a little late but The Batman Pirate Issue was a Detective Comic Annual (7) drawn Buy Alcatena...Very Dark and Very Well Done....Cat Woman as A Pirate queen and The Joker a maniacal (of Course) marauder...Brilliant. I think it was written by Chuck Dixon. The Flying Fox was his ship and Batman was called Leatherwing....Brillian In the Witchblade comic..Tales of the Witchblade...The characters name was actually Anne Bonny. I wouls also recommend Cross Gen Chronicals featuring George Perez Art...A little Sci-fi but it has a great sea Battle and What else...a sword fight on the beach...
