captweaver65 Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 it seems we lost our last topic on pirate art,so here we go again Capt Weaver "No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company. " Dr. Samuel Johnson Capt Weaver's Pirate Perversions

redhand Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 Capt weaver- Those are cool, I love old illustration ads. it's basically a lost art, to much photography being used today. People just don't have or want to use their imaginations anymore. Don Maitz is one of the only guys illustrating a large ad account that I can think of much anymore. Illustration is largely becoming a lost art, it's nice to see those great old illustrations. especially something as fun as that pirate one. Cheers redhand
captweaver65 Posted August 13, 2003 Author Posted August 13, 2003 so true,Red Hand Capt Weaver "No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.

BlackDianae Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Another artist that I enjoy be Richard Becker, publisher and editor in chief of Pirate Tales! http://www.pirate-tales.com
Morgan La Scylla Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Ah! Pirate Tales! I do so enjoy the stories as well as the great artwork! Thanks for the reminder Black Dianae. I'll have to get out me old issues and read them again! Hoist the colors Laddies! We're goin' in fer the kill!
redhand Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Yeah, I forgot about Becker's stuff, although I don't own any of the comics that he illustrated, I do enjoy his work. Redhand
BlackDianae Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Indeed, especially some of his quick sketches. Reminds me of Pyle and the intensity of his illustrations.
redhand Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Yes, I've only seen a limited amount of Becker's work, but what i have seen, I liked. I enjoy George Woodbridge's work very much. He did a ton of military illustrations... Company of military historians journals & books, as well as several books written by Newman. He also used to do work for MAD magazine. I am lucky enough to own one of his originals...a Confederate drummer boy. I'd love to one day purchase another one. Right now I'm getting ready to start illustrating some pen/ink & Watercolor drawings of early Wampanoag indians and Massachusetts militia from the King Phillip's War period, not exactly piratical, but interesting time period non the less. Cheers Redhand
captweaver65 Posted August 15, 2003 Author Posted August 15, 2003 Another artist that I enjoy be Richard Becker, publisher and editor in chief of Pirate Tales!http://www.pirate-tales.com those look like fine readin from the samples I saw. I also like some of the stuff by Angus McBride.its great how he gives historical references for all the clothes worn in his pictures.

the Royaliste Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I ani't stealin' yer thread, Weaver, but any of ye on the Northern California coast needin a good wall hangin' photo, I'm sailin' tomorrow upcoast heavily shelling everything to prooftest my new cannons...more gunpowder and smoke than POTC, by Neptunes Trident.....
redhand Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Yeah, McBride's work is great! He's one of my favorite modern historical illustrators. I've bought the Osprey book titles for years simple because he illustrated the majority of them, even titles Ihad no interest in. His work made the subject really come alive. A friend of mine is making me the bucket sleeved work coat that the sailor is wearing in the "Blackbeard" plate in the Pirate book he illustrated....it'll be in green wool with brass buttons...hand sewn with linen thread of course! (a little authenticity joke there) I'm also getting set to start some piratical pen & inks as well as a couple of oil paintings. Just as soon as I get my film back from the modeling sessions. Cheers Redhand
