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

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

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I also like some of the stuff by Angus McBride.its great how he gives historical references for all the clothes worn in his pictures.

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! :ph34r:

(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
