UNSUNG HEROES OF ILLUSTRATION PART 21

[@johncollado1151]

Hi Pete... thanks for another informative video, I really enjoy these!

[@petebeard]

Hi to you and regarding your Jack Kirby observation I'm glad you're not offended by my remarks about his rather stiff examples in the video. A fan of his wasn't very pleased at all with what I said

[@LiLi-or2gm]

So very, very good! I am now a huge Ilonka Karasz fan, all thanks to you!

[@petebeard]

Hello Laura - That's why I make the videos. Karasz isn't what I usually like but what a distinctive talent. Thanks for your support.

[@koljak9395]

I can't imagine my morning coffee without one of these videos any longer. Good thing there are 55 more already produced. Great work, Pete, and I'm taking notes left and right!

[@petebeard]

Hello and many thanks for your dedication to the cause. Im about to upload another so that makes 56 yet to see.

[@N0NameAnonymous]

Great work as always

[@pencilquest9409]

Great video! I hope you never stop!

[@petebeard]

I think 'never' might be pushing my luck a bit. But no signs of an end yet.

[@Borella309]

Thanks Pete for another fabulous video!

[@petebeard]

And thanks again for watching

[@WhiteHippoUSA]

I love these videos. Its a nice way to start a day of drawing. =)

[@petebeard]

Thanks a lot -your support is appreciated

[@Ellesmere888]

Once again, a tremendous thank you for your unique videos on an underrated subject. I just love these trips into talent and history.

[@petebeard]

And a thanks to you - it's appreciative comments such as yours that make this worthwhile

[@superwaxx]

These are amazing! Please keep it up.

[@petebeard]

Thanks very much. It's good to be appreciated. Many more to come I hope

[@rondakudrna2054]

Another video cram- packed with impressive works; thank you for it 😊. And all noteworthy illustrators, to be certain, Edward Ardizzone's work really striking a cord with me in this list.

[@petebeard]

Hello again, and I'm glad you continue to find work that's of interest.

[@brunfranc]

Thank you.

[@petebeard]

And thank you for continuing to watch

[@balcon983]

Amazing.

[@edwingalson5506]

You have presented a delightful retrospective , and your knowledge is certainly on point. Your entire vocalizations were quite calming and this was an entirely enjoyable video . Thank you so very much Pete.I am certainly looking forward to more of these mini documentaries presented as loving biographies.

[@petebeard]

Thanks a lot

[@gabriellew6467]

A quintet of talents, so varied and providing food for thought. What a delightful thought, that many hours of entrttainment provided by you are still to come. Thank you

[@petebeard]

Thanks as ever, and i intend to keep making more content as long as I'm able to. At my age (and some of my youthful excesses) you can only hope.

[@GRIMxGREEN]

Another amazing video. You are a treasure!

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks. Never thought of myself as a treasure but it's nice of you to say so.

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

Ardizzone's work reminds me of the playfulness of Sempe! Bergey! I've only been familiar with his pulp scifi work (I own a few issues), nice to see more of his work outside of that!

[@drawninwardart]

Just re-researching Edward Ardizonne and really enjoyed your info on him. He’s well revered by the head of illustration at Glos Uni who leads my MA illustration course.

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks for your comment. It's good to know there are others who admire the man's work. Generally I think we Brits are pretty poor at remembering our great illustrators.

[@judyparker8459]

Ardizzone is another favorite of mine. I have his last book (didn't know that!), it's one of my best treasures of both the artist and its writer. I can now see adding many more children's books to my art book collection, to study and enjoy the illustrations just for my own pleasure these days.

[@petebeard]

Hello again and I'm glad you found anither you particularly admire. A rare and distinctive talent.

[@Stone2home]

Interesting, your mention of the great William Maxwell. His "All the Days and Nights", a collection of short stories, or of memories, really... It's something, and one never forgets reading it. He has a very gentle touch with words.

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks for the comment. I must confess ignorance regarding William Maxwell's writing. I'll investigate

[@petebeard]

@@Stone2home Thanks for the link

[@Stone2home]

@@petebeard Not to be too... whatever it is, I believe that Charles Darwin and Ernst Haeckel ("The German Darwin") were both notable descriptive illustrators. For that matter, some large percentage of Da Vinci's art must have been descriptive illustration. I was thinking as well of Alexander von Humboldt, an early German (Prussian) natural scientist, who was a noted illustrator himself and, I recall, always retained professional technical illustrators to travel along and make records of the expeditions. I believe Darwin, in some part, intended to expand on Humbolt's legacy. Windy, ain't I.

[@pprehn5268]

Such a wonderful glimmer at culture over time

[@petebeard]

Hello again. I'm of the opinion that illustration is a far better indicator of our history and daily lives than art. Not as self-obsessed.

[@alexandrebeaudoin-laporte5325]

3:14 Kiichi Okamoto

[@petebeard]

Hello again. I hope this means you like these artists! Thanks for watching

[@simonward-horner7605]

Thanks again, Pete - once more, some new discoveries for me.

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks as ever. I must say I found Kiichi Okamoto's work to be quite remarkable. Sadly I've only been able to feature a small number of Japanese illustrators of the period.

[@simonward-horner7605]

@@petebeard Yes, there must be a wealth of non-western illustrators to marvel at. But you've rightly included a good one there.

Wonderful video s thanks

[@n3bie]

This one was so good!

[@petebeard]

Glad you liked it - for some reason it was a tough one to make. Took me ages.

[@n3bie]

@@petebeard Your hard work is greatly appreciated. I found it extremely engaging this go around. In fact, some seller on ebay owes you a commission because you caused me to hunt down one of the 1929 editions of Le Fanu's "In a Glass Darkly" with Ardizzone's illustrations and to buy it since I love Le Fanu and Ardizzone's work in the volume looks incredible!

[@petebeard]

@@n3bie I have to confess ignorance about Le Fanu other than I've heard the name. But I've admired Ardizzone since childhood as I read his 'Tim' books as I grew up. It isn't often the word 'unique' actually applies.

[@n3bie]

@@petebeard after scanning the web for the Tim series, I see what you mean. Such an endearing and expressive style!

[@smokytopia6354]

Thankyou Pete! Much appreciated.

[@petebeard]

...as are your favourable comments about the content.

[@mijiyoon5575]

I used to subscribe to the New Yorker Magazine...must have been in the '80's. I've heard those *Tim* books are hard to find & pricey now days

[@petebeard]

Hello and this is nothing to do with this comment...it's the link to freesource. I think youtube won't put up comments with links but luckily they come through to my mail anyway. So I tried Freesource but can't get to any music. What am I missing? Any thoughts?

[@mijiyoon5575]

@@petebeard I replied to this but cannot find it so will rewrite it here. I have no idea how the freesource works it was listed on another vid I watched. I've noticed it more than once; I watch a lot of true crime so it may have been on one of those. When I see it again I'll let you know which vid I saw it on; they usually list their sources below their vids. I can give you the titles of ones I watch most if you want them for sources. Could have been on an audiobook; I listen to many of those also. Let me know if you want the channel names; I only subscribe to below 50 it's all I care to manage
