UNSUNG HEROES OF ILLUSTRATION PART 35

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

The 43 cigarette ad campaign... Brilliant!!!

[@TheMarkEH]

It is such a pleasure to watch these entertaining, informative and high quality videos that I am addicted to them. Thanks for researching so many outstanding illustrators Pete.

[@petebeard]

Hi again and you're more than welcome.

[@emptyentertainments7914]

Hi Pete - Thanks again - Juan Carlos Huergo - Amazed by the ability to shift styles and excel at each. Amazed by your series.

[@petebeard]

Thanks a lot - and I really can't understand how he's so unknown. There must be more work out there somewhere..

[@thecollageman3290]

Thank you Peter for this series. The amount of work you put in is amazing . The more you look the more you see where artists got their ideas.

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. I'm glad to say it doesn't feel like work. I actually enjoy excavating these illustrators and shining a bit of light on their work.

[@Ellesmere888]

Thank you Mr. Beard for another terrific episode.

[@Borella309]

As always, Thanks Pete for another beautiful video. Your efforts are loved, appreciated (and eagerly awaited!) Obviously hope you are well and staying safe! Terry.

[@petebeard]

Thanks a lot for the lavish praise. More - eventually - on it's way.

[@anniebooo]

Thank you Pete, enjoying watching this episode. Best regards, Annie

[@petebeard]

Hello again and I'm glad to see you're still ploughing through the back catalogue.

[@wildfood1]

Thanks for another fine episode.

[@mariagordanier3404]

Another excellent amusing video. Thank you sincerely! Your work is appreciated.

[@petebeard]

Hello again and my thanks as usual. I'm really pleased you continue to find the channel of interest.

[@theinkpirate2710]

The work Carlos did was absolutely amazing, his style is very inspiring, thank you for great episode

[@petebeard]

And thanks as ever for watching and commenting. How can someone that good be so obscure?

[@combatgirl38]

Of all the channels I follow, yours sits at the very top as a guaranteed source of pure JOY. It's medicine for my bedraggled critically thinking mind and weary soul that seems to never get a rest in today's shocking;y nonsensical world. I don't just recommend your series to others, I prescribe it with a guarantee to back it. What has brought me here today is your inclusion of Juan Carlos Hugo's work. His art, like many others you've featured, appeals to the very place in my being that exists solely to allow for me to fully appreciate what a wonderful gift it is to be human in spite of all else. It's the direct access to this place that your features grant, that otherwise remains greatly hidden despite my continual lookout for things that bring me and others Joy. I wanted to thank you for including his work even though there is so little known. My hope is to encourage more features that may have otherwise been deemed as too incomplete to add to this awe-inspiring list of invaluable documentation of incredible talents from around the world. This is inarguable Proof that humans are simply Amazing creatures, not just war mongering, greedy, destructive animals. I truly hope that this series Never ends. It's an invaluable body of evidence that stands to correct Anyone who believes that we have no value to add to this planet. It's time we begin to embrace this aspect of our existence in life and reject the ongoing focus on what we do that is nothing but harmful. I believe with this shift we may inspire the desire for doing better, rather than begrudging the need.

[@petebeard]

Hello and I greatly appreciate your overwhelming praise for the channel, and what I'm attempting to achieve with it. One of the greatest pleasures in making these videos has been coming across obscure talents and introducing them to others who might also appreciate their work. I fully intend to continue making the videos and there's no sign of running out of material for quite a long time. Given my advancing years it's more likely I'll fall off my perch before that happens...

[@therabbithole1554]

another great video! thank you for making these gems

[@petebeard]

Thanks - it's nice to be appreciated.

[@davidshurville3658]

Thanks Pete. Yet another 'smoking' video!' Always a pleasure.

[@petebeard]

Thanks again for your ongoing support and appreciation.

[@georgestacey9558]

I love your channel, the art, the music, it's like a tonic for my soul.

[@petebeard]

Hello to you and thanks for watching and liking the channel. It means a lot.

[@alvyshem]

these series are amazing! thank you so much for your work, it's precious. The other interesting children's illustrator Juri Vasnetsov (1900-1973), he made great illustrations, especially in his "classic" period , if you are intrested to make a short review about him, that would be great!

[@petebeard]

Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of my channel. And many more thanks for telling me about Vasnetsov. I had never heard of him and I hope to make a video about him if I can find enough pictures and information.

[@leo1500]

I'm finally caught up with the videos on the channel. Thank you for the amazing content this series has shown so far. When I first got here I was looking for inspiration and got much more than that. I've been sharing this channel with every art community I'm in hahaha

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks for watching. I'm very pleased that you have found inspiration from some of the illustrators, and many thanks for shering with others. More is on the way - but I seem to be only able to do a new video every two weeks or so.

[@johnmitchelljr]

Thank you, you are a great hardworking teacher. I always smile when I find a George Carlson book that has been pencilled in knowing that some child not only looked at his illustrations but took time to get involved in the riddles and puzzles. A lot of children got much pleasure from his work. Is that called interactive? Thanks again.

[@petebeard]

Hello again and thanks for the flattering comment. I'm glad to say hard work is the last thing it feels like.

[@kahlil.alcala]

Thank you for your videos!

[@12theotherandrew]

What a wonderful collection! Leonnec was a rather amusing cheeky fellow. Carlson seems to me to have squandered his greatest achievement by not producing more of the style he adopted for Elizabeth Blanch-Wade. But maybe there wasn’t enough opportunity there to explore his own creativity.

[@petebeard]

Thanks again for another favourable comment. I've found many of the subjects I've covered have had what seem to be rather odd or unfathomable career moves, and sadly there just isn't enough awritten about them to be able to find out the whys and wherefores.

[@danbeaudet6718]

Juan Carlos Huergo is interesting! His cigarettes ads are more self promotion, in a very unique way!

[@petebeard]

Hello and I absolutely agree. It's one of the most imaginative and entertaining ad campaigns I've ever seen but very few are aware of it or Huergo's talent. Talk about buried treasure...

[@nde5726]

Fantastic

[@petebeard]

Thanks. Short but sweet comment..

[@jill-ti7oe]

👍

[@BabsChannel]

Do you have any social media links to speak of?

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks for watching. And the answer to your question is no I don't. At the risk of sounding like the grumpy old man I am I reckon they're the work of the devil. KZbin I tolerate (just)

[@laudragora]

Hi Pete, thank you so much for your videos, your content is incredible. I’m a fine art student investigating about Georges Leonnec for a proyect and your information really helped me. Would you mind leaving your information sources? Thank you and have a great day!

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks for your appreciation of the channel. I'm sorry to say I can't be much help with regard to Leonnec. The only information of any substance is on Wikipedia France, and even that doesn't come up on a google search. You have to first go to Wikipedia France and then search for Georges Leonnec. That page quotes a couple of sources but they seem to lead nowhere as far as I can tell. The best I could do was copy it into Google translate and try to turn it into some semblance of English. I know that academics frown on Wikipedia, but sadly it's the only resource for many of the illustrators I've featured. Maybe you could switch to someone with a stronger profile (Cheret? Lautrec? Cassandre?) for the purpose of your written work, and maybe check out what your library stocks before deciding. Either way I wish you the best of luck.

[@laudragora]

@@petebeard Thank you so much for your help, i’ll try to do some research and i will think about changing it to another illustrator, but it’ll be such a shame because i’m completelly in love with Leonnec’s drawings.

[@petebeard]

@@laudragora Hi again. I just came across this ...www.amazon.co.uk/Vie-Parisienne-Victor-Arwas/dp/1901092658. It might be useful but there's no way of knowing.

[@sprattiart]

Thanks Pete another great episode. Have you covered the work of Dean Cornwell?

[@petebeard]

Hello again and thanks. Dean Cornwell was featured in unsung heroes 19. I hope you approve.

[@gabrielerosa665]

Pete, every video is better than precedent one! How do you arrive to make these series ? I'm really appreciate If you can explain something about it.. it's seems obvious - when we see your work, but it isn't no obvious before - that the "unsung heroes" deserves their "songs", but what was your inner motivation to bring us these gems of art and time!!

[@petebeard]

Hello again. This answer might be a bit on the long side. Having taught illustration for 15 years I came to understand just how ignorant young students were about the great earlier illustrators, so when I retired I thought it would be a good idea to pay tribute to those I consider almost unknown (and a few who arent). And on a personal level I need occupation in my old age and I choose to no longer work for clients who are generaly idiots. So here we are. And there are still as many waiting to be featured as I've already done so I hope you will stick around.

[@gabrielerosa665]

@@petebeard I'll answer in a short while....now I'm only give you two names, genious, that I've known, two of them from Uruguay. One of them, the most notorius : Hermenegildo Sábat ( Menchi ), who has published - working from BsAs, the big market of South America- in US, in newspapers and with an impressive book about Tango musicians and singers. The second, the one who had worked in advertising only in Uruguay : Armando Ledoux, who sadly die last year. I'm have had the honor of see him working....I was an aprentice in the same agency, and then we made a friendship who last over the years. Both have had their beggining carrer at the same advertising agency, just disappeared in the late 90's....Publicidad Oriental.

[@johncollado1151]

Hi Pete.... The last artist, Juan Carlos Huergo wouldn't do too well in today's society, at least not with his cigarette art, though his style would work with anything else. Thanks for another educational video. Hope all is well and stay safe.

[@moonsdonut5188]

im eternally gratfull that you put these on the internet now and can copy and steal the style, good artist copy great artist steal

[@petebeard]

Thanks a lot. Stealing/borrowing/copying - the best way of getting good at it.
