- In order of appearance this instalment's featured illustrators are:
Edmund J Sullivan, Werner Hahmann, Charles Loupot and Leslie Illingworth. All criminally neglected.
And there have been some favourable comments sent recently which I wanted to respond to but when I try they just disappear. Apologies if you're one of them.
Your work is a cultural treasure
Hello and many thanks for your kind comment.
Cannot stop watching this series. Totally addictive. Beware! Seriously though, I am grateful to Pete Beard for intoducing me to this vast treasure house of talent. Unsung Heroes indeed.
Hello and many thanks for your enthusiasm for the channel. It's good to know viewers find new illustrators and the content interesting.
Always ~ the best! Thanks for your consummate posts!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you. You continue to inspire.
...and thanks to you as usual.
Another lovely video. Thank you
Hello and you're welcome. Thanks for watching.
I really should have said more, I have had a lifetime love of illustrations and of trying to create art telling stories! Each time I watch one of your beautifully narrated video, I want to shout, stop let’s look more closely! At least I know the names, but fear finding their work in affordable books! May you have blessed and safe days!
Hi again - and I'm always happy to get positive feedback whether it's short or long. It's a very pleasant feeling to know viewers are finding the featured illustrators rewarding.
Excellent as always love seeing the variety of work done by the artists.
These stories really hold my interest because they are so well done…very professional looking! Keep ‘em coming!
Hello and many thanks for your comment. It's great to be appreciated.
You pulled it off again, Pete. Thank you!
Hi - and I hope I can continue to do so.
I am addicted to your series Unsung Heroes! I absolutely love learning from them.
Hello and thanks a lot for your enthusiastic response to the channel. It's good to know viewers get something from the illustrations shown.
Thanks for including Leslie Illingworth in this. He grew up with my grandma and when my mother moved to London as a young woman he took her under his wing and they were very close. We have a drawing he did of her. Unfortunately I don’t think I ever met him though unless I did when I was small.
Thanks a lot for your comment. As I grew up in the 1950's his work was still quite prevalent and he was one of several who inspired me to make a living making pictures.
Pete, there are many reasons why I enjoy your videos. They are beautiful to watch, your narrative is interesting and very clearly stated, and the music you’ve chosen for the background enhances the overall atmosphere of the program. As an American living in upstate New York, I should add, your accent and articulation add to the overall enchantment of the work. But there is a deeper and more important aspect to what you do and how you do it. It’s the tremendous variety of artistic styles you present. You do this objectively without the geopolitical constraints that would surely restrict others. The unsung illustrators who provided work to enhance or unabashedly promote propagandistic ideologies are given equal artistic consideration. It’s about the art. The governmental influences are stated but not with an overdone sense of political correctness. You leave those judgements up to your viewers and I for one greatly appreciate that. - Len
Hello again Len. Good to hear from you and I'm immensely flattered by your wide-ranging praise for my efforts. The thing about my voice is strange to me - I recently made a video for a collector of fantasy art who wanted it for when the work is exhibited. I was amazed he was happy with my Mancunian accent rather than what I would percieve as one of those smooth reassuring american voice-overs. Nevertheless praise from a real painter such as yourself is worth its weight in gold, and I hope you'll continue to make observations on other videos.
Very nice. It seems like there was a golden age of illustration that is only now getting full appreciation.
Hello and thanks. There are still more waiting to feature in this series than I've already covered.
Smashing, thanks Pete.
Hello Mark and thanks for sticking with the channel.
Ah, yes, Sullivan is beautifully covered here, and Illingworth, what a master! Thanks, Pete!
Hi again and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@petebeard As always.
I love these, dude. Keep it up.
Hi and thanks a lot.
Hi Pete! Delightful video as always. Is there anywhere where you might be able to share access to the images from the videos, such as a google drive or something? As an illustrator myself it'd be hugely helpful to have access to matching image sets for doing studies while watching the episodes. Thanks!
Hello and thanks for your appreciation. I doubt it would do uch good even if I knew what a google drive was. The images are at least 70 percent from the internet and I tend to discard the downloaded image files once I've used them. But all you would need to do is make a note of those you find of interest and create your own archive from google images.
@@petebeard Oh no problem at all! Just thought I'd ask. Thanks again for the remarkable work!
Thanks again Pete. I was especially interested in Sullivan's work and amused to find that I have the 1901 3 vol' edition of Shakespeare, that he did the front illustrations for, on my bookshelf. I've had them since I was 16yrs old but never read as the paper is thinner than you'd find in a Gideon bible, and I was always frightened of tearing it!
Hello again and thanks for your continued appreciation. That explains why I couldn't find more examples from the Shakespeare book. I'd been led to understand it was a more thoroughly illustrated book.
Hi Pete ... Illingworth and Sullivan take it this time.... you probably figured I would pick those two! On the tale end of my sixth children's book and just completed illustrations for a historical fiction book. Looking forward to seeing those in print next year. On to Christmas of which I hope you enjoy the holidays as well. Stay safe.
Hi John
I must admit Sullivan was a real revelation for me. Fantastic pen technique even if death-obsessed!
Glad to hear you're having success in the publishing world too. Have a good holiday.
@@petebeard Nothing major, but this year's Covid issue hasn't been too bad for me online.
I never knew it was Edmund J. Sullivan from which the Grateful Dead stole that 1966 image. Also, at 13:01, I find the gardener about to snip off the offending salute on the cover of Punch by Leslie Illingworth very humorous.
Hello and Mouse and Kelley were the worst offenders I think when it came to the piracy of others' images from the psychedelic poster era. Naughty.
Really appreciate this series. Thank you sincerely for all your efforts.
Hello to you and thanks for your support snd kind words. It's appreciated.
Thank you , excellent and informative as always
Maybe some are worth forgetting, Peter. But it important history. Thank you.
Hello and it's a great pity that illustration is harnessed to help the darker side of humanity. Personally I can't allow my revulsion to get in the way of admiration for the actual work. Not easy though.
Great video thanks
Terrific video, as usual.
Not sure if he qualifies as a pure illustrator, but have you covered English born artist Robert Fawcett ?
Very interesting style ...
Hi again and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Regarding Robert Fawcett he featured in unsung heroes 14.
I hope you'll take a look. More coming.
@@petebeard Thanks !
Edmund Sullivan. Another question answered. The artist responsible for one of the most iconic images used by the Grateful Dead. (~):)
Hello and it has to be said the late 60s were a period of immense graphic theft...
♥️
thanks so much
Thanks Pete. On par with your usual high standards.
Hi and thanks as ever.
Amazing!
Hello and thanks for that.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Top notch
Hello and thanks for the appreciation.
That aside about Tennyson .... ! ... and of course Illingworth is unforgettable for my generation
Hello and I too grew up with Illingworth's work. Carl Giles made a huge impression on me in the same time frame.
Giles - ubiquitous
Would you consider doing one on Jack Hamm?
Hello again. And thanks for the suggestion - I had never seen his work before. Unfortunately he was born too late to qualify for the unsung series. I had to limit my scope somewhere and it's to those born between 1850 and 1910. And more importantly there isn't enough decent resolution visual material available online. But never say never and I've made a note of his name and may well find an excuse to squeeze him in somewhere down the line.
