Cover of Pirate Tales book featuring an engraving style illustration of a pirate holding a musket with a parrot on his shoulder.A literary anthology from Taschen Books that tells the stories of pirates like Long John Silver, Henry Morgan, and others from piracy’s Golden Age. It includes tales from Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe and The Mysterious Island. The book is filled with artwork by classic illustrators like N. C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle and Frank Schoonover.

I was pleased to get the opportunity to add my work to the cover, endpapers and chapter divider pages.

You can find it at Taschen Books.
