UNSUNG HEROES OF ILLUSTRATION 100 & INDEX 1-100 HD

PLEASE READ THIS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Now that I've finally hit 100 instalments I have included an index of who is featured in each one at the end of the video.
My enduring thanks are due to the many subscribers who have been with the channel on a longterm basis, and if you are a regular viewer you would make an old man very happy if you too would subscribe.
I'm indulging myself with this one with 4 particular favourites of mine, all of whom are British, humorous and who most frequently worked in pen and ink.
G. L. Stampa, Leo Cheney, William Ridgewell and L. R. Brightwell
I'm off for a much needed holiday so don't be surprised if it takes me considerably longer than usual to reply to comments. And the next upload will also be a little delayed too.

I truly believe that, over time, these videos will be studied by thousands of aspiring artists. Although my youthful years passed quite awhile ago, each episode has been reinvigorating.

    Hello again Len, and that's a particularly flattering comment. But if youtube are to be believed when a channel has been inactive for two years they close it down. So I think that in all probability when I eventually fall off my perch that will be the fate of the channel. My plan, such as it is, is to encourage everyone to download the videos to their own computer when/if I hear the chap with the scythe knocking at the door. Did you see the video (unsung 95) featuring Charles Pears - maritime artist and illustrator? I was reminded of you and had a good ogle at your website. Most enjoyable it was too.

    Hi again, At the moment I'm just keeping an eye on developments. There is currently interest from a publisher about a series of books, but I'm not confident it will lead to anything concrete. I've also considered converting them to e-book/PDF format for download as a possibility. One way or another I'll at least attempt to keep the work alive. And I'm hoping that I won't be becoming RIP any time in the immediate future.

    Hello and thanks for your appreciation. There's no great mystery about finding the work, but you have to know what/who you are looking for first. The name/genre will almost invariably take you to images and text in various locations and you just have to follow the leads presented and keep on digging. I'm not sure a video about how I make them would appeal to many viewers, but I appreciate the interest, and if you want it I could give you a written 'snapshot' of the basics of what might laughingly be called my methods.

    Thank you Pete! Even if you won't continue (although I hope you will), this 100 videos make an outstanding contribution to the bank of human knowledge. The contribution no less valuable than that of many featured artists. Found Accrington on Yandex map. Have a nice time there! 😀

    Dave Sim the creator and artist of "Cerebus" has declared that after his death all his comic book art and characters will be voluntarily entered into the Public Domain. This is a brilliant way of immortalizing his works. So many long dead artists cannot be truly appreciated because their works are behind the "paywall" of copyright, and only available in rare antique or nearly antique books and publications.

    This series is not only for killing time. Quite the contrary actually, it's here to contribute to restoring Life. I've said it before and I will continue to again without effort and great ease; this is a service to improved mental health that is of immeasurable value. As a lifelong student of truth life can become pretty grim at times. To keep the balance I make a conscious effort to seek out Things That Bring Me Joy and this was scooted to the top of my list the moment I discovered it. Thank you Mr Pete Beard for the astronomical efforts you put into bringing this important service to all of us who are lucky enough to understand its great value. Words fail to express my true appreciation!!

    Congratulations on you first 100 episodes and I, like everyone else, am looking forward to your next 100. As for you recharging your batteries I have to say that is perfectly understandable. You cannot just throw together something of this quality. I loved all of the illustrations in this episode, particularly those of G.L. Stampa. The one of the lady taking up all the space with her dogs reminded me of something I came across several years ago of a wealth 19th century landowner, whose name I have unfortunately forgotten. He had a large number of dog of various breeds and when he travelled by train would would pay for an entire coach to which the dogs had free rein. It made me wonder if Stampa knew about this and used it in this illustration. Worst job on the railway? Having to clean that coach afterwards.
