Hello and my personal jury is out on Wolverton. There's something vaguely unpleasant about his style and he wasn't the best draughtsman, but there is something compelling and fascinating about the work too.

What a great episode! I loved learning about these four illustrators. Tom Purvis ability to variety his style amazes me and Basil Wolverton gives me Robert Crumb vibes, and he had that style way before the 60's!

Wolverton is still a very influential artist here in America. Many artists with a bent toward the comically grotesque or just an impishly anti-authority mindset draw inspiration from his work, even if they couldn't name him. Even big names like Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton owe him a lot.

Hello and thanks as usual for the appreciation and comment. It seems that smoking was virtually compulsory for the working classes (who made up most of the millions killed) at that time. How times change. And Wolverton - love him or hate him - is one of the strangest discoveries for me in the making of the series. Funnily enough my first business venture dissolved because my partner joined Armstrong's army. And he wouldn't shut up about the end times coming.

These are all so good. Jordaan tho...dark poetry indeed. The Pied Piper of Death remains as heart-wrenching now as then. His versatility, yes, simply remarkable, tho I have to say the stippling may have saved his skin as, to me, it has a softening effect, as well as substance/solidity, to the horrors these illustrations portray. Not to make less of the heinousness, the contrast of terror is made all the more subtle and sublime to the initiated - perhaps making them less troubling to view, so even more memorable? Yet to psycho warmongers, easily dismissed as fluffy and so he was spared? I've been thinking about this since you posted, how these 'softly, softly' scenes are so effective. One more comment, on Tom Purvis, his later switching to artistry worked brilliantly for him (not always the case). Is it a self-portrait, do you know? And the medium? It appears pastel but could be oil? Either way, it's very lovely. Thank you for these, as always.

And I'm nor sure whether you mean the research or the technical, but there's no great mystique to either. I do have an accumulation of books and knowledge from a lifetime's passion about the subject but most of the illustrators in the unsung series are from the internet. If I search for an illustrator or type of illustration I do know it invariably leads me down an interconnected rabbit hole of others I didn't know so I just follow the leads. Technically it's Affinity Photo (dirt cheap) to crop and enhance images, Garageband (free) for voice and music, and iMovie (also free) to make and edit the actual video.

Hello and many thanks for the Illingworth information. I had never heard of him or seen the work before and I'm always pleased to see new stuff. But the bad news (depending on your point of view) is that it seems he was born in 1953 and is still among us. The unsung series only features those who have left the stage so to speak, and the latest any of them was born is 1910. Nevertheless I'm better for having seen the work so thanks again.

Dear Sir I am currently trying to catch up with your most magnificent series of unsung heroes illustrators, but am still at the beginnings of 2019. We are all (sadly but conveniently) a little accostumed to do research via the internet, but i wonder if, in a theme as specialist as early illustration, this method would provide for such hefty results. I presume, given your evident knowledge on the theme and its techniques, that you are yourself an artist or art professor, and so, would like very much to see own your work. I just found the Muddy Colours site, but am still perusing about. As a curiosity, at my parents home there are two illustrators books which seem as a little odd to their art predilections, one by Wilhelm Busch (the two volume Wilhelm Busch Samtlich Werke) and another by Heinrich Kley, featured in one of your previous videos (more like lectures to me). And, as they are in German, i wonder if they were gifts... As a simple admirer of this kind of art, i am only familiar with better known illustrators, such as Rackham or Mucha, so i much appreciate your videos. Thanks for your brilliant work!
