The Pirates

Tom Banwell is an incredibly talented artist who has created some of the best retro-futurist artwork and artifacts I've ever seen. Beyond that, he's consistently provided in-depth looks at the creation of his work that are filled with advice and detailed descriptions of his techniques. That willingness to share is one of the reasons I have such an immense amount of respect for the man.

Sadly, he's also been ripped off by the Norwegian oil company Det Norske.

You can read about the sad hijacking of his art, along with the work of other artists, over here at the Art Theft blog.
