The Art of Gregory Manchess

So even though I saw the Real Pirates exhibit back in 2011, I only recently learned the name of the artist who created the illustrations featured in it. His name is Gregory Manchess, and I thought you might enjoy browsing through some web sites featuring his art.
Now I know some folks didn't like the illustrations because they thought they weren't "realistic" enough, but I really liked a lot of them and I know there are folks out there who did, too.
So check out these web sites (and a video) and enjoy some more of the art of Gregory Manchess:
