Avast! You Scurvy Scum!
18" x 18"
Acrylic on Masonite
2010

A commissioned piece based on, you guessed it, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride (but with a Bolly twist!) Even the title, which is a direct quote from the ride, harks back to those carefree days in "Walt's Playground". Closer inspection will give the true Disneyphile a treat of 6 Hidden Mickeys!!

Acrylic 40 x 30 Hours earlier, the Royal Navy lay in wait for what they saw as an opportunity for a timely ambush against the "Brethren of the Coast". This quiet cove on the Jamaican coast was the ideal place to catch the already heavy laden galleon as it slowly headed for some overdue spending in Old Port Royale. Much to their surprise, the ambush became their own demise. Hearing of the possible attack, the buccaneers loaded the long 9's and came from the opposite direction. With barely anything other than a warning shot across the bow, and the raising of a Jolly Roger, the Navy knew it would not be a formidable opponent. After less than an hour, they were proven correct. Already stripped of its cargo, arms, and crew, this band of scallywags decide to send a very loud "message to the queen"; straight down to Davy Jones, himself. Image 1 of 2
