Ahoy mates,
As many of you may or may not have noticed, history is climbing out of textbooks and right into headline news these days. Our imaginations are being challenged by local events as well as Hollywood renditions of seamen and Pirates. I find it very exciting. With February coming to an end I find myself working daily with some great people planning upcoming events as well as working on my own projects.
Trying to catch up to today’s fast moving technology, at the prodding of my techno-savvy friends & advisors, I now have a Blog. (Pyrate Pete’s Blog) So if you would like a sneak preview of my upcoming shows or events, this is the place to go. There is now on display a new work called “The Last Toast” featuring Captain Hiott of the Kalmar Nykel and Captain Glass of the American Rover, two men I most admire. The finished product is matted & framed, and now on display at the Pheobus Art Gallery. The work itself is 32” by 40”. This will be the center piece of The Pyrate Pete’s Piratical Art Show. Feel free to stop by and see it.
The Pyrate Pete’s Piratical Art Show is now in its 3 year. It will be at the Pheobus Art Gallery from 6-9pm on May 30th 2007. This is a one of a kind show and keeps getting bigger. We spilled out in to the street last year, so we may have to close the street this time around!
I’ll be highlighting new pieces of some good times with the crew of the Kalmar Nyckel, the tall ship of Delaware. I sorry to say the crew can’t make it to the show. Sharon, the bosun on the Nyckel told me: “We'll be sailing, and doing real piratical things Thur.” They’ll be bringing the ship in on Fri. at noon, so come to the show Thursday night, then go see the ship yourself on Saturday as she’ll be open to the public all day.
In addition to the pieces featuring the Kalmar Nyckel, there will be other great nautical pieces and many featuring faces you will recognize as having been seen during the festivals past, along with our own Blackbeard’s Crew who inspire me daily.
It may be hard to think of this old pirate as a wedding planner, but yes its true. My bride didn’t believe it either until we had been married ourselves in a pirate wedding planned by…yes-me. And while we were invited to attend the wedding of her niece out of state, I quickly found my services in demand as the bride to be and I re-planned just about everything within the last few days!
I am at work now on a very piratical wedding that will take place at the festival in June and will be open to the pubic to see.
All I’m going to say for now about the upcoming pirate festival the 1st weekend in June is that you don’t want to miss it.
