A Year in Projects: CHARLES W. MORGAN LAUNCH


On Labor Day weekend my joint show, with the Dalvero Academy, at the Mystic Seaport came to an end.  The theme was about the history of Mystic and the restoration of the Charles W. Morgan (the last surviving whaling ship). The show had been up for over a year. It was honor to share a show with so many incredible artists and to be part of the seaport’s exhibits.


Watching the ship transform and be rebuilt was an amazing process to see witness. In July, the restoration reached the point where the Morgan could be launched back into the water. Dalvero was invited to witness and draw the event in the VIP section. Here are some drawings from that day.

There is some impressive facial hair being rocked at Mystic.
