This piece was rendered by the very talented artist Alan M. Clark for exclusive use by "Haunted Memories Changing
Portraits." Normally we feature antique photographs that turn scary, but since there were no cameras around during
the pirate era it did not make sense to have use a photo-based image. So I contacted Alan and he created this
macabre masterpiece, adding in all kinds of clever details. We are very proud to showcase his work and it is
sure to increase in value over the years.
"Stage One" shows this dastardly rogue proudly displaying his
plundered gold in the tavern as he clutches a pint of ale.
With one eye blind and a wicked scar across his cheek, he appears quite formidable indeed! Unfortunately for him,
he must have boasted too loudly about his fortunes, for the final stage
shows him as a skeleton impaled with a cutlass through his back and bullet holes in the wall behind him. The ale mug is cracked and empty and his clothes are
torn and frayed, undoubtedly
chewed by the rats which have taken the place of his stolen dubloons.
The back wall has deteriorated with time and red-eyed cats are shown peeking through at this desolate scene. The piece is
aptly titled "Tell No Tales" - a warning to those who boast of their riches.
This piece is LIMITED to 500 of the 18" x 24" version.
It will make a wonderful gift
Get yours while you can, as this is sure to sell out!
(Note: This video clip was taken in less-than-ideal lighting conditions that washed out the colors.
I guarantee you that the colors are rich and vibrant in person).
for Pirate collectors and fans of the "Pirates of the
Caribbean" films!
(Please note: An 18" x 24" frame is NOT included! All of my portraits are sold UNFRAMED only!)
