I’m here to share one of my greatest passions: ships!
I´m more interested in old ships like vessels, those which made history or sailed to the adventure towards destinations unknown, without the security of modern technologies.
The project I wish to realize is about an ebook/artbook with detailed illustrations of ships from every where and every time.
More precisely, I would like to concentrate my efforts on those ships which had a remarkable importance in the history of navigation.
And…Here I am, excited by the idea of making this opera and aware of the fact I need to find some founds first.
All your help will be more than welcome and I hope you will appreciate the rewards.
About the ebook
The book will be divided in two parts:
– A reading part that will include information and technical data;
– An art book with images and fine illustrations made by some talented artists which will depict the most significative historical moments regard a particular ship.
Eg.:
– The adventure of Sir Francis Drake`s Golden Hind around the globe.
– Colombo’s Santa María and the discovery of a new world.
There are lots of people with the same passion, so will be beautiful realize it in a way that each image can be easely print and hanged in a house or office.
If the project goes well, I can think to publish it in a large format and high definition. I´m sure many people will prefer a paper version of the artbook.
I´m not so interested in incredibly artistic pictures, the style of the pictures will be simple and interesting.
About the artists
It`s good to confess that even if drawing is a hobby I wish to cultivate, I`ll not make the images for this book (but I really wish to create a little work to publish)…
The project will be commissioned to some talented artists that will make this book a real jewel.
The main star will be Diana B. wich is an Ukrainian-Italian trained Graphic Designer and Book Artist with over 10 years experience between Russia and Europe in the publishing industry.
She made lots of illustrations, drawing, layout, design of a cover, cover binding, the publication of limited edition and is the perfect choice for this work.
We are studying hard to create the best historical representation of this marvel of the seas, portray them like no one ever did before.
We are thinking to contact the most important naval museums of the world to ask their contribution (not only information but exclusive photos and of course exclusive interviews).
Only 3-5 dollars or pounds are really a little sum but can really give a great contribution to our project.
And I’ll update the page in kickstarter to inform everybody about the progresses we are making thanks to you.
We want to realize a book of a certain relevance here, let’s do it together!
Thank you!
