Isaac the Pirate, by Christophe Blain, tells the ongoing story of an aspiring artist who is shanghaied days before his wedding. He is forced into service by a pirate captain who needs an illustrator to document his voyage around the world.

For any Illustration Friday visitor who also enjoys those Captain Jack Sparrow movies, this is a series of books that you have to read. The artwork is superb and the story will stir your passion for adventure AND artwork.
