Marc Davis’ Pirates – 1
Marc Davis illustrated a “Pirates of the Caribbean” souvenir paperback book for Disneyland. Bill Peckmann, naturally, saved his copy of the book and has forwarded these illustrations from the book. I’m a fan of Davis’ work, so love sharing them with you.
Davis did quite a few illustrations for this ride and others of them can be found here and here.
More thanks to Bill Peckmann.

I saved this souvenir book as well! Davis helped design The Jungle Cruise, The Haunted Mansion…. and many other rides.

These are incredible, thanks for sharing Michael. That rooster looks like Davis’ Chanticleer design. I have a copy of the ’91 book I’ve been wanted to post, but I fear I’ll get in trouble again if I do. Maybe you should post the illustrations!

These are incredible illustrations. These should definitely help inspire me to become a better artist. I want to reach his level of skill and creativity. Thank you Mr. Sporn and Bill Peckmann for these. I can’t wait for the next installment.
