Out of the earth's 6 billion people, we probably have 5.9 billion to go, but that's the goal. I'd like nothing better than to have 6 billion people talking and thinking about protecting our planet, and I see no reason to stop trying." --Wyland Muralists naturally think big. But Wyland-arguably the world's best-known marine painter, whose images span thousands of square feet of walls, canvases, and sculpted forms-makes an impact far beyond the art world. Wyland combines his incredible talents with those of a dedicated team of educators, scientists, and environmentalists to truly change the way we view the planet. Wyland: 25 Years at Sea opens the door to Wyland's fascinating world of art and its power to make a difference in the earth's future. Through its pages we experience the wonder of nature as seen through the eyes of this extraordinary artist, while deepening our understanding of the importance of our environment and all creatures that share it. Like an artist's palette, this book mixes Wyland's breathtaking work with a narrative that reveals the man's personal world and his commitment to the earth. Woven throughout the whales, sea turtles, and ocean waves is the absorbing story of how Wyland grew from his Detroit roots to become a successful fine artist to his mission today of delivering a lasting, worldwide message of concern, hope, and needed action.
Dive in... as Wyland, the world's leading environmental marine life artist, takes you on a captivating journey through his early days as a starving artist, his role in pioneering a bold new art movement & on a roller coaster tour of what may be the most ambitious project ever undertaken by a single artist. How did a son of Detroit auto workers break out of an industrial world to become a successful artist anyway? Why did he choose whales as his subjects? What has he seen in the countless dives that have placed him eye to eye with the largest & most mysterious creatures on earth? What's it like to stand on a scaffold 200 feet in the air & paint anatomically correct portraits of these majestic leviathans while awestruck citizens - both young & old - watch the sides of some of their most ordinary buildings transform right before their eyes into beautiful blue oceans teeming with colorful marine life? WHALE TALES answers these questions & much more through a series of Wyland's best stories - from both above & below the surface. Painting a ceiling in Japan on his back, creating the largest mural in the world, completing an entire whaling wall in the middle of the night, painting 17 murals, in 17 cities, in 17 weeks... each is a whale of a tale!

Born in 1942 & educated in the fine arts at the prestigious Art Students League in New York City, John Pitre evolved to become America's leading surrealist & social commentary painter, selling more prints world wide than any other artist. Pitre gained extraordinary popularity during the 60s & 70s painting daring themes, such as overpopulation, the threat of drugs, the potential of modern plagues & the ecological deterioration of our planet well before they became obvious problems of our times. His social commentary paintings are now considered twentieth century classics sought after by prominent collectors world wide. From his early days as an art student Pitre was fascinated with the most challenging & difficult of all the classical art forms to execute "Surrealism." With brush & oils as a vehicle he created powerful imagined worlds, evoking emotion & response in his viewers more so than any other medium. Utilizing this early foundation he also became a prolific inventor, holding patents in many fields. His thorough study of human anatomy in the arts gave him the insight to create some of the world's most advanced & respected exercise equipment. Other creations include devices for generating electricity from the movement of waves & currents of the sea, a more versatile paint for artists & an aircraft design that he has personally built & flown.
