THE VISIONARY FANTASY ART OF CARLOS SCHWABE HD 

Hello again and thanks for the positive comment. Its greatly appreciated.

👁♥️👁

Hello and it's a genuine pleasure to be able to introduce talents such as Schwabe to so many viewers. I used to think I knew about a lot of illustrators but I now realise it was the tip of a gigantic iceberg.

Hello and thanks for the comment. I love the idea of attentive viewers, after my experiences trying to get students to stay awake.

@@petebeard - I could understand your students' problem - your voice is so pleasant and soothing that it could be used on sleep aid tapes

@@donjohnson24 Hello and I'm not sure whether to be insulted or flattered about that...

Hi again and thanks as usual for your positive reaction to the video. I've only been aware of his work for about a year but what a remarkable talent (even if not my usual taste). And dont get over-ecxited about my 'library'. Most of it - admittedly not all - is downloaded from the various digital archives that exist, thanks to the wonders of the internet.

PS Ms Brundage has featured in my women in illustration video and will also be prominent in my pulp magazine illustration video, when I finally get the damn thing finished. Gloriously weird.

Hello and thanks fr the comment. He was certainly a man of contradictions.

Hello and I'm glad you like it. He was quite a remarkable talent.

Hi again and I'm glad to see that Mr. Schwabe has been a welcome discovery to you and others (including me). Its hard to imagine how he could be so poorly remembered.

Hello and I'm glad you think so. Thanks for the appreciation.

Hello and no sign of running out of material yet.

Hello and I'm very grateful for your kind remarks and support for the channel. Hopefully there will be many more videos before I stop.

Hello and it seems that most viewers hadnt come across him before and it sounds like they are glad they have. I hope you are well.

@@petebeard thanks, Pete, bit topsy turvy...but in the finest tradition of plodding on...

Hello again and thnks as usual for your comments and insights about the video. I must say I hate having to guess about how images were created. In my experience the medium really is the message.

Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of the video - and Schwabe's immense talent.

Hello and pardon my blushes (not seemly in an old man). Seriously, thanks a lot for your continued support and appreciation.

Hello and thanks for the appreciation.

Hello and thanks a lot for your comment. He certainly deserves to be better known.

Hello and your comment is music to my ears. Its great to know that you and other viewers are glad to discover hthese remarkable almost forgotten talents.

Hi again and thanks a lot for your comment, and good wishes. And the same to you of course.

Hello and thanks a lot for your comment. I'm rather hoping that long after I've caught the bus to oblivion the channel will keep going as a resource.

Hello and thanks for the comment.

Hello and thanks for your comment. I was hopeful that he would be a pleasant surprise to most viewers and it seems he is.

Hello and thanks for your comment. I'm pleased his work is having such an impact.

Hello and your appreciation is very welcome.

Hello and thanks again for your comment. He was certainly a complex and contradictory talent

Hello again and thanks a lot for your apprciation of this video. It's understandable why they called it the 'golden age'.

Hello and I'm very pleased you found the channel. Thanks for the subscription and I hope you'll find plenty more that's of interest to you.

Hello and I'm glad to say Mr. Schwabe seems to have made a strong favourable impression on many viewers - and me of course.

Hello and many thaks for your appreciation of the video and the channel - and Schwabe's remarkable talent.

Hello and thanks for the appreciation - in both cases.

Hi and thanks as ever. The video seems to be performing pretty well, I'm glad to say.

Hello and thanks for your favourable comment. I'm pleased you appreciate his work.

Hello and me too - although I only recently discovered Schwabe's work.

Hello again, and many thanks for your appreciation of this video. Why Schwabe isn't better known I have no idea, but I hope the video goes at least some way to remedy that. Your support is greatly valued.

Hello and I'm glad you think so. Thanks a lot for your appreciation.

Hello and thanks for the comment.

Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of the channel. It's great to know that at least to some extent I'm succeeding in my mission.

Hello and that mix of romance and menace certainly keeps the viewer on their toes. I seem to be happy to embrace both aspects.

Hello and many thanks for your enthusiastic response. I must admit I absolutely love it when viewers tell me they are discovering an illustrator whose work they really like for the first time because of the channel.

@petebeard Absolutely,Ur Welcome! I can tell u have an affinity for the Arts! I myself practice the art of illustration & ur channel is huge source of inspiration for me!..(when I have the chance to come across ur videos) that being stated I have no idea why I haven't subscribed way before now!? Lol..but I just did!! & I look for to the next gem of art & artist u present! Btw I Really loved the "Eranesto Carbaral" one u did!! He's one the last great illustrator I had the chance to come across by way of an off print magazine that had a feature of his work & fel in luv with it from 1st site!..but unfortunately I haven't been able to find much since that magazine 😢..so I wonder if u can with some the videos u produce can u also provide some sources on how to find the Artist Work in future features!???..(if it's not to out the way for u!?) I know the videos u do must take a grat deal research & effort on ur part!)..But Again it's Greatly Appreciated God bless & God speed Good Sir!🙏🏼👏🏼💥💯💯

@petebeard actually I was subscribed but wasn't get the notifications..so i made sure to hit the Bell this time👍🏼

Hello and thanks for your comment. I'm glad to say Schwabe has come as a pleasant surprise to many viewers - and me.

Hello and your appreciation is very welcome. Thanks a lot.

Hello and thanks for your appreciation. Schwabe was a real revelation to me.

Hello again and I'm very pleased you appreciate his remarkable work. He's far too unknown considering his immense talent.

Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. Always welcome.

Hello and my thanks as usual for your appreciation. I'm gad to say this illustrator has gone down particularly well with viewers of the channel.

Hello and thanks for the comment. His work has been a revelation to me - and many others it seems.

Hello and thanks a lot for your favourable comment. I must say I've been really pleased with the generally positive response to Schwabe's work

@@petebeard 👍✌️🙏

Hello and thanks a lot for your comment. I hope you find more of interest on the channel.

Hello and thanks for your comment. I'm glad that you - and it seems quite a few other viewers - are glad to have found out about the work of this amazing talent.

@@petebeard So glad you found him and shared!

Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of this video. And I'm envious that you have seen the actual painting.

Hello and many thanks for your appreciation. This one seems to have made a paricularly strong impression, I'm glad to say.

Hello and my thanks as usual for your appreciation and favourable comment.

Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of this video.

Hello and thanks for your appreciation.

@@petebeard Ian artist myself and because of Your uploads Ian discovering gems. Thank You.

You can say that again. I was blown away when I first saw his work.

Hello again and thanks for your comment. I do my best with the music and got lucky with this one, but copyright frequently scuppers my plans so I end up with more generic non-copyrighted music a lot of the time. Some of it is surprisingly agreeable though.

Hello and you are more than welcome.

Hello and thanks for the comment. The music is from Les Gnossienes by Erik Satie. It is credited but only at the very end so it's easy to miss.

Hello and thanks a lot for the comment. And yes the similarity of name is unfortunate.

Hello and thanks for the positive respinse to the channel. I intend to keep making them as long as you'll keep watching them.

Hello, and thats a question many (including me) have been asking themselves. I only found him completely by accident. God bless the internet.

Hello and thanks for the appreciation.

Hello and thanks for the comment and apprciation. Light or dark - both appeal to me.

Hello and thanks as usual. It's always a good feeling to know that these rather overlooked talents are finding new admirers.

Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciative comment about this video.

Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciative comment about this video.

Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation.

Hi again and thanks for the comment. I'll have to take a look at Alcala's work so thanks for the name.

Hello and thanks a lot for the comment. It seems that many viewers were also unaware of his awesome talent. And so was I until only recently.

Hello and your comment is music to my ears. Thanks.

Hello and I'm gad you enjoyed the video. Sxhwabe deserves to be much better known.

Hello and thanks for the comment and appreciation. He was certainly all the above and possibly more as well.

Hello and thanks for the comment. Unfortunately there are many others such as Schwabe who get virtually no attention or biographical record. I just count my blessings that the work itself can be found.

Hello and thanks a lot. It does seem that the solo videos fare considerably better in terms of views than the unsung heroes series. No idea why so I'll just keep making them all.

@@petebeard I love the Unsung Heroes series, too 🙏

Hello and I'm pleased to have introduced you and quite a few other viewers to this almost forgotten illustrator.

Hello and thanks a lot for your positive response to the video.

Hello and thanks for the favourable comment.

Hello and many thabks for your appreciation of this neglected illustrator. And I also sometimes speculate what certain classics might have looked like if a particular illustrator had tackled them.

Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of this video, and the channel in general. I must admit Schwabe was a total revelation to me when I happened upon it while looking for something else entirely. And many thanks for pointing me in the direction of Austin Osman Spare - somebody else I'd never come across. I'll investigate and see how much information and visual material I can gather. A video about Virgil Finlay is almost complete, and I've been working (intermittently) on a video about the history of science fiction illustration, and those you mention and others will of course be included. But don't hold your breath - there are a long line of other videos before it in the queue. Fingers crossed I don't fall off my perch just yet...

Hello and thanks for your comment. I think your animation is remarkably skilful and enjoyable. And I'm not even a fan of anime...

Hi and thanks a lot for the comment.

Hello and new to many it seems. Quite a discovery.

Hello and thanks for the comment. And a nice encapsulation of the qualities of his work.

Hello again and my thanks as ever.

Hallo und vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar und Einblick. Es überrascht mich immer wieder, wie viele dieser Illustratoren so in Vergessenheit geraten sind. Kritiker und Historiker haben viel zu verantworten.

Hello and I'm very pleased to have brought this neglected to talent to so many viewers' attention. As you rightly say the resonances and influences shoot back and forth, and having looked at Barry Windsor Smith's work I see exactly what you mean.

Hi again and I'm glad you found his work of interest. Why he is such a well kept secret I have no idea. And further to my grim northwest remark its true that that the Lake District has its charms despite all the rain, and so do rural parts of Cheshire but I'm looking out of my window in Manchester, which is made up entirely of different shades of grey.

@@petebeard I only know Manchester from passing through on my way to Leeds (performances at the Medieval Congress, long story). At that time we were told that we couldn't put anything in lockers. Those were the days. I must say that northern England does have its charms. York is amazing. I hope to see it again someday. cheers from also-not-so-bad Vienna, Scott

Hello and I'm glad you enjoyed his work. What a talent.

Hello and thanks for the appreciation. I'd really like to see some of his originals but I'm pretty sure there's nothing at all on show in the UK.

@@petebeard Sadly I think you are right there. His work reminded me of Gustav Dore's and a milder Wayne Barlowe

@@Thunderpuddle Sorry to take so long replying - but I must thank you for the name Wayne Barlow, a name completely new to me and having just googled his work I think he'll keep me out of mischief for a while.

@@petebeard No problem. His Hell series is amazing, to be honest. I have a few other favourites, wonder if you have heard of them? Rodney Matthews (album artist, friend of Michael Moorcock and highly recommend his Alice in Wonderland) and Graham Oakley (especially his book Henry's Quest- a British Mad Max meets classic Fairy Tale. He also did the Church Mice series). Chris Riddell, and Brian Froud. Great channel by the way, now a subscriber.

@@Thunderpuddle Hello again and thanks for the names. Surprisingly - to me at least - I actually do know (& like) them with the exception of Graham Oakley, who I will also check out. Thanks again.

Hello and many thanks for your appreciation. I'm glad to say this one seems to be quite popular.

Thanks. I'm very pleased you enjoyed his undervalued work.

@@petebeard Very much so.
