when I was a 16 I met him on an island in maine where I was doing the third day of my outward bound solo. He landed off longboats with twenty or so stoned half drunk semi fornicators. Soon, they were full drunks and complete fornicators.
They didn't have any food.

Which island, xenicon? I used to go up there in the summer.
Props to the Wyeth family.

I used to go up to Islesboro, right across from Camden. Wyeth had a small exhibit there.

I'm sort of Randish on wyeth brand. Spent huge amount of my imaginative boyhood with Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates illustr by NC Wyeth but then that Helga debacle really soured me. Jamie Wyeth is kind of interesting since he's up against so much.
Camden? a pearl.

my parents once went to a costume party dressed as Andrew and Betsy Wyeth. They thought it hilarious, as neither of them could stand Wyeth's work

pyle illustrated his book of pirates
wyeth was his student. I was wrong.

My drawing professor almost pummeled me for mentioning his name.
I adore the guy's work.

How can you hate Wyeth's work? Or any of the Wyeth's work for that matter?
Always thought this painting was bad ass:

It's Andrew I don't care for, not NC. And even Andrew I respect his technical prowess.
