Scallywags and Pirates are all well and good, but let's be realistic. They aren't your buddies, in fact they probably think it would be cute to use your skull for a bowl. You know what happens to Pirates? They get eaten by bears.


The real heroes of the ocean are the Sea Captains. These stoic, grumpy and often romantic stallions of the blue beyond will oil their muskets with nary a warning. They have the obvious advantage of both legs and most of their digits. If that wasn't enough for you bolweevils, they boast a profound command of the drinking of Gin.

The only thing better is the sea monster. Not the kind that uses your vessel for a toothpick, the kind that carries you to school and takes back your milk money.


Juan F. Leguizamon gets it. His fun, clever style is enough to convert any land-locked unbeliever to parish of the sea. Check out his epic nautical series on the Behance network. Or take a look at Juan's website for more illustration & design by this talented artist.
