Christopher Blossom

Christopher Blossom Biography:
When a child has a father and grandfather who are both well known illustrators, it is likely the offspring will also become an artist. And when a boy starts to sail at the age of six, it is also likely that the artist might choose the sea and sailing ships as his subject. Such was the case for Christopher Blossom, who, by the time he left the Parsons School of Design and Robert Bourke's Design Studio, could visualize a finished boat from only its plans-and draw the craft from any angle. Before Blossom was twenty, he had sailed under square rig aboard the brigantine Young America. Known for his complex, detailed art, prints and posters of ships at sea, Blossom combines his appreciation for the beauty and the menace of the sea with his love of maritime history and ship construction.  >>click here for more
