Geoff
Hunt: Portrait of a Marine Artist
(DVD/VHS Edition) Price $29.95 This visually stunning documentary offers rare insight into the brilliant artist who painted all twenty-one covers for Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels. This is not your typical documentary. SEA~TV was given total access to Geoff's art and his studio to record everything from his creative process to his painting technique. This production offers rare insight into the workings of a world class artist and his association with Patrick O'Brian. Geoff Hunt's engaging personality puts the viewer on a personal level with the artist as he tells how he first heard about Patrick O'Brian to how he was chosen to be the artist honored with painting all of the classic book covers. He chronicles his evolution from a book cover illustrator to become one of the top marine fine artists in the world today. While we are certain this documentary will thrill the millions of O'Brian readers, we also expect to attract an entirely new audience to art, history and the literature of the Age of Sail and the Napoleonic wars. This is a high quality production that is visually appealing and informative while fascinating enough to make you want to see more. |

Geoff Hunt:
Painting in the Studio (DVD/VHS Edition) Price $19.95 During production of the documentary, Geoff Hunt: Portrait of a Marine Artist, SEA~TV was allowed full access to Hunt's studio. During two days of the production Geoff allowed a rare, candid shoot of his work in progress. Geoff was beginning the sketch for a painting, which would ultimately be titled First Shots. It depicts the first cannon shots fired at Lord Nelson's ship, Victory, as it approached the famous Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. In Geoff Hunt: Painting in the Studio, we join Geoff as he is sketching and then he goes on to begin painting the ship, the sails, the sky and the sea. He describes his technique and explains how he builds a painting and achieves the accuracy and detail. Then we see him six months later at work on the final painting. This video also contains commentary from marine art expert and gallery owner, J. Russell Jinishian. It is a rare chance to watch a world-class artist create a painting in its crucial formative stages and see how it emerges into the final painting. Informative, excellent for artists and aspiring artists. |

During this adventure, which is featured in his book The Improbable Voyage. Tristan is in the process of a highly difficult voyage eastward around the world aboard his 40 foot trimaran, Outward Leg.Tristan, having had one leg amputated, undertook the voyage to inspire other disabled people, thus the name of his boat. Tristan saw the vulnerability of Communism during this voyage and predicted the fall of the Communist leaders and the triumph of democracy long before most Westerners ever realized that it might possibly happen. He also experienced the dangers of sailing in such a region when the Czech harbor police set-up a collision that nearly sank Outward Leg. You are it given a rare glimpse into the life of the author who wrote eighteen books and numerous magazine articles on sailing and his often-controversial adventures. Tristan was an immensely inspiring writer and speaker. His books are inspiring, well-written and worth reading today.

He loved a live audience, loved to make them laugh, and he held them in the palm of his hand. This is one of his great in-person performances. Contains rare photos plus rare footage of Tristan sailing Outward Leg. |
