Adventure was one thing, going to far-flung places for art another, drawing on the infamous mutineer, Fletcher Christian, another. Art was the under-tow and main driver for the trip to Pitcairn Island, one of the remotest Islands on earth. This resulted in the creation of the ground-breaking image of Fletcher Christian - in 1994 a world first. Once there, I knew beyond doubt that I would create a drawing of the infamous 18th Century mutineer, Fletcher Christian. An accompanying sister book, ' To Pitcairn Island, (and Back Again)', is available and focuses on the trip to Fletcher Christian's 18th century hideaway island, Pitcairn, whereas this book is about drawing on a human figure and specifically the romantic anti-hero, Fletcher Christian.. Travelling to Pitcairn was part of the scope to complete a totally unique, authentic, world exclusive project, to sail in the footsteps of the 18th century mutineer, through the South Seas to his ultimate remote destination, to learn his ways and guess at his thoughts - his looks. I was grateful to the distant Island community who became friends, who showed me a great welcome, hospitality, and generosity of spirit. I hope you glean something here and that may inspire your art, travels, and endeavours and that you enjoy this book, Jerry Gordon
