Illustrator News: Article About America's Cup Poster Painted By David Michael Beck

Cool article about a poster for the America's Cup David Michael Beck did a while ago in Cruising World.

Cool quote: "Beck spent a day in a chase boat on Lake Michigan taking pictures of the crew training on a borrowed yacht, and found the drama of tacking through blowing wheat. An original idea of a cove stripe pitchfork was changed to a wheat shaft."
