What In The World Is The Portsmouth Aeroshipbuilding Co.?
Where art, history and the imagination COLLIDE!
It’s the 1940’s: What if your grandparents or great grandparents had technology ahead of its time, allowing them to build gravity-defying battleships and vessels to fight for freedom during World War II?
Welcome to the World of The Portsmouth Aeroshipbuilding Co!
I'm Tony Snipes: Artist, Veteran, Fan of History and Time Traveler! Day-to-Day life can get stressful! People have always turned to entertainment as a way to step away from the hectic world, even for just a moment. Whether it’s a 2 hour movie or an illustration they explore for 2 minutes. With that in mind, each week I create illustrated content that allows people to escape the mundane…one image at a time!
In 2017 I launched a series of illustrations on social media that paid tribute to the shipbuilding legacy of my hometown of Portsmouth, VA. I call it The Portsmouth Aeroshipbuilding Co., a retrofuturistic version of my hometown's shipyard! The series lives on Facebook and has grown to 4,000 subscribers.
