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!

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.
