Biography[]
Pirates of the Caribbean[]
James Carson first worked as one of the illustrators on the back-to-back production of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.[1][2] For Dead Man's Chest, Carson made several art pieces for Port Royal, Cannibal Island, Davy Jones' smoking pipe, the Dead Man's Chest, the key to the Dead Man's Chest, Tia Dalma's shack and Pantano River, the cursed Flying Dutchman, and Davy Jones and Calypso's Locket.[3][4] For At World's End, Carson made art for the Execution Fort, Singapore, the Maelstrom battle, and the un-cursed "clean" Flying Dutchman.[5][6]
Carson later worked on Dead Men Tell No Tales/Salazar's Revenge, albeit uncredited. His drawings and illustrations include a litho of Poseidon holding his Trident, Davy Jones, the Flying Dutchman, the Calendar dating the return of his father Will Turner, as well as various sea monsters and sea serpents.[7][8] In the final version of the film, Carson's work appeared as the drawings seen with Henry Turner (12 Yrs Old) (Lewis McGowan) in the opening scene.[9]
