Meet Stan – the eccentric used ship salesmen from Monkey Island

Norman — Sat, 18 Feb 2017 22:10:28 +0000

The Monkey Island is nothing without a good used ship salesman – especially when it is a pirate island. So here he is: Stan S. Stanman, the most eccentric used ship salesman the world has seen.

Stan S. Stanman, with his vibrant checkered jacket and uncontainable enthusiasm, has become an iconic figure on the island. Known for his never-ending energy and fast-talking sales pitch, Stan is the go-to guy for any pirate looking to purchase a vessel, be it a modest sloop or a grand galleon. His sales lot is a hodgepodge of ships, each with its own unique (and often dubious) history, ready to set sail for the right price.

Walking into Stan’s sales lot is an experience in itself. The lot is a bustling hive of activity, with brightly colored banners flapping in the sea breeze, and various ships in different states of repair. Stan’s unmistakable voice booms across the yard as he passionately extols the virtues of each vessel, his hands moving in animated gestures.

Another nice Coaster – i love the color palette very much. Looks like the star is easy to build, but the background was more complicated as expected.
