With the Planes of Fame annual air show just a few weeks away, I put together a special print that I will have available only at the show. This years theme is 1942 Striking Back. To that end I combined my B-25 Doolittle Raider, my F4F Wildcat , and a P-39.

My latest caricature is the USAF version of the JSF F-35A Lightning II. I know there are those out there that don’t like or think the new fighter is never going to pan out, but for all those who are trying to get this new weapon up to speed and into production, The pilots and maintainers this is a tip of the hat to your hard work.

Back to doing a few Air racers, this time a Sport Class champion and record setter. The Nemisis NXT of John Sharp. This hombuilt racer qualified for the 2009 Sport class races with a speed of 412.554! This would have put this fast bird in the unlimited field if rules allowed. These type of aircraft might be the future of air racing some day.

Okay for all you Rec guys out there here is the mighty North American RA-5C Vigilante. This one from RVAH-11 the Checkertails, while deployed to USS Forrestal. Hope you like it. Prints are available…. hint hint hint.

Here is another new caricature just completed for a client. This time a 737-200, that flew with PSA airlines back in the late 60’s. All you vintage airline lovers out there should jump at the chance to own this wonderful print.

Just finished up another caricature. This time French Mirage 2000C. This particular bird was part of the first gulf war in 91. I broke my traditional plain white background and added a map of Iraq behind the Mirage, thought it might be fun.

Here is the latest caricature I just finished for a client. This one a A-4 Skyhawk from VMA-121 1968 Vietnam. The gentleman flew 316 missions in the Scooter. Semper Fi.

Here is my latest and a bit of a departure from the normal side views. I put this together for some guys with the training squadrons. This is the USMC version of the F-35B and VMFAT-501 Warlords. I incorperated new and old on the tail colors the lightning bolt for the F35 and the stars from VMFA-451 Warlords who became VMFAT-501. They wanted the bird loaded down and ready to go hunting…. so you get this fully loaded with 2 AIM 9x, two GBU, two Rockeyes and one Gun pod. That will certainly help with that stealth look don’t you think?

While working on a new angle off caricature of the new F-35 I put togethert this side profile of the F-35B that was just delivered to the USMC at Eglin AFB in January. Interesting bird to say the least. Will it ever reach it’s touted greatness….. will see. I can say this, the lessons of past air combat seem to have been forgotten…… another bird without interal gun. Especially for a ground attack Marine bird…..Stealth… but needs pods and externals to fight. ????
