Here is the final version of my “Angry Panther”

Here is the latest caricature from BHA the mighty F7F from Grumman. The Tigercat was a fast single seat fighter, then two seat night fighter versions that saw time in Korea. This caricature is a VMF-312 bird that was used for instrument training (reason for the strips) while based out of El Toro MCAS.

Okay here we have something completely different. From the Blackheart Art Archives, that special underground vault that holds all the images we have taken, found at garage sales and flea market tables, as well as the many reference pictures used to create all our caricatures, we present a rare find. Here is a photo of a Grumman F9F Panther, from VF-781, while deployed on the USS Bon Homme Richard, high over Korea searching for Migs. circa 1951

Was working on some Tomcat caricatures today and put this together. What do you think?

Here is my latest B-17 caricature, this time from the 486th BG, 832 BS.

While working on a new Tomcat caricature for a client, I thought I would play with a version of the usual Tomcat Sunset shot. Here is the Blackheart Art Sunset by Tomcat.

I also found JG-74’s 50th Anniversary paint scheme on one of their EF-2000 Typhoons. Pretty colorful tail markings. So I did a version with background and graphics. I even added a bit of texture to look like watercolor paper. Something slightly different.

Was working an a couple of versions of my Eurofighter caricature. Here is a German EF 2000 from JG-74 based at Nuerburg. They sent 8 Typhoons to Red Flag Alaska. During the work up they had a chance to play with the Raptors… and had a few kills during close in Air ACM. This Typhoon had 3 kill markings.
