The latest caricature out of the Blackheart Art workshop is the Eurofighter’s Typhoon. The subject of this caricature is 17(R) Squadron, the RAF Test and Evaluation Sq. Back in 2010 they were at Nellis AFB for trials and also visited the Miramar Air Show where I had the opportunity to photograph them. I have the caricature in the following squadrons so far 3,6,11,29 squadrons. I will have a Luftwaffe and Spanish soon. All you Typhoon drivers prints are available. The German one will be the birds that smoked the F-22’s at Red Flag Alaska just a few months ago.

Just finished a new caricature and keeping with the Air Racing theme this racer is from the 50’s and raced in the Goodyear Trophy races. Entered in the 1951 race she was sideline with propeller hub issues. Here is how she appeared in 1955. The Loving Williams WR-1 racer, “Loving’s Love”. Unique in that to avoid the fixed gear hanging out they used an inverted gull wing to incorporate the gear into the wing. Something that today you can see on the F1 racer September Fate, who with a modern take used the same principle. I will have a version of Sept. Fate soon.
