Now that I have done a regular side profile, I had to add one of my caricatures along side to compare. Here are two versions of the P-51D ‘Dolly/Spam Can’ from the Planes OF Fame Air Museum.

Okay with all the caricatures I do I thought it might be time to try a regular proportioned side profile. So here you go. A P-51D Mustang from the Planes Of Fame Air Museum in Chino CA. Their work horse Mustang has been Spam Can for years. I was lucky enough to have a ride in this fine bird. Now she is painted to represent the Pacific Theater where she actually flew. The Museum has painted her as the mount of Capt. John J Grant’s “Dolly” with Spam Can retained on the right side. Hope you like this regular side profile.

Just finished this sweet F-4F for a customer in Germany. Packaged and sent out today. Rather fun paint scheme to paint.

While working on a few commissions for clients I thought I would create a “possible Paint scheme” for VMFA-121 Green Knights when they start flying the F-35B. VMFA-121 is scheduled to be the first operation squadron to field the F-35B, and will be based at MCAS Yuma. I think the CO’s bird would look cool with these markings. What do you think.

Okay here is a new Eurofighter caricature…. this time a 3 Squadron aircraft sporting their 100 year anniversary scheme.

In honor of the Marines, Birthday here is a commission I did earlier this year. Happy Bithday USMC Semper Fi!

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
