Just finished a new art work. This time a 3/4 view King Air. The caricature was made for a patch design but I added a sky background and made this art print. I think it came out pretty good. Let me know wht you think.

In honor of the Marine Corps aviation centennial I put together this print of VMF(AW) 121 “Green Knights” aircraft. Joe Foss flew with VMF-121 on Guadalcanal in 1942, 70 years ago and this print shows his Wildcat and a “Green Knight” F-18 from today painted in the same colors. Grab on of these prints while they last. Semper Fi!

Back to air racing caricatures again. This time a hard luck purpose built racer that was very unique. Powered by Nissan automotive engines, this twin engine, twin boom racer never really did well and had quit a few teathing problems in the three years she raced. Best qualifying speed was 400.010 mph and best race finish was second in bronze heat. Unfortulately she was lost with her pilot in ’93’ if I am not mistaken. Still loved her unique look and the hope of future homebuilt racers invigorating the sport.

While I was at it, I also did another Mig killer, this one from VF-114 the Aardvarks. May 6th 1972 found this F-4J on a BARCAP mission take down a Mig-21. One of two Migs downed by VF-114 this day. I have always liked the VF-114 markings and wanted to do their F-14 for years. Maybe soon but for now this Phantom will have to do.

Wanted to try something differnt so for the first time I added landing gear to one of caricature profiles. The F-4 Phantom was the prefect choice. Here is the VMFA-333 Mig killing Phantom, this time with gear down and at rest. Let me know what you think.

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.
