New art added

Posted on by

Hey all,

Sorry it has been awhile since the last post. I will endeavor to post more updates in the future. Please feel free to check out the galleries and I have added some new art works. I finished up there versions of the 747 cargo for a client. All three in UPS colors. &47-4F, 747-4 passenger conversion cargo, and the newest 747 the mighty 747-8F. I also completed a new airline caricature, the ERJ-175. This one is of a personal nature, as it is the aircraft my nephew flew for the first time as First Officer with Compass Air Lines. Way to go Jon.

I added several art works the caricature at section. These are caricatures with backgrounds. I sometime put these together for special occasions, like Memorial day. Please check out this years special prints.

I also added a few commissions like a KC-135 out of March AFB, refueling a B-52, a Extra 300, the 747’s of course and a few more. Speaking of commissions I am currently working on several new commissions. A Short Sunderland, two CRJ-200’s, a RAF F4 from 111 Sq. and two helos, a Dauphin, and EC135… oh and Dornier 328. So my plate is quit full at the moment.

I complete a new air racer and the first in the Biplane class. A Pitts S1 call Smokin Hot. Raced by Sam Swift of Swift racing.

That pretty much covers this update. Lots of new images and caricatures. If I have missed anything I will try and get it up soon. Please check out my Facebook page and follow me and the caricatures as they come off the drawing board. I always post the new stuff there.

As usual if you don’t see a particular aircraft just shoot me an email. We do commissions. Also I would love to hear what you think. again check out my FB page and drop me a line.

Posted on by

Hey everyone. Sorry it have been so long since I have posted an update. I have been feverishly working on some new art and several commissions. Currently I am working one three different 747’s all for a client at UPS. We have completed a 747-400CF a 747-400 BCF and we are currently working on a new 747-800CF. We completed a Mooney for a client and have just finished a Pitts S-1 for the same client. We are doing a repaint on an SR-22 for another customer as well as a few more commissions. We also have added a few more art pieces of some existing caricatures. as well as a special car caricature for a local landmark here in So Cal. I also  added a new caricature with character. This time a FJ Fury. I plan on doing several versions of this caricatures in several different media. I have completed the standard digital coloring version. I am trying to finish up a graphite version and have planned out a color pencil version.

I have added a new P-51 Racer from the early days of Reno. Race 9, a chocolate brownand white trimmed racer. Race 9 Adams

I also addded my first Jet Class racer, the 2016 National Champion winner, American Spirit, an Aero L-39 Albatross

 

 

I will try and post the images as soon as I can and I hope to make these updated a more regular occurrence.

The first ever Blackheart Art caricature calendars have been ordered. We ordered a limited number of wall calendars and Desk Top Calendars to gauge the interest. If we sell these out then the plan will be to do another one next year or two next year in larger numbers. The wall calendars are made with heavy card stock with glossy image pages. So order now and when they arrive we will process your order. Remember these are limited.

Sport Class racers

Posted on by

Here are a couple of RV-8 Sport Class racers from this years Reno Air Races. I think the Sport Class will be the class (with F1 a close second) that will keep Air Racing going well into the future. The warbirds that everyone loves are just to rare these days and to costly to race regularly. I still love the unlimited class but time is the enemy of the big iron.

Hornets

Posted on by

Here are a few new Hornet caricatures I put together recently.

First up is the opposing solos from the Blue Angels exciting the crowd. (editors note: yes the Solo’s should not have an apostrophe and it has been fixed on the prints)

Also I put together this in memory of the Blues Solos pilot lost earlier this year while practicing for an Air Show.

Calendar anyone??

Posted on by

Hey everyone, Hope your Thanksgiving was just as great as mine. Well I have decided to try making a calendar. here is a sample and it will be up to you if we go forward with it. This is a sample to gauge interest. The more people are interested and want to order will determine the final cost. The more I can order the lower the cost will be. So let me know what you think and if you would like one. We have a regular size wall calendar and a desk top version. BHA

Corsair Caricature with Character

Posted on by

Every now and then I add a bit of character to my caricatures. In this case I had a possible client ask about doing a Corsair with more character. This was the result. While the customer like the art work it was not what he was looking for, This has sat on the back burner for some time now. I happen to share it on FB and it seemed to get a lot of likes so here it is the Angry Corsair. If there is enough interest i will see about adding more of these to the collection.
