New Air Racers Added

Posted on November 15, 2020 by Pat Cherry

We have added several new poster style versions of our Air Racing caricatures. Please check them out in the air racers section. I think they are very cool and look like vintage racing posters. I am looking into the possibility of creating garden flags so fans can display their favorite team./ racer.

We have also added a new Formula One racer the Cassutt IIIM, Sleeper. (see above) This air racer is owned by Josh Phillipson (who also owns and pilots, No Strings Attached) and piloted in 2019 by Des Hart. There are three versions, out regular profile, a version of Sleeper crossing the home pylon, and one of the new racing strip series.

Retro DC3 from 737

Posted on August 24, 2020 by Pat Cherry

Hey all, Okay I was at my day job and was thinking how the Boeing 737 could be considered the DC-3 of it’s time. So it inspired me to create Boeing’s next big thing after the 737 MAX debacle, the B737/DC-3r retro liner. Taking a page from the auto industry they create a retro looking airliner. DC3 style fuselage and tails with new turbo fans and modern wings with winglets. I did one in Boeing hose colors and one in the colors of my day job, GLS, so it would be the cargo version. After the first one I add a bit of caricature to the GLS and Boeing prototype.

Next up is a nod to Hank Caruso the famous caricature artist with my version of the ERJ -175 in American Eagle livery, and Compass Airlines. Compass has unfortunately since gone out of business mostly because of Covid, but also the loss of American as a business partner.

Have a great day and enjoy the art. Any suggestions please feel free to contact me and let me know what you would like to see next. Currently I am working on a QF-16 for a past client, and a new A-4C for another DFC winner.

Biz Jets

Posted on June 3, 2018 by Pat Cherry

It have been awhile since my last post. I have been busy with new commissions and print orders, plus the day job is as usual putting a crimp on art production. The latest complete customer caricatures are some biz jets for a English aircraft service company, 2 Challenger Jets, 2 Global Express jets, and a Hawker. I am currently working on a C-130H with firefight equipment for a valued customer so look for that soon.. Also I have been working on all the pictures I took at the Planes of Fame’s annual airshow so check out my Facebook page (Pat Cherry) to see some of those. I might add a few to the photos section.Okay that is is for now so please check out the civilian section for the new biz jets, and let me know what you think.

Voodoo Speed record Prints

Posted on November 11, 2017 by Pat Cherry

Hello all

As stated in an earlier post I updated my Voodoo Caricature with the new Speed record scheme and the Reno Scheme. Now I have put together a print to honor both the Red Baron flown by Steve Hinton to world record in 1979 and his son Steve Hinton Jr who flew Voodoo this year to a new world record. You can find both in the Air Racers section. BH

New Art… finally

Posted on April 22, 2017 by Pat Cherry

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.

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.

Sport Class racers

Posted on November 29, 2016 by Pat Cherry

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.
