To date, I haven't seen any artwork available that celebrates Naval Aviations Centennial like a grouping painting of the CURTISS and other significant aircraft up through the F-18-

Nice decal, it would look good on the side of my roll away toolbox, I had more in mind something a bit more expansive and utilizing brushes and different colors of paint on stretched canvas

I think a lot of artists are shying away from ANYTHING modern due to the fact that Lockmart and the BigB lawyers like to sue anyone who does a picture of their toys! I've done enough art that I can't sell anyways, thank you very much! :shock:

There's swirl marks in the finish on the SNJ. Very unprofessional!

There's airplanes in the photos!?! I was sort of digging how the first blondes ink blended with her top. They closed the HOOTERS in Lynnwood a few years ago, now I have to drive a long way for greasy chicken and 'strained through a horse' beers :drink3: :wink:
And thanks gentlemen, you've brightened my evening_
