Alright Jack, I can see the Natives are getting restless! Post away. Keep in mind the wings are only primer....we have not completed the markings and still have major parts to paint.....it's still in process and only 30 degrees in Boise! (

Our friend Ross Parton is the artist and he is exceptional! We discussed how and what we wanted and he simply nailed it. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the "old school" sign painter touch!.

Hey JC,

I am glad you mentioned who did your artwork for you.

Ross Parton did a really incredible job. Hats off to Ross!!!

I am glad you were able to find an artist with his talent to do some a nice piece of artwork for your bird.

Cheers,

David (only slightly restless)

JCP,
