Here is some of my new digital illustration artwork depicting military scenes.
U.S.S. Enterprise (CVN-65)
The USS Enterprise CVN-65, nicknamed the ‘Big E’ is the pride of the United States Navy and is the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. It is the largest naval vessel in the world and has served the Navy for over half of a century. The aircraft carrier is set to be decommissioned in 2013.
U.S.S. Nicholson DD-982
The U.S.S. Nicholson illustration was a commission for a sailor who served upon her and who spent over twenty years in the Navy. The USS Nicholson is a Spruance-class destroyer named for the Nicholson family who were a prominent early American naval family. Sam Nicholson was the commander and captain of the famous U.S.S. Constitution.
'Red Tails in the Sunset'
The story of the Tuskegee Airmen is an extraordinary one, both from a historic & military standpoint. They were a group of African-American pilots who valiantly fought during World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen consisted of the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Corps. They painted their North American P-51 Mustangs red thus earning the nickname ‘Red Tails’. Movie director icon, George Lucas just released a movie with that very name to honor these men of the greatest generation.
