In preperation for the Pearl Harbor prints I did this year I also did a Val caricature.

Next up is a new SU-27 Flanker in Ukrainian markings. Plus a special grey wolf print.

Lastly I have finally finished the Balao Class Submarine Pampanito. This caricature I have had on the drawing board for some time and finally finished it. Once I finished the USS Pampanito I had to do the USS Sea Tiger from the movie Operation Petticoat and the USS, Stringray from the movie Down Periscope.

I also added a new KC-135 caricature this time 3/4 view. This KC is from the 100th ARW.

I think that about covers all the new stuff. Keep checking back I promise to update more often.

Just finished up a couple new A320 caricatures. United Airlines retro livery with two different backgrounds. One with graphics and show room look. The other showing the aircraft at altitude enroute to points unknown.  My nephew is currently training on the A320 with United and I wanted to get a jump on doing the first A320 he will fly, so I started with this one. I also have the brand new Blue globe livery just about complete and will be doing the previous livery (the gold globe) and maybe if I have time the Continental retro livery I found on line.

We are trying out a few companies that can do Garden flags. I have tried three so far, two are very similar and one is a it more heavy weight. I like the to lighter ones best. If anyone is interested just let me know. So far I have thought of using the air racers on the examples, but could design others, The Vintage racing style posters I created work perfectly. Flags are 12″x18″, This one is proudly hanging in my front yard.

New Air racer finished as Reno 2021 approaches. Here is my second entry in the Jet Class, the 2019 National Champion, Just Lucky a L-29 Delfin flow by Pete Zacccagnino. Pete Qualified the Delfin second at 510.304 behind the Vampire, Dark Shadow. In Heat 1A Just Lucky was second with a speed of 489.439 again behind Dark Shadow. The next day in Heat 2A Pete took the checkered flag at a speed of 510.411. Sunday in the Gold Final race Pete and Just Lucky was just that taking the checkered flag in first at a winning speed of 495.106. I hope to be doing a few more Jet class racers very soon.

First up is Shoestring the world beater and grand champion in the f 1 class raced by Ray Cote. Ray won many championships in Shoestring and later a couple in the next racer Wagner’s Solution. The Solution was racer by Judy Wagner in an attempt to wrestle the championship from Ray.

The two new sport racers are Race 33 flown by the great Daryl Greenamyer, another master racer and multiple champion in both Unlimited and Sport Class. Finally Breaking Wind a colorful Glasair III that raced in 2019 and hopefully will be back in 2021.

That’s about it for now. Look forward to more Glasiar racers after I finish up a few commissions and a poster for one of the T-6 race teams.

Next up a new F4U-D Corsair from VMF351, which flew off the escort carrier CVE-109 Cape Gloucester. The CO was Lt Col Donald Yost who had 6 kills while flying F4F Wildcats, then added two more in the Corsair.

hope to be adding a few more very soon. Have a couple commissions on the books so we can look forward to that. BH

After working on the pencil versions I used the basic drawing and the line work I applied the same techniques I use on my other caricatures and created a triple threat. One with basic cloud background, one with a more mono tone sky and one that looks like a drawing on gray toned paper with a shadow as if the Wildcat is skimming the work surface. Let me know what you think. You can find them all in the fine art section.

Another new caricature was added to the propeller fighters. I created a similar pose I used for the Wildcat, but did it with a Mitsubishi Zero caricature. Again with a cloud background and one skimming the gray tones paper. Very soon I will be doing this in color pencils like the Wildcat. I may even do a gray version as well as the OD green you see here. Check out the Propeller section for the other version.

Also new is a civilian version of the DC-9 caricature I did a few years ago. In fact I have added 4 different paint schemes. Two for KLM, one TWA and a northwest Air version. Besides the DC-9 I recently finished a commission for a past client the Cargo B777 in Kallitta Air colors.

Finally I added a new F-100 commission.

Next up today is another commission. This one we completed several months ago and was a Christmas present for the clients husband. Another RV-8 painted like a F4U Corsair in the US Navy Tri blue scheme. Follow up picture shows proud RV=8 owner standing next to his aircraft print in hand. Thanks again and glad he liked the print. A side note the client found us becasue of the sponsor logo we had on Sam Swifts biplane Hot Stuff at this years Reno air races. So much thanks again the Swift racing.

That about does it for new art we have completed, but there is lots of new stuff coming soon. (new 777-300F, P-61 Black Widow, new racers especially sport class, and a few much more.)

Happy Holidays BH

The first print I call Power Sport. It combines the two powerhouse racers in the Sport class, a Super Glasair II, Race 39 flown by Jeff LaVelle, a multiple National Champion and One Moment, a Super Legacy Lancair flown by Andrew Findlay. One Moment has the distinction of braking the 400 MPH mark for the class. This would put her in the mid to upper level of the Unlimited class. Quite impressive for a home built racer powered by a 6 cylinder race engine. The Sport Class is probably the future of air racing. Reno Sport Class.

The next new print combines to rivals in the T-6 class. Miss Ellaneous and Miss Humboldt Hunny. Miss Ellaneous is an SNJ, raced by Bill Muszala, while Miss Humbolt Hunny, race 73, is a T-6G. Both of these aircraft seem to battle all week finishing either one two in their heat races. Sometime trading places at the finish. Miss Humboldt Hunny flown by Ralph Rina finished the 2019 races winning the Bronze race. Just a reminder I have individual prints of all these aircraft available in the racer section of this web site.
