Work in the pipeline.......

It's been a while since my last update, so thought I'd give you a quick 'heads-up' about what's going down in my studio.

Firstly, just a quick note to say I've ditched my website and Facebook presence, so as not to distract from my current art and writing projects. I instead decided to keep this blog; I've had it for years now and have grown quite attached to the old place.

So, back down to the art. Today I began researching details for a new B-24J drawing. It will depict a NMF ship from the 458th Bomb Group and will be A3 in size.

Since I also have a penchant for WWII Japanese subjects, I'm also planning another IJN portrait for my 'Aces' series. A little self-indulgent perhaps, but I enjoy the subject and it's not as mainstream as yet another Spitfire or P-51 (not to say that I don't love those aircraft, too!).

03/06/12 - just a quick update: I've chosen my next Japanese Ace portrait to be Takeo Tanimizu and his A6M5c.

More soon..............

I love that Tony on your home page. What size and medium is that piece?

Thanks, Palette. It's approx 12'' x 8'' and is acrylic. It's an old painting I did quite a few years ago. I also have an N1K2 painting I've started and one day will hopefully get around to completing......
