Aviation Art - post your favourite pics

[Smithy]

I would love to see a pic of your Taylor print of Nicholson if you get the chance.

It's the same as above, needs new glass though as my son was throwing an American football around (I was playing touch American football here along with my normal rugby) and smashed it

Terrible lighting as well so it's not the best.

I bought this off my good mate, Ken Wynn, the eminent Battle of Britain historian (he who wrote "Men of the Battle of Britain").

Wonderful painting...

Thanks for sharing, that is a great image of an iconic moment. By the way, I saw your post under the books thread and I have also started ordering the Battle of Britain Combat Archive. What an amazing series with plenty of artwork to compliment the research. I plan on buying one or two a month over the next year!

Time to choose one within next few months. This is actually slightly more fun than jackets.
Something Pacific, either P-40s or Corsairs. This is one of my favorites. “Christmas Over Rangoon” by Roy Grinnell

Must dig out my Taylor’s ‘Duel of Eagles’ signed by Douglas ‘Alec’ Bader and Adolph Galland (in my loft as no man cave for me!) bought for my dear late Dad many moons ago and from whom my inherited aviation/military interest stems from!!

The Battle of Britain Combat Archive is awesome and a must-have if you're a true enthusiast but I'll warn you it's quite an investment, with the Dunkirk and Battle of France volumes as well, I've already spent £325 on the series. Money well spent though in my opinion!

I'm a big fan of John Wallin Liberto's work. He currently works as a concept artist for various videogame companies

Love John Liberto. I think I own one of the few large size hard copies of Bust-17 No. 1 of 50 but these were print on demand:

Wow, I have not heard of him and he is very good!

Different type of canvas, but caught this mural today in El Segundo, CA. My kind of town!

I have a few of Jim Deitzs prints, given to me as I'm in a few of them as a model. I think I'm in about five of them. My favorite is 'we haply few' as the 29th ID infantryman holding onto a pilfered FG42 rifle to the right of the painting. Jim painted me just as I am, too.
It's been years, but I've been to the full English pub he had in his Seattle basement.
I only have one print on the wall, the rest are rolled up.
I'm a professionally trained artist myself, I need to scan some of my better drawings eventually...

I am surprised that there is little if any mention of Gerald Coulson on this thread ( sorry if I missed it), back in the late eighties, early nineties his painti gs seemed to be everywhere.
Here is my signed limited edition print signed by him and two signed Robert Taylor prints signed by Stanford tuck, Douglas Bader and Johnny Johnson.
Great thread !, some excellent artwork.

The Hornet’s Nest by John Shaw. I am a huge fan of the Doolittle Raiders and ironically Shaw pictures Jimmy Doolittle in his A2 jacket.

[Mr. Mike]

My collectors history started with James Dietz' "Silver Wings". Unfortunately I never came across the reprints anymore and the IWM also took it off their list.

... so in a desperate mood one evening with a good glass of wine, and being addicted to the AVG I put some of my collectibles together to create my personal version which now hangs in my room and delights me every day

Another artist whose work I've been enjoying a lot lately is Christophe Gibelin
http://christophe.gibelin.free.fr/indexhibit/index.php

His website is a bit of a pain to navigate, but there's a lot of sweet, sweet aviation art in there.

 

[CBI]

Glad to see you like digital art! You are right about Gibelin's site, its not very user friendly. Most all of the images are for sale/used to be. I had the SBD on my "to buy" list but I already have two SBD images on the walls. We talked about prices and sizes but I need followed up.

So many excellent folks out there.

Julien has some cool images as well. Not many but love the style

I love that photo recreation of that Dietz print Mr. Mike. That’s pretty cool.

Mike, What you have created is exceptional. That display is beyond words. Well done sir.
