Introduction of another newbie

[jbmilart]

Howdy all!
A client and good friend... told me about this forum, and should check it out... so I did... and joined!... I saw that this is a place, that has many common interests, that rings true with me... I am a artist who hand paints leather squadron patches... I have been doing this for a couple of years now... and still learning all the time... I have been a self taught artist and historian, about WWII aviation and other military interests, for over 30 years... never taking too seriously, my artistic abilities until very recently... I've also seen some familiar names on this forum, from the "Fedora Lounge", which I am also a member. I hope to be a worthy member of the VLJ, and will try to help, in anyway I can.

Thanks... Jim

Very nice! And welcome. Love all the talented folks here - seems there's a few doing patches, which is great.
I hope you've been properly forewarned about this place - it's pretty crazy!

This place is definitely bad for those with a weakness for repro patches.
I've purchased several from some of the artists who belong the the VLJ...all have been beautifully done.

Welcome to the VLJ, as a fellow 'hat forum' member, too, I'd like to join the rest in greeting another patch enthusiast to the fold.
