And some cloth jackets.

I found this and thought it would be appropriate for this thread.

With the topic on hand, I thought this would be appropriate. This book has been in the making for several years.
Scheduled for an early summer release.

One of the best original pin ups I've had the chance to handle.

Another cool original I was able to examine. Love the simple use of colors readily available by ground crew.

I agree with you 100% Grant.
It's hard to say why, but I also find this painting amazing.
In fact it is not necessarily the most realistic painting, but the "graphic style" is superb.
Moreover, the cracks due to time adds something beautiful.

You're referring to Grant right?
