Just wondering what jacket art you guys have on your jacket and if none, what you're considering ? If you have any, would you post a pic or two of it.
When I was 'designing' jacket art, this was pre-photoshop mind you. I'd make a proper sized copy of the airplane or pin-up girl I wanted then do a cut and paste job onto a piece of paper.
I'm not a 'purist' in that I want a jacket that replicates a WW2 design. I want an airplane and a pin-up girl or cartoon character on my jacket. At one time, I was designing a couple of personal jackets based on airplanes I liked. One was for an A-10 Warthog with sharks mouth and a stylized fantasy harem girl pin-up, with the top banner, "HOG HEAVEN". Another was for a Douglas A-1 Skyraider (Spad) running a "Sandy" mission, suppressing ground fire for a Jolly Green helo going in to rescue a downed airman. The jacket would have: A Spad, a Jolly Green in the background, and of course, a 60's or 70's era pin-up girl with the banner, "SANDY"
Other jacket art I'd like to design, would be a jacket to commemorate the P-38 pilots of the 339 FS that shot down Adm. Yamamoto. I've already done one P-38 jacket for someone else so it'd be pretty much the same design, I might take artistic license and be historically inaccurate because I'd prefer a silver skinned P-38 instead of the historically accurate OD green P-38 flown by Rex Barber (silver just looks better against a brown/russet jacket). The top banner would read: "LIGHTNING STRIKE". The pin-up would be a fetching period Varga girl.
One honorable mention design I'd like to give a shout out for is Jerome's, Dragon Lady B-29.
Love it, flawless design and execution....http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/14938652
