Comments by the Artist:
I have been producing nothing but aviation illustrations and painting for over 20 years so I've had quite a bit of practice. As aircraft are technical objects, I do attempt to make my pictures as technically accurate as possible. Whether buying or commissioning a print I am convinced you can't get better quality elsewhere.
Following artistic ability, the second most important aspect of aviation art work is adequate knowledge of the subject matter and the references used. For the production of my profiles I use a vast collection of close-up photographs to ensure all details are correct. The artwork itself is always based on an accurate technical drawing. Using an accurate drawing ensures the shape of the aircraft is correct at the outset.
I only ever use photographs as a reference source for colours and markings. As I have complete control over all the printing of the artwork that I offer I at least can ensure the colours are what I think they should look like. It should also be noted that the images that appear on my site are JPEG versions of my original artwork. JPEGs (like the internet they were developed for) use a narrow range of colour and as such they are not exactly the same as my originals and the prints I produce.
Commissioning a F-15E Side View
A picture can be commissioned of any individual aircraft. You will receive a highly detailed picture showing the individual aircraft requested. You can also have the legend that appears on each print specifically tailored to you and I can add various stores/ munitions within reason.
I would need all the specific details relevant to the plane. This would include Serial Number or Aircraft Number, Unit Markings, crew names and nose art if applicable. Ideally I would need photographs of all the details above; the more photographic reference I have the more detailed your picture will be. If there are any unique details such as weathing and dirt etc., this can be faithfully copied to make your picture truly accurate. The ultimate reference for me is a series of close-up pictures detailing an entire airplane. If this is not possible I can simply work from one picture as long as I know all the other details listed above. The easiest way to send the photos is to E-mail high resolution images. Photos can be scanned and sent as attachments. Alternatively copies of photos can be sent by regular mail.
I can also be commissioned to produce a squadron print for any serving unit. When I know the numbers of prints required I will be able to quote a price.
