I’m pleased how the Douglas A20 Havoc illustration has turned out considering I started the project back in June 2025. It just proves I’m definitely slowing down with age. I need to work on Johnnie Johnson’s Spitfire pencil illustration before I die of old age. LOL! Cheers!
FYI: I’ve been kicking around the idea of illustrating the “Connie” (Lockheed Constellation). However I’m open to suggestions on the next aircraft illustration.

Completed the P51 Mustang illustration for the “Aircraft Pinup” series I’ve been working on. Not sure which aircraft I’ll illustrate next. I still have pencil illustration of Johnnie Johnson and his Spitfire sitting on my drawing table I need to continue working on. However it’s getting more difficult to lean over my drafting table to work on it. Cheers!

Recently complete the OS2U Kingfisher illustration. It’ll be a fun addition to the “Aircraft Pinup” series I've been working on. The setting is reminiscent of some of the islands and dive sights I’ve visited. Cheers!

The F6F Hellcat illustration is finally completed and will make a fun addition to the “Aircraft Pinup” series I’ve been working on. I've also included it in the 2026 "Aircraft Pinup" series calendar. Cheers!

The Helldiver turned out pretty good and will make a fun addition to the “Aircraft Pinup” series I’ve been working on. Now I need to turn my attention to working on the pencil illustration of Johnny Johnson and his Spitfire. Cheers!

I’ve started on work on Johnnie Johnson’s Spitfire but haven’t gotten very far due to my hip which I’m having replaced next month. It’s incredibly difficult standing around my drafting table trying to work on the illustration. I suspect it’ll be a couple months before I can start working on the Spitfire again. Cheers!

Been working on another illustration for the Aircraft Pinup series. This shouldn’t be too difficult for all the aviation gurus out there to figure out which aircraft this landing gear belongs to? Cheers!

The B25 Load Out illustration is pretty much done and should make a nice addition to the “Aircraft Pinup” series. I started this B25 project back in mid October...it took about the same amount of time to create the B25 as the B17 illustration. Cheers!

For those who haven't see all the illustrations within the aircraft pinup series I've updated my website to include them Cheers!
