Howdy folks, it’s been a while since I dropped by. Life is very busy. But, after working on this stupid painting off and on for 3 years, I wanted to show you the U.S.S. New Mexico at the “Battle of Pips”.

Both my grandfathers served in the Aleutians and one went in with the invasion of Kiska (both U.S. Army). Also, when I attended the University of New Mexico years ago, I would pass by the New Mexico’s bell that was on display while walking to class. I even...

Pretty interesting piece. It’s a portrait of a U.S. Serviceman. Painted at the bottom reads “Hicks- England 1943”. It’s on paper and seems to be glued onto card stock. I’ve read that it was common for Servicemen to have these made by artists while in England, often to have sent back to family.

Howdy Folks,

I asked for permission before I posted this (since it is dealing with a WWI subject). I wanted to share my new painting of the Lusitania wreck.

I read a book about her sinking this spring that inspired me to paint this. This is more or less her condition back in the 1990s when explorer Bob Ballard visited the wreck.

Since then she seems to have deteriorated even more so and continues to collapse in on herself.
I was always fascinated (and...

Last year I co-founded a WW2-related NFT project (google it if you need more info on what those are). It's called "Courageous Cards" and it brings together all of my passions for ww2, military history, digital art, etc. We are creating these digital trading cards (art) which will encompass all major fighting units, leaders, events, etc. for all major...

It’s been a while since I have posted some art here. Heck, it’s been a while since I painted much. I started this painting of the Hood around Thanksgiving of last year and finally finished It enough to frame it. This will be my 3rd painting of her. She was such a beauty it beckons me to paint her. Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking at it. If anyone has any constructive criticism, or see any major flaws, it’s always welcome to comment. I tried to take my time paint her...

If this has already been posted, please delete it.

Mussolini here years ago told me about the metal band Sabaton, who make war related songs, heavy on WWII in some albums.. I have one of their albums that have two great songs on D Day “Primo Victoria” and the Battle of the Atlantic/ “Wolfpack”.

They came out with a single on the Bismarck. I just came across it on youtube and really like it. And if you are not into metal, it has some pretty good recreations for the...
