My latest completed commission is for a rather awesome group of folks: The 82nd Airborne, 508 Parachute Infantry Regiment, Easy Company reenactment group, and their website at www.508pir.com. This project was a particularly awesome challenge, as not only was I going for a classic pin-up look (Even dated the result as '42, for kicks) but the uniform details needed to be as spot-on as I could manage them, as well. In the end, I'm very pleased with the result. Sassy and classy - I think we achieved both ;)
For fun, here's the initial rough sketch as well.
More art soon,
Mel

Yay! I really like this!
I am a former 82nd paratrooper and love this work of art. Robert Brown (SGT)82ns Sig BN.
Mel please continue the tradition of Nose Art. You rock at it.
Mel- I'm a big fan of the nose art/pinup style graphics and also served in the 508th in the 80s. This "speaks to me" on many levels. Very cool and I hope to see more.leyo
