Welcome to my web site and catalog, your source for over 1800 prints of military and civil aircraft , US Navy, Coast Guard and merchant ships and some British, German, Japanese and Australian warships. My prints are faithful reproductions of my blended technique of pencil & digital artwork. Over 21,000 customers have purchased my prints since 2001. My originals and special editions are displayed in the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos CA, (for which I was a design consultant), the Royal Air Force Club in London and SAC HQ at Offutt AFB NE, (to name but a few), as well as aboard many US Navy ships and in the homes of sailors and airmen and their families worldwide. In addition to my basic prints of aircraft and ships you will find customizing details which turn the print into a unique gift or a family heirloom. I can also produce composite prints which encapsulate an entire military career into one picture. - a considerable saving in cost and wall space !
