First, would I do this for a living? I mean - real living?
Damn right. Gawd, I love this part of American history and...you should too.
This morning, I started out having breakfast with a medic assigned to McArthur's "return" to the Philippines circa 1944. Then, a new acquaintance let me know that a pilot assigned to the USS South Dakota (battleship) was not only alive but had sold his Harley last year. Would he like to have his plane memorialized for all digital-eternity?
Hell yeah.
So, I guess Satan's Chille'n and Lt. Ted Hutchins' Chance Vought OS2U Kingfisher are now BOTH on the drawing board.
Put the coffee pot on "full throttle." I'm not sleeping for a while.
Anyway, in the words of my buddy Lt. John Forrette who served in the Philippines circa 1944-45, "History doesn't sleep."
Watch this space - it's going to be awesome.

PS - no kidding, as this is being typed, my kid is scratching the American anthem on his violin. It sounds awful but...is wonderful at the same time.
PSS - here's my first sketch!
