Are there any other military artists out there? And, what have you created for your units?

I'm looking to connect with other military artists here on Rally Point. I'm also interested in ideas and contributing to one another to come up with new ideas.

Not sure if I consider myself an artist as much as a guy who gets it done when there is a hole to fill. All of the "t" barrier work and things I have done for commander's, CSM's and the Soldiers has usually been like this: "anyone know someone who can paint or draw a picture"? So I have painted aircraft parts in OEF#1 in 2002 at Kandahar, drawn tent maps with personalization, drawn two prints for the units deployed, painted numerous "T" barriers, 12 windows for CH-47D aircraft, NVG visors for helmets, face plates for them also. I basically just draw and paint when and where I can. Of course I also volunteer for the Foundation For Hospital Art and paint with all servicemen and women while serving overseas. Of course you know I did a sketch of a brain storm I had for a memorial also, which thanks to you has become more reality now.

Hand paint and draw on anything, aircraft parts, rocks, glass, whatever they have and I have at the time. Thing is, hand creations are not as appreciated now as they once were!

I am not an artist but I have a friend who is. He does hundreds of hand sketches every month. He was also a Vietnam Veteran with PTSD and these paintings help him cope with the stresses of his life.
Yet another at Forecasting School at Chanute AFB, where a Petty Officer was drawing in chalk, sketches of his classmates with captions. After depicting one SSgt who lived with his mother, he had this individual accosting a lady of the night, if you would. Underneath a lampshade.
On another a picture of the Instructor fishing and a sharp coming up to get him.
The instructor fell out each time, at this guy's tremendous gift. I guess we NCOs rock. haha
