PYBOT - Air Force 50th Anniversary


I was commisioned to do this illustration for a magazine cover to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the US Air Force. The planes flying away from you are B-50s, being the first aircraft designated as Air Force in September of 1947. The wing-like aircraft flying toward you is of course, the well recognized B-2 Spirit, the Air Force's first operational stealth bomber.

Enjoy!

Hey Steph, did you do any paintings for the Society of Illustrators Air Force Art Programs?
I used to do paintings for them. I hear it's still going on. I was with Group West years ago and did work along with Ren Wicks, Nixon Galloway, Larry Salk, Neil Boyle and Bill Robles. Any of those names ring a bell?

Mike,

Yes, I am an active member of the Air Force Art program. I haven't submitted art in the past few years though. I am also an associate member of the ASAA (American Society of Aviation Artists). I am familiar with the works of Ren Wicks and Nixon Galloway.
