Hey! I know that jacket.
John really makes a stunning jacket. Glad your stoked on it @bseal. I was super stoked to paint such a nice B-3. Great choice of artwork to replicate that particular design with the negative space of the jacket color used as the shadows in the B-17.
Enjoy it, stay warm!

No normally I don't at all. I never take that long to do work.
But things haven't really been normal as of late... but getting better as am I at dealing with them.
Cool---- Thanks for calling and good to talk to you as well.
Here is a little preview of what I am doing for Mr.Richard.
Nothing happened to me. It's my dad.
I basically had to shut it down for a while because It still is to this day a very time consuming process in which 14-16 hours a day are normal in helping out both my mom and my dad as well as finding time for My family.
Thank you for everyone who has been...
