Looking to hire a artist for project

[TankBuster]

Hey all....I know we have some talented guys on the forum, so I thought I would start by asking here.

I've got a WW2 aviation theme wet bar in my basement, and I am looking to have a sign painted just like what is shown below. The only slight different is instead of the swastika for Aerial Victories, I would like the black cross as was also done in WW2. The size I am looking at is roughly 20" tall by 25" wide.
I would like to have the light aging done like shown on this one as well.

If any of you are interested in taking something like this on, please send me a PM along with a estimated price to do it.

Thanks, Jeff

Forgot to mention, may be obvious, but I would like it done on wood like the one I showed to give it that made from scrap WW2 look.

Thanks again!

I'm a little busy at the moment finishing up some back orders so I'll have to pass, but thought to show you this. I've got one available at about 80% done if interested. One of the more complicated patches I have selling regularly on Ebay for 135-

110- for a VLJ member.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm just looking for the sign for my bar. I own 2 separate groupings from pilots of the 487th, so I thought it would be a cool way to pay homage. I have a couple options, but would rather give a guy here a chance at the business before moving on.

You're welcome. What are the other options?

 

[TankBuster]

I am friends with 2 aviation artists. Both told me they could do it as a favor. Prices were not bad, but the wait time would be fairly long. I'm waiting to see if Johnny or one of the other guys here are up for it!

 

[TankBuster]

Got a guy for the project. Thanks! Jeff

Hey Johnny,

Will do! Hoping to get it in its place this weekend. Turned out great for anyone interested. Johnny did a super job.

Anyone is welcome any time!!


Thanks, I am happy with the overall outcome. I have a original WW2 era B-25 prop in one corner, and another nose art panel in the other corner. I have a couple last finishing touches I will be making related to the bar stools, and then I'm finished.

Thanks again Johnny!

We can all bring Zippos to help you finish the ceiling!
Believe it or not I actually want to do that in my room.
