In the art trade this style has always been known as "Naive"

I've always wanted to extend the term to ............."to think anyone but the artist will rate this"............to the word "Naive"

 

[ausreenactor]

Whaddya mean? He nailed it!

(Sarcasm laid on)

 

[Micawber]

Not exactly subtle, or to scale is it.

You buy it, you own it, it’s yours to do as you please..... we may think it looks naff but if the guy who owns it is happy and doesn’t care what we think, then good on him !

Too many people do things to please others, to garner peer approval. Someone who doesn’t give a rat’s arse what others think is a truly happy & secure person

 

[Silver Surfer]

hahahahahaa, well put od.....though from an artists point of view, that work is just plain butt ugly.

Pray, where can one buy rat's arses, do they come in in quantities or singly?

To be fair, it’s no worse than a lot of WII jacket art-which, again, was painted on jackets which had been issued, about which the wearer probably didn’t give the aforementioned rodent’s posterior, by guys who were in most cases not professional artists. Nowadays we spend thousands on the jackets and get professionals to do our artwork for us, which I guess isn’t really terribly authentic. I don’t like big back pieces like that anyway, but it could be argued that that is closer to a WWII jacket than most of the beautifully done jacket art we see today. He’s trying to say though, that it’s ‘Time worn’, but I don’t think the Time Worn process includes cracking of the surface coating like that. I won’t be buying it, anyway.

Early Eastman from the time when the acrylic peeled off, looks ok in moderation.

 

[B-Man2]

Well ... I hope the plane and crew survived the war. I’m thinking that any guy.... what ever side he was on... would have to think twice about shooting down that fine looking bottom!!!!

 

[D97x7]

I assume it’s a crack in the jacket but she sort of looks three legged to me.

 

[Bombing IP]

At first I thought she had a giant mushroom on her head .

It's an Eastman

 

[Micawber]

It's an Eastman

On her head?

Anyway, a/c survived her tour and returned to the States, sold for scrap late '45.

 

[John Lever]

An Eastman B3

 

[Micawber]

An Eastman B3

Quite.

I knew it!!
No way a guy would harm a pimple on that fine looking tush!!

 

[Otter]

I thought that was a mushroom as well !

I’m concerned you looked so closely,,
Ok ,I admit it I looked,,but only after you mentioned it,

As it’s art everyone has an opinion. I painted Porky Pig on the back of a repro A-2 and many people I’m sure question why I did that. I too have questioned it but it’s from an actual nose art and my wife wouldn’t let me paint a lady on the back.
