| New Member: WW2 Aviation Artist Hello all! I just joined last night, but only now managed to add 18 examples of my artwork in the Picture Album section. I'm new to the aviation art scene, though I've been a professional architectural renderer/artist for many years. I only started marketing my aircraft art at Christmas last year, though some of my work goes back to the 90s. I'd love to know what folks think, and hear suggestions. Thanks! - Ron Cole index Last edited by FLYBOYJ; 10-28-2007 at 10:09 PM. |

| Thanks! I've been interested in the Japanese military since I was a kid. I became a pilot at 17, so - putting the two together led to the combination. Since high school I've been in touch with, and interviewing, Japanese WW2 veterans. I was always amazed by their stories of selfless bravery, and as an American have always been of the opinion that Western culture has never given the Japanese a fair hearing. The Pacific War was very racialized, unlike the War in Europe which was among white Christian powers. Some time ago I foresaw the immanent passing-on of veterans from the WW2 conflict. Japanese almost never provided autographs to Western artists - as they saw most Western war art as celebratory of their defeat. I thought I might be an exception, considering my long-standing relationships with many of them. They've been extremely supportive of my work, and I in turn remain sensitive of their feelings about the portrayal of war - which is why I don't do violence in my Japanese pieces. - Ron Cole |

| Amazing work. I think Moonlight Sortie, Judy and Defense of Homeland are the best. I wish I had a place to hang them. DBII |
