Cool T-45 Art

[puck_11]

I apologize for the poor photo, it looks much better in person, but I just picked this up from the local framing place in Kingsville. Its pretty big, it measures 20x30 inches. Some of you from VT-22 will recognize this as there is a copy hanging in the squadron bar. I plan on getting it framed and mounted, but I bought it first as it was the last copy they had. It looks like it was drawn by a (then) LTJG Tim "Flip" Wilson. Anyone know him, or know anything more about this drawing?

Flip was an instructor at VAW-120 when I was there. Great artist.

I don't remember if I posted this already somewhere... but...
this one was done by LTJG Charles Wickware, awesome artist and new VT-21 SERGRAD

Flip and I went to NROTC together and later served as IP's at VAW-120. He bought a house in Virginia owned by a COD driver....it was a great party house. A few really good nights spent in that house :icon_smil

It seems like the more I read AW, the smaller the Naval Aviation community gets. Do you guys ALL know each other?

 

[Afterburner76]

yes. ... intimately.

Didn't Wickware do the drawing on the wall outside VT-6 Ops Admin, also?

more Wickware art

I feel compelled to showcase some more of "Wick's" amazing art. It is about as custom of a gift you could get for someone and I am sure if you give enough time he can make it happen even with his new busy schedule.

Wick's not that busy.. Put him in the RDO shack, he will have plenty of time to do art

(and I can stop working on my flightsuit tan)

Wick's a great guy, I helped to indoc his class at OCS! Funny dude, could never stop smiling though...ohh the memories from OCS!! Also a great artist, I am 99% sure he designed the artwork on their OCS shirts also.

not just a great artist, but this lithograph was done as a surprise gift to a buddy... just goes to show the kind of guy he is. He's a total bro.

He did, we were in the same class. He did some pretty good drawings other than the class shirt too.
