San Diego Air and Space Museum Hall of Fame


I am thrilled to report I have been asked again to contribute to the Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air and Space Museum which will make numbers five and six in paintings I have done. It would take a lot to catch up with their neighbor two hundred yards away with one hundred and fifteen art pieces for the Brietbard Hall of Fame at the San Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum I have done since 1983. (At that time I had to redo the fifty-six members of the hall of fame in the new format). 
This years paintings for the Air and Space will be astronaut Scott Carpenter; one of the original seven astronauts, and Brigadier General Robert Cardenas who was part of the Air Force's test pilot group and flew the B-29 that carried Chuck Yeager in his X-1 on its way to being the first to break the sound barrier. The Induction ceremony will take place October 25th at the Museum.

Change of plans.


Well every now in then the world of commercial art will send a curve your way. It has happened with the project for the next cover of Red White and Green Magazine the publication for the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame. They have moved the Joe Torre cover back and replaced it with well deserved acknowledgment of Jerry Colangelo with his work over the last three years helping to bring back gold to the US Olympic Basketball program. I will enjoy creating this cover for sure. USA! USA! USA!
