... more of my photo-illus work











... here is some of my recent portfolio work. These are photographic illustrations done with digital techniques. They are created using existing stock photographs as a starting point. Aircraft are often cut apart and reassembled with modification to angle and perspective as well as color, lighting and detail. The goal is to create photographic realistic illustrations of events and scenes that could not be created in any other way.

1952 ... first hero of WWIII !




1983 ... gee-whiz!


... great illustration for a speculative fighter hot-rod. Seems to be using hydrogen 'zip-fuel'. From time to time engineers try to come up with a more exotic miracle fuel that will radically improve the performance of air-breathing aircraft.

1956 ... B-58 ejection capsule


... faced with the daunting idea of bailing out of an aircraft traveling at 1400 mph at 11 miles above the Earth, the engineers of the 1950's tried to come up with a solution. The Convair B-58 'Hustler' was one of several aircraft which have attempted to use an ejection 'pod' to protect the aircrew from the harsh environment. Sadly, none of them have worked very well. Pilots of the more contemporary SR-71 and the U-2 wear spacesuit style flight-suits which, together with an efficient ejection seat, seem to provide as much protection as possible. LINK
