Roberto Flores forwarded these two illustrations with some background information. Great as always!
Here are a couple of pics of my newest commissioned order cartoons for the “Jambo Jeep 2015” meeting. This is a classic jeep and 4×4 held each year at Navarre, where I live. From some years ago, the crew which organized this meeting ordered me some artwork, as cartoons or logos. This year, they have asked me to draw the logo too (I would try to find some pics of it) and these 2 cartoons. One shows a fully restored WW2 US Army Dodge WC51, with markings of the famous 101st AB division “Screaming Eagles”. His owner is posing next to it and dressed with the airborne division uniform. Also, you could see his girlfriend at the background and some architecture from the village in which they live, Murla, at Alicante, on the Mediterranean coast.
The other “violet” Willys jeep is a Spanish Viasa one modified to look as an US flatfender by his owner, who appears too at the drawing, posing with all his family. Also, I have drawn some well known monuments and so of their village, Almacelles, at Catalonia.
Again, you make my day, Dave! Many, many thanks!
And if anybody wants a cartoon, don´t doubt to contact me. He he he!
PS: Sorry for the pub!
Wow, these are cool. I don’t know much about the military side of things, but that wc51 is very cool. The quality of art is great. Very nice!
Thanks a lot for your kindful comments, Idaho Todd! Unfortunately, I couldn´t attend the meeting and take more pics. Specially, when the artworks were presented to the people. A real pity!
At this moment, I´m trying to build a new website with more info, as links to working proccess of this kind of works. But being a “one-man business” is a mess…sometimes! 🙂
How much do you get for a painting, if I may ask? And can you make one off of a photo?
Hi Idaho,
Of course, you may! I would suggest you to contact me at robflores@robertoflores.com as there´re a lot of options. I mean, sizes, techniques and prices too.
Again, many thanks!
