M.H. Keough’s Watercolor Illustration of an MB
I did some searches for ‘Willys Snowflakes’. Not surprisingly, I couldn’t find any. However, I did find this wonderful watercolor illustration done by M.H. Keough from the UK.
She writes on Flickr, “I love painting military vehicles ‘settling in for the long rust’. There’s a quiet dignity surrounding these old warhorses that I hope my art conveys.”
You can see the photo on Flickr here.
You can go to her blog here. Fine prints (22″ x 16″) are available through her website, however her online store seems down?
It Is Getting Cold Outside
Roberto tells me he is practicing his French. Here’s an illustration he made the other day. I believe it roughly translates as, ‘it is so cold even ducks will freeze’. Yes, winter is here! Of course, as always, Roberto slipped in a jeep . . .
Happy Thanksgiving!
Just when I was wondering what kind of turkey-willys post I could create for today’s holiday, Roberto forwarded me the perfect illustration. So, today I am thankful for his artistry! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Roberto’s Latest Drawing
Roberto forwarded his latest drawing to me. I think he had a lot of fun drawing this one!
He wrote, “It´s a a cartel or poster drawn for the 18th International Meeting of Classic Military Vehicles of the Guixaró 2012, Catalonia, Spain, organized by the Classic Motor Club of the Bages, Catalonia, Spain. I call it “Where is Willys?”…Obviously, after the influence of “Where´s Wally?” art.”

Roberto Flores, who has shared a variety of illustrations with eWillys readers, has published a non jeep book. The name of the book is “Have You Ever Wondered Why Spiders Yawn?”
