HORN CROWN (1981)
Acrylic - 29” x 18”
Another long established series that I worked on early in my career. This was my third and final cover for Andre Norton’s Witch World, but the first chronologically detailing how humans arrived on the planet. 1/3

Part 2 of our history of the remarkable flight of the California Clipper in WW2 is now available.
To get back to the US after Pearl Harbor, Ford and his crew are asked by Pan Am to do something no commercial aircrew or passenger plane has done before:
Circumnavigate the world. #history #aviation

Flying blind: The remarkable journey of the California Clipper, Part 2
What Pan Am were asking of Ford, his crew and his aircraft was to do something that no commercial flying boat had ever done before: complete a circumnavigation of the world.

I have used this mental glitch to rig "stakeholder sessions" with senior managers and academics.
There’s a work exercise where to inform what we want to do next we have 3 stickers to put on the suggestions. By going first and adding two stickers to one of the suggestions almost always guarantees people will follow the heat maps to avoid “wasting” their votes.

One evening Max, next door's cat, pawed at our patio door to be let in. I opened it and he sauntered in looking annoyed, jumped on 'his' chair and curled up to snooze.
Then i realised i could hear an alarm. Looked over the fence. They were out for the day, and their kitchen was on fire.

...Now, though, I'm wondering whether or not that con's "Diane Duane" was the fake one who was running around for some years pretending to be me (until the fans caught her and she went to jail for multiple frauds). (Details here: www.dianeduane.com/past-news-it...)

Ivy Pinup - Singing
A pinup based on a voting I did back in july 2024 for my Patreon. Of course, Ivy didn't sing in the comic (as much as I remember), but I think she could :p (there was a nude version in the patreon archive >:3)
