Hi Mike
Yes, some very nice illustrations there. Thanks for directing us to this site. It could well prove to be useful for me at some future date. Regards Jeff

I am very pleased the link is useful and hope some support for the artist materializes.

I recall going to Gloucester to pick up a long run of back numbers of Military Historical Society 'Bulletins' which belonged to a respected collector, Garry Parsons. His widow informed me he did line drawings for Hugh King. I remember admiring those too. It must be very rewarding to have such skills.

Mike

I had no idea badge related art would generate such a positive response, and apologies for hijacking this thread, but if any Forum member is in need of badge related artwork by all means do get in touch, I'd love to help.
All I have to show at the moment are these attachments, some of which have been previously shown on the Forum, which were recently made in the digital domain and are not realy representative of all of my capabilities. If I'd known before there'd be such an enthousiasm I'd have created some non digital examples to show and with decades of experience I'm perfectly willing and capable of going back to pen and ink or brushes if needed.

Rgds, Thomas.

Thomas

Your work looks very impressive too.

I am sure others would join me in encouraging you to put an album together of your work, including pen and ink examples too. There is a lot of talent on the Forum and it is a good place to showcase it given the mutual interest of members. I am sure our moderators would agree.


Mike
