Hi fellows, First at all, I would like to acknowledge the efforts and work of Haines Garage. Many thanks for creating this board! It´s a great chance for me to share them and make some publicity! Although I have presented you this one at the General Board, I would like to post it here again. It´s a painting on bed sheet (yes, bed sheet). I have used the same paint range and sheet which I employ for the "pancartas" or banners for the San Fermin "fiesta" or party (the running with the bulls), which I paint for years now and commissioned order by the local "peñas". This is the whole proccess. The size, btw, is more or less 176 cms. x 85 cms, or 69" x 33" inches: smg.photobucket.com/user/Roberto67/slideshow/Pancarta%20Jeep%20Willys%20MB%20-%201And yes, it´s for sale! 150 € or 200 USD, shipping included. As there´s no frame, it could be shipped in a tube or something like that. Cheers, and keep´em rolling!

And these´re some Xmas cards drawn for 2013-14. A WW2 Willys MB jeep, or just G503 vehicle: Another one, being driven by Santa: A postwar Willys CJ2A jeep: A Jeepster Commando C101, driven by the Three King: And these were drawn years ago, for several customers or just for fun: A Willys MB at the Bulge: Belgian SAS jeep, also at the Bulge: Free French 2nd Armored Division Leclerc, ETO 1944-45. This was printed and sent as card to several vets of this unit: The Basque "olentzero" and his donkey, "astotxo", in a Willys CJ3A: Another postwar Willys CJ2A jeep: Also, another Free French 2nd Armored Div. "Leclerc" jeep: Willys MB jeep. OK, ok! This time it could be a Ford GPW too!!! More Olive Drab rules!!! A red CJ2A for French bimontly magazine "4x4 Story Spécial Jeep". I´m currently working for them as cartoonist & illustrator, and here appear some of my characters , as "Elvis" the cat, "GPS" the dog, Jean-Ignace Watts (who´s a friend of mine!), Pierre Pinifarine, and me, with the grey hat, as Bob Autolite: Well, that´s all for the moment. Keep´em rolling!!!

Hi Lee & HG! Many thanks for your kindful comments! Yes, I have for sale several prints. Well, in fact, I have started to print some of my illustrations as old postcards. This is just a sample: Lee, if interested, you can contact me at robflores@robertoflores.com or through this forum. Now, I´m also drawing some tests with Adobe Illustrator, a vectorial graphics editor: I hope you´ll enjoy them! Keep´em rolling!!!

Hi HG!
At this moment, those are only the first tests, as I´m "investigating" the quality of the printing on the cardboard. Please, be patient!
And many thanks for your interest! Keep´em rolling!

Well, what I really need is as much as possible commissioned orders and so!!! He he he he! This is another comissioned artwork painted for a customer of "Dixie Division Military Vehicles Group", at Alabama. This one was painted as a gift for a friend who was a ´Nam vet, just as the customer. Ah! Look for the jeep!!! His friend was a pilot of helicopters, just as the one which appears at the drawing. Cheers and keep´em rolling!

Thanks a lot, Lee! This is another artwork with a "big stuff" on it, this time a Korean war era M26 Pershing tank, and a jeep behind it! It belongs to a series of 12 illustrations devoted to different eras tanks. This was a commissioned order to publish a calendar, but unfortunately after the customer lost any intereste on this project, the calendar-project is still sleeping at my workplace...ouch! Kindest regards, and keep´em rolling!
