Hello Bomber Girl
Fans.
Goal number one:
Finish my Bomber Girl T-shirt design and find a way to get them printed.
-The shirt has been designed with the new logo and I haven't finished the
-art end of it yet, but will within the next month.
I really hope my illustration and painting
abilities have improved during
the hiatus. I've been really working hard at it.
Goal number two:
Begin working on finishing the backdrop art for Bomber Girl II poster.
-The model and crew I used for this particular shot put a lot of work into
it and I
-at least need to see to it that it gets done so they can see their work.
Goal number three:
Continue adding and updating this site. I need to finish it out so everyone
that
-visits can have the full experience. There's nothing worse than a barely
completed
-web site. I need to stay on it till it's totally done. I hope I've rested
enough for that.
Goal number four:
Commit to the commercialization of this web site. If I keep it as a hobby,
that's exactly
what it will remain. Instead, I will try to run it as a business and try to
make an
operating profit in order to keep it going (now that is a tall order in this
economy).
Goal number five:
Try to finish answering all this e-mail. There's ton's of it.
I may drop the e-mail link for awhile till I catch up. Everyone deserves an
answer.
Goal number six:
Do the site as I envision it. Nose art was pretty risque back in the world
war II
days, still it's important to preserve that raciness and at the same time,
keep it
from becoming what I would call more or less, an "adult site."
Goal number seven:
Even though the focus is on World War II, also include contemporary nose art
not only from the United States, but from other countries as well.
Goal number eight:
Include lots of aircraft! I don't see myself as a good aircraft illustrator,
but I
think I can make it more interesting. Your input will be appreciated.
Goal number nine:
Highlight one of the Bomber Girls.
It's nice to know a little about those models who have helped make this
happen.
I also hope that the photography will be good enough to compliment the
models.
And most important, the artwork must be world-class too. My pin-up page has
been the most anticipated part of the web site and I still haven't figured
out the
format I want to use.
Goal ten:
Have fun! I think, somewhere down the line, I forgot I was doing this to
have fun.
Well, I think I've remembered now and will not forget this time. The
mission, stick
to my roots. Stay with the things that allowed me to do this in the first
place.
My love of Pin-Up art, comic books, special effects movies, airplanes and
photography.
Bomber Girl is the integration of all these hobbies channeled into one web
site.
My hope is that I can do all this during the new year and finish the
majority of
it by fall so this site can go commercial 100%. I might as well make this
a
commercial site. No, I will not be charging some kind of membership. I just
want to be able to concentrate on creating products for people to buy. |
Nose Art Classifications
One of my goals has been to somehow create
a database of nose art names and images. I don't know if it'll ever be
accomplished, but I did come up with some categories to help with the
classification of this art form. The categories are:
Pin Up Art
Cartoon Art
Chevrons
Graffiti
Pop Culture
Slogans The categories will be linked
with basic descriptions as soon as I come up with some satisfactory ones for
myself.
I will try to use these as much as possible with identifying icons so the
information will be consistent across the web site. If you have better ideas
and suggestions please feel free to
e-mail
me and list them. Thank you for your
support. |
