Can't do it. There's a limit on the size of the pics that can be posted. It's a real challenge for me to resize them so I can post them here.

It's much easier for me to email them to people, as I can copy and past them right into the email, only takes a few seconds.

Anyone who wants to check out some of my work, give me your email addresses, and I can send it right to you.

My prints are $20 or under (everyone here will get a nice deal). If you buy a couple, I'll throw freebies in.

As you can see, some of the downloads come out tiny, others are as big as a house. Bleep-ing computers drive me nuts!!!

Jimd,

Great stuff. I remember the last time you posted some pics. I love the one of the lighthouse. That's a great piece.

The first pic, is that a P-51? What did you draw that one with?

The lighthouse one.....drawn in charcoal?

Keep it up. Those are nice bro.

David, the P51 I drew at work on some of my downtime while standing post. I drew it with a regular ball-point pen.

The lighthouse was drawn with pencil. I draw in pencil at home, mostly. At work, I use ball-point pen, and have developed a technique in which I can shade effectively and get decent results. When time permits, I'm going to get into colored pencils more, as well.

Jimd,

Thanks for the answers. Great stuff.

If you want to consider posting the pics elsewhere and putting a link here you could always give Image Shack a try. It's easy and fast.

A ball point pen?!! W :eek: W!!! I remember when I was into comic books and this Marvel artist named Jim LEE came out doing the X-Men. I could do his style on a "pen only" basis...But NO way would I ever be able to do a drawing of a plane like the one you did. I think only a few people could do that...you are blessed bro!!!

Slap some of that on Tshirts...WooHoo...$$$$$$$$!!!

God bless :cool:

Cool work Jimd,

I'd too would love to see that P-51 on imageshack, and the lighthouse. It looks like they make things bigger than the thumbnail if you click on the thumbnail.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
