Len, when you sell one of these pictures do you provide a 'potted history' of the action and who the protagonists are/were?

Mod

PS:
I just caught myself staring at the blank wall behind my PC monitor as I sit here typing this. Mmmmm :-? . I wonder if Mrs Mod and the girls fancy chipping in together for an early 65th birthday present :D

What I really like about this picture, as well as the dynamics of the subject, is the widescreen, almost landscape, aspect ratio. Or am I gibbering again :(


Yes, I definitely provide all the info for the people involved. I'm going to visit the pilot this weekend to get him to sign the original.

A very special deal to anyone from here of course if you'd like one :)

I ended up changing the aspect ratio at the last minute, I'm glad you like it.

Thanks everyone! Now to start on Don Laubman's.


Hi Len, will the pilot also be signing some 'limited edition' prints? ;)

The other Spitfire pilot at the top of this thread ;)

Ian - yes he'll be signing a few AP's as well. Also for every print, I have his signature reproduced with his permission. That's how I do all of them. At this age, it just isn't practical to have original signatures on all prints anymore.

Here's a bunch of pics from when I took the final version to see Doug and Don. Sure was great to talk to them. Doug, the pilot in this image is on the right.
