Artists On the Front Lines



Pictures by Michael Fay, "official Marine war artist." What a job title -- "war artist"! He does nice work. Check out the BBC story on him here.

Here is his blog -- lots of really interesting work by him and other artists.

Also check out Sgt. Kristopher Battles, "Sketchpad Warrior" here. What I like is that he shows , step by step, how the paintings are composed. Battles' commercial website is here. He's got some really nice stuff. I particularly like the landscapes.
