Client Stories

We handle around dozens clients in a year but this is a memorable ones.

The bomber

This was one of my earliest commissions, created for an Air Force officer who wanted a meaningful family keepsake. He asked me to recreate his great-grandfather's World War II bomber pin-up art but envisioned in a more refined style. Drawing inspiration from Alberto Vargas, the renowned pin-up artist, I reimagined the piece with a polished, vintage aesthetic that honored its history.
