Nose Art going digital

[TheMustangRider]

I found this digital paintings while surfing on the internet some days ago and although their creator was not a dedicated WWII aviation artist, he did a superb job with these using photoshop.

They look so thrilling!

Alas the artist is dead. They were a big hit among the Il2 crowd.

Oh, Glen Angus 1970-2007.
Great loss of great talent...

Some of the warbird owners have gone with decals instead of actual painted nose art these days.

I agree with you Shinpachi.
It's very sad to see talented artists go when they are still so young; you can't stop to think of what kind of paintings that they would have created later in their years is forever lost.

Echoing Rochie's post, here are the remaining paintings that I managed to find.
They are part of a collection of paintings he called "Victory Gal Series", Glen Angus was truly a gifted artist.

Here's a link to Glen Angus' art blog. CGPortfolio - Glen Angus It has some of his work on it. I don't know what percentage of it is there, it may be all of it but I kinda doubt it.

Anyone know if you can buy those as prints anywhere? Or any website that would make it into a poster?

He mentioned on his CG portfolio that he sold them as prints, but since he passed away some years ago; I really don't know who might have the rights to sell them.
