Ontos's Photos

[GrauGeist]

Awesome shots of the Hawks, Merv...you're in your groove with that camera...also like the B&W photos

And cool deal with the channel 5 helo...it's been a million years since I've watched TV in SoCal (we had 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 back then) and not sure why, but that reminds me of Bruce Wayne who used to fly a helo for KFI doing traffic reports for years. Also remember when he crashed in Fullerton back in '86 (not in a helo, but an airplane)

Nice catches. The lighting was really great for the UPS plane!

You should make a calendar / book from those Hawk shots !. Nicely done !

I made it to a car show at my mothers assisted living complex awhile back, proceeds went to the fight against breast cancer. It was drizzling and overcast so the shots are on the Grey side Hope you enjoy them.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love the tommy gun in the squad car.

Thanks VB, I thought that was cool too. They had some really great paint jobs on those cars. One guy wanted to sell me his 57 Ranchero, but I wanted the yellow Chevy

Nice shots!

Thanks all for your comments, we had a great car show at the Palm Springs Air Museum last weekend, I hope to post the photos soon. Thought I would post a couple of old custom car drawings I just finished, the second I got from the last issue of SRP magazine, just thought I would give it a try in vector.

You have the awesome talent about controlling lines and colors freely that I wanted to have but could not.
I always love your work, Merv

 

[Gnomey]

Nice ones Merv!

Thank you Shinpachi and Gnomey for your kind comments, the rims are the hardest for me, to try and get a chrome look is time consuming. Thank you Shinpachi, I am just getting my feet wet in using a vector program, I wish I could do the work you can do in 3D, just fantastic. Cheers

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Very nice Merv, those are sharp sir!!

 

[ontos]

Thanks Aaron, I'm glad you enjoyed them. Here is one I just finished, an I-16 Vs a Fiat G-50.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Very nicely done sir! I do wish I had the knowledge and patience to do that.

 

[Shinpachi]

A very nice work.

 

[Wayne Little]

Top stuff Merv!

Great job on the I-16, Merv! Palm Springs Air Museum is a great museum with some fantastic folks that works there. They host the T-34s every year for their annual fly-in and the ramp and safety crew are great, as are all the staff at the museum that assist us any way they can.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like my work, it inspires me to do more. Here are the shots I took at the Palm Springs Air Museum and car show.

Neat stuff, Merv. I usually see the ramp crammed with T-34s, so it's neat to see all the cars.
