WWII Veteran Portrait Project

Most of my time these days is spent drawing or interviewing World War II veterans.  I have completed over 150 so far and the complete collection will be exhibited at the Morris Graves Museum of Art this coming August.  In addition to the portraits and exhibit, there will be a catalog and prints available.

Visit my other blog:  www.VeteranPortraits.blogspot.com to see recent drawings.  I am also launching a dedicated Facebook Page Faces of American Heroes.  Please  Like the page for news on the project and series.  I'll be posting new drawings and interviews weekly.
