Yesterday it was my acrylic ink profile of 'Küken' Hubrich's Albatros D.Va from 1918. Today it's my profile (from the same 'In Different Skies' series) of his Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 that Hubrich was flying 22 years later in 1940.
No cute chick and egg painted on the side of this one!

It was a very late, wild and messy pre-birthday night, last night, but unlike those of my younger days (🥳🍾🍸🍷🍹🍺💃🎉), the reason was a very poorly Princess Pickle Pooch having a severe IBD attack in a top floor apartment 😞😵💫🥴
Thankfully she's now sleeping soundly, bless her little heart... 🤞🤞🤞

A bit of art to start the weekend.
Albatros D.Va of Gerhard 'Küken'(Chick) Hubrich, Marine-Feld-Jagdstaffel IV, 1918.
Hubrich was a German fighter pilot during both the First AND the Second World Wars - I'll post (skeet?) my profile of his Bf 109 E-4 tomorrow.
All of my profiles are acrylic ink.

Here's a bit of art for today: my von Ribbentrop Panzer IV profile in acrylic ink, painted a few years back for a British magazine about German military history.
For anyone new to following me, I very much enjoy painting things with gears/levers/springs/valves/rivets/sprockets/twiddly bits/etc.

Received an email, yesterday, from a chap who had ordered an Eric Lock Spitfire mug. Turns out he'd ordered it as a gift for his 92 year old father whose cousin married Eric in July 1940, 13 months before he was lost. Brought a tear to my eye. Happy that my artwork makes connections down the years.
