Choosing the right artwork for your home isn’t just about filling wall space—it’s about telling your story. Whether you’re a lifelong aviator, a warbird enthusiast, or someone who just loves the feel of raw horsepower and history in flight, the art you hang on your walls should reflect that passion.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve had the honor of photographing some of the most iconic aircraft in flight and on the ground. From the polished metal of a P-51 Mustang to the quiet simplicity of a Cessna 140, every image in my store was taken by me—at airshows, fly-ins, photo flights, and quiet sunrise moments on the ramp. These aren’t stock photos. They’re personal captures of machines I know, admire, and respect.
When you hang one of my prints, you’re supporting a small business and an individual creator. My work has been featured in Warbird Digest, Vertical 911, the Washington State Pilots Association, National Geographic Channel, Smithsonian Channel, and in the book Flying Warbirds: An Illustrated Profile of the Flying Heritage Collection's Rare WWII-Era Aircraft. It’s a privilege to now offer these moments to fellow enthusiasts who want a piece of that legacy in their homes.
Here’s how to choose the right style, size, and format for your space—and how each of my collections can help you do just that.
Start With Your Space
Think about where your print is going. Is it a cozy home office? A bold man cave? A bright entryway with natural light?
-
For small or narrow spaces, a 12x18 print in a wooden frame or acrylic is perfect. Clean, elegant, and not overpowering.
-
For larger walls, go big. A 20x30 aluminum or canvas print gives the subject breathing room and really makes a statement.
-
Framed canvas adds warmth and depth, ideal for vintage subjects and rustic décor.
-
Acrylic and aluminum prints bring a sleek, modern feel—perfect for jet-age speed and sharp lines.
Also think about lighting. Acrylic and aluminum prints have a glossy finish and pop with directional light. Canvas and matte paper have a softer look with more texture and no glare.

Pick a Subject That Speaks to You
Love warbirds? Check out my Vintage Military Collection. Every photo was taken by me—air-to-air, on the ground, or in action—over the last two decades. From the weathered skin of a B-17 to the curve of a Corsair’s gull wing, this is my tribute to the aircraft, the missions, and the people who keep history flying.
Prefer the speed and power of jets? My Modern Military Collection features afterburning fighters, tight formations, and jaw-dropping energy from shows and training ops across the country. All shot through my lens. No stock. No filler. Just raw airpower.
Into classic taildraggers and golden age charm? The Vintage Civilian Collection showcases Champs, Cubs, Swifts, and Stinsons in the kind of light you only find at golden hour. These are the backbone of grassroots aviation—captured in flight, on grass strips, and at small-town fly-ins.
Looking for today’s general aviation? The Modern Civilian Collection (still being populated) brings you modern GA aircraft like Cessnas, RVs, and bush planes—often captured air-to-air. I’ve flown photo missions in everything from a Piper Cub to a Vans RV-8, photographing aircraft like the Cessna 140, 170, 172, 182, Cardinal, Stearman, Howard DGA-15, Globe Swift, T-6 Texan, Bearcat, and even the P-51B Mustang.
Want aviation design that’s more graphic and bold? Head over to the Acrylic Collection for aircraft profile art, clean logo designs, and bold silhouettes. Perfect for hangar walls, offices, or the garage.
Looking for something really bold? The Metal Art Prints Collection delivers maximum impact with my aviation-inspired designs printed on tough aluminum panels. These are built to last and easy to mount.
In Summary
Choosing the right aviation art is part taste, part story, and part space planning. Here’s the quick cheat sheet:
-
Tight on space? Go 12x18.
-
Big empty wall? Go 20x30.
-
Want a warm, textured feel? Canvas.
-
Want vivid color and sleek edges? Acrylic or metal.
-
Want timeless class? Framed matte print.
-
Want to show off your love of aviation with real soul? Pick a subject that speaks to your journey.
When you shop from me, you’re not just buying a photo. You’re getting a moment I captured in flight, with care, from one aviator to another.
