Hi All,

I'm new to this board, and I'm curious as to how many of you collect aviation art? I'm an illustrator who is attempting to make a go in this field, and I'm trying to determine who might be interested in the kind of work I do? I recently launched an online business that showcases my aviation art, called PlaneGrafx.

PlaneGrafx offers aviation enthusiasts highly customized, gallery-quality profile art of famous military aircraft. Choices include having one's name under the canopy, aircraft numerical designation, ordnance loadout, a stylized airplane name, and more. Each matted and framed print measures 11.5" x 21.5", and uses museum-grade conservatory materials.

My first aircraft is the F4U Corsair, featuring three different variants and six paint schemes, plus a non-custom Ace Series that includes Boyington, Kepford, Hedrick and Walsh.

The next profile due to be released this summer is the F-4J Phantom II.

I'd appreciate any feedback that can be given. I realize I may be addressing a niche market, and defining it has proven to be challenging, so far.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

I have quite a collection of aviation art and photography collected off the internet on my hard-drive and set to run as a slide show in Windows ME. I would recommend that you offer CD's of aircraft art and photographs in addition to prints, etc. I imagine that you could incorporate a slide show and index into the CD format that would require no set-up by the user.

Thanks for the reply, E-Challenged.

Bear in mind though, that what I'm offering is personalized aviation art. My business is not a gallery per se, but rather original, fine artwork offered direct to the client, by me, the artist.
