There are many impressive aircraft I have seen while working at The Daily Planet. However, there are few as impressive as the Lockheed C5 Galaxy. Back in July of 2022, this aircraft visited The Reno Tahoe International Airport. I believe it was on its way to Alaska (or so they say…). Anyways, as I said, it was a very impressive aircraft. One of the most impressive things about this particular aircraft is the sheer bulk. This aircraft is huge. Another thing that impressed me was the design (i.e., the lines). As I mentioned a few blogs ago, when I look at an aircraft I don't see a technical, aerodynamic design, I see the personality of the aircraft. In contrast, when I look at a human being, I see a caricature. (Hmmm…there’s probably some counseling needed there??). That's probably another reason why I choose to work with aircraft as a side gig, as opposed to working with the public (although the artist side of my un-diagnosed multi-personality disorder likes working with the public…go figure).
Anyways (what was I talking about??) oh yes, the C5 GALAXY! Below you will find the actual photo I took of the Galaxy last year and the drawing that was inspired by the aircraft. The original drawing is available at the Michael Hopkins Caricatures Online Store. The photograph is available in my phone.
While I have your attention, I'm offering the banner ad space on my blog (see above) for a fabulous rate. If anyone is interested, contact me at scribblesisme@yahoo.com and we'll work out a sweet deal for you (*hint - I'm new at selling ad space on my blog, so you may be able to take advantage of my perceived naiveté)
To end this blog, I'd like to say that I feel like my brain is splitting in half (where'd that come from?!?!). The right side is being logical (which is contrary to scientific beliefs) while my left side just wants to draw pictures or fall asleep and dream about drawing pictures…and in the middle, there's just an expanding void. Nothingness.
'till next time…
