Description: WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND COUNTRY THE ARTIST - JOHN D. SHAW John D. Shaw has pursued his art and graphics career since 1985. Born in 1961, this native of Carson City, Nevada has always maintained an interest in creating both fine and commercial art. As an illustrator, Shaw has created artwork for a variety of clients such as Lucasfilms Ltd., Kellogg's, Major League Baseball, Coast Federal Bank of California, etc. Shaw's work took a major new emphasis in 1993, when he began creating paintings with an historical aviation theme. With special attention to the World War II era, his depictions of these aircraft, people and their missions have won national awards. Each limited-edition lithograph is an actual piece of documented history bearing MULTIPLE ORIGINAL SIGNATURES of some of America's most celebrated aviation heroes. Names from World War II's most famous groups, such as The Flying Tigers, Band of Brothers Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders, The Black Sheep Squadron, Tuskegee Airmen, American 'Eagle' Squadrons and Mercury Astronauts, personally endorse each of these collectible and valuable pieces of history. All Editions have an Image Area of 30" X 15.5" Gold Edition-At least 27-30 Reno racing pilot signatures Silver Edition-At least 16-26 signatures Bronze Edition-At least 5-6 signatures Open (Unlimited) Edition-Signed by artist only Poster Canvas Giclee-: custom embellished"Reno Gold - The 1st Half Century" Currently available as an open “Unlimited” edition lithograph and limited edition canvas giclée. In September 2015, a Limited Edition lithograph edition will be available, personally signed by Reno Air Race pilots representing the exciting first century heritage of the National Championship Air Races at Reno. A smaller format display poster version of this painting may also be available at this time as well. In 1964, the roar of high performance warbirds echoed over the high desert landscape at Stead Air Force Base in the very first Reno Air Race. Shown in this ‘heritage’ scene is an assortment of Unlimited Class racers, representing the first 50 years of this exciting annual September event. Consisting of stock and modified warbirds and “purpose-built” propeller-driven aircraft, many speed records have been set and broken over the years, thrilling audiences who flock from locations all around the globe to witness the fastest piston show on Earth. Aircraft shown in painting, from top to right, clockwise: Ol’ Yeller, Strega, Smirnoff Bearcat, Conquest I, Bardahl Miss, Rare Bear, Dago Red, Precious Metal, Czechmate, Miss America, Tsunami, Dreadnought, Critical Mass, September Fury, Super Corsair, Voodoo, White Lightnin’, Miss Van Nuys, Miss Merced, Miss Ashley, Red Baron, Ridge Runner, Pond Racer, Jeannie All Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered (S/N) by the artist and include a Certificate of Authenticity. Limited Edition prints are restricted to a certain number. For example, if 400 prints are made from an original painting, once they’re gone, that’s it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. That’s why Limited Edition prints are more expensive — and more valuable to collectors — than "open" edition. Rare objects are more valuable. An Artist’s Proof (AP), generally, is the first 10% of the Limited Edition prints that come off the press. If the Limited Edition is 400 s/n, there would be 40 APs. This status is noted on the print. Collectors prefer APs because their value increases even more than a Limited Edition as time goes by. All Limited Edition artwork is subject to availability at time of order. Although seller strives to remain current as to inventory, seller reserves the right to cancel a sale if item is no longer available at time of purchase. Visit Our eBay Store: Airplanes and more
