We all need a breather after yesterday's post!
So here's a simple one. Smithsonian magazine has a new Fall newsstand issue devoted to the U.S. Civil War. It includes my cutaway paintings comparing the CSS Virginia (Merrimack) to the USS Monitor.

Great Stuff James. I'd love to hear about your process and the time frames involved in something so accurate.
I agree with Armand. I would love to hear about the process... How does one go about a project like this one?
I had to laugh at 122 comments. I guess you have a following!!! I love this site. Melody
if i may go off topic, what are the dimensions of the two world of dinosaurs postage stamp paintings?
Daryl, As I recall, each scene was roughly 8 x 24 inches. They had to be small enough to fit on a rotary drum scanner.
Armand and Daniel, thanks for asking. I'll mull that one over for a future post. It was a long process!
How much are drum scanners still used today for illustration purposes?
