Full shaded commission for @ask-swing-rhythm. Thanks so much!

While I’m not really that good at any sort of art, one of my hobbies I figured I’d share with my few followers is my hobby of painting up leather jackets like WWII aviator’s jackets. The first two pictures are of my own personal jacket.

Welcome!

Welcome to the new tumblr ask blog for Swing Rhythm and the many other characters featured in The Rhythm of Love.

Me again, if you could go to any fictional place,where would you go? Also, I'm going to make a tunblr account later today, so I don't have to stay anonymous

Oh, that's a tough one. Especially with a lot of fictional places being real (seeing all of Luna's papers teaches you things) so that's a hard one to answer. I'd have to say Florida. Everyone knows that place can't be real with all the news reports about there.

Today on Random Ass Texts from my Mom, there’s this...

I know it doesn't really fit with my blog but I really liked this picture I took while riding in an old WWII torpedo bomber that was flying in formation with a B-25J Mitchell. Thought maybe someone else would like to see it too

Finally decided to try out my new sketchbook I got way back at Christmas so I drew the boxing eagle mascot for a WWII fighter squadron. Turned out pretty good, even if I did have some problems with the legs...

A rare sight to behold and it's now part of my collection. During WWII the United States Navy experimented with the idea of issuing garrison caps for the dungaree uniforms that could be interchangeable with the traditional dixie cup caps. The plan was eventually shelved and would never be considered again and officially died with the retirement of the dungaree uniforms in the 1990s. That wasn't to say that these caps didn't see use though. Much like the early Ike jackets, these were custom items that the sailor would have to pay for himself. They followed the same pattern as other US Navy and US Marine Corps garrison caps and fit well with the uniforms worn while at sea. These are extremely uncommon and this is actually the first time I've ever seen one in person. Knowing what it was and the fact it was only $4, I quickly snatched it up and now proudly have it in my collection with my US Navy Lieutenant's garrison cap.

Any Requests?

Just to try and make my blog a little bit more lively, does anyone have any requests for stuff they want to see? More aviation posts or my military collection? Anything really?

Our WWII TBM Avenger torpedo bomber flying over while our Jeep fires blanks at the “bogey” from a .50 caliber. The “blanks” are a mixture of oxygen and propane being burned in rapid, short bursts to replicate how it would fire if active.
