Earlier this year one of the greatest milbloggers, WO1 Mike Fay, the senior Marine Combat Artist, sustained a catastrophic hacking attack on his blog, Fire & Ice, that forced it to shut down. I’m pleased to say that it has risen again. Go forth and browse, and you will find a truly singular talent at work. Mike puts the “combat” in Combat Artist.
Now promoted to CWO2, Mike continues the fight on canvas as well as in cyberspace. He’ll be exhibiting his work at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA, from 7 July to 21 October. Folks, make time to see his paintings and drawings in person. Bring the kids.
BTW, also be sure to check out Mike’s compatriots, LtCol (sel) Alex Durr and Sgt Kris “King of” Battles. They both did tours in Iraq, and produced some truly memorable pieces.
This is a detail from an oil on canvas version of Mike’s charcoal drawing, “Guardian Angel.”
My in-laws live in Bucks County not too far from Doylestown, we’ll definitely be making a road trip to the museum later this summer.
