I have to admit that I didn't like this image too much when I first did it for an AOPA article. I think it was the combination of the red sign and the blue of the attitude indicator that sort of clashed in my brain. But AOPA asked for rights to reuse it so much, that I guess those colors aren't so bad to others! (I also can't stand the light blue/brown color combination so unfortunately popular these days!) The topic was what to do when you lose your engine just after take-off. The answer is, of course, to push the yoke forward, so you don't lose airspeed and stall.

Engine-Out After Take-Off

My focus is 3D illustration and animation for flight instruction and other aviation purposes. Most of the work is for magazines, but some of it has made its way into training DVDs and online video. I'm a licensed pilot, which explains my interest, and also helps increase the technical accuracy of the work.
