    Smile Submarine Art

    I can't even remember the last time I posted to this forum although I refer to it a lot and love the banter and talent that exists here. As a Xara user since 1995, I have come to love the program for all that it can do. A retired US Navy Submariner, I recently went on a drawing binge to create some drawings of subs I was on and ship's logos and seals. Here are a couple of my drawings just to share. Looking forward to your comments!

    These are just snapshots of some of the stuff I am doing. I am offering some items on mugs shirts as well as customizable prints through an account on Zazzle.com. In my travels - I have found that all of the sites offering similar items with ships crests are simply using scans of the various ships patches that don't render in print as well as clean vector images. I am hoping to reproduce a great number of ships crests using Xara so I can offer folks items with clean images.

    Nice work there Randy. Is there that much red at the bottom of the hull? I've never noticed before.

    And might I add, well done to you Sir for being a Submariner! One hell of a job!

    Thanks for the compliments! The majority of a sub's hull is underwater and the bottom half of all the subs I was on were painted with red anti-fouling paint to inhibit marine growth. You will not easily observe this from above because most of it is below the waterline when the ship is surfaced.

    A wonderful job here. The submarine is very well done.

    Very well drawn Randy.

    Submariners are a breed apart.
    My best friend when I was stationed in California was a former submariner. That was in the early 1970s. Jim Justice is his name.
