ABOUT JAMES LYONS
Like most other artists I have been involved with creating art in one form or another for most of my life.
My mother got me started at a very young age when she taught me how to draw small airplanes dropping bombs on people(that should have been a clue!)
After a long stint in the Marine Corps that included combat in Operation Desert Storm, I went back to my art and started anew.
Needless to say as the years passed by my work improved. In my artistic pursuit I have worn many different hats. I have done both mechanical and architectural drafting, sculpture, both acrylic and oil painting, watercolor and now, finally, I have entered the magical realm of painting with pixels!
I have had a lot of encouragement along the way and I sincerely appreciate all the help, be it a kind word or tip on how to do something better or the support that I have from family and friends!
A larger body of my work can be found here: The Art of James Lyons
My biography wouldn't be complete without mentioning some of my artistic influences, in no particular order they would be: Larry Elmore, Toxicangel, Ravenheart, Royo, Todd Lockwood, Matt Stawicki, Nene Thomas & Clyde Caldwell

excellent rework of what i think is probably the best 3d spitfire model available, and thanks for the poem

My favorite plane! There's something about a spitfire that's kinda sleek and sexy. The clouds are nice, but I especially like the way the paint is worn where the panels meet.

Ann outstanding model and this poem has a special meaning for me. I had a friend who was a pilot instructor who was killed while teaching someone to fly. She was an amazing woman who wanted to fly and did. We had been friends all through school and as adults. I couldn't mourn her. How can you when someone dies doing something they love? Thanks for reminding me of this beautiful poem and of a lady who took big bites out of life! Lea
