Her are a couple additional illustrations. Based on a quick look of Mr. Arifman's projects, it appears they are well done.
Roberto writes, both have been commissioned by Mr. Firman A. Arifman, from Indonesia. He´s a Willys jeep restorer and his company is called “Reborn Workshop”, located at Yakarta. This is its Facebook website:

UPDATE: Other than checking emails and comments, I will likely be away from the site until Sunday. Everyone enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Here's a republished post form 2018:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
If you'd like a nice story to read this Thanksgiving, you can try an article about Durwood J. Smith. The story contains both a jeep and a Thanksgiving memory on the Western Front (see Durwood's pic below) ... do you know how hard that combo is to find?? If not for Roberto Flores, we wouldn't even have art depicting jeeps and turkeys together!!
Thanksgiving on the Western Front
Roberto has created some CJ-3A T-shirts. I'm going to purchase one. If you are interested in getting one, then lets work out a way of splitting the shipping. Just add a comment if you are interested in getting one.

Roberto Flores shared with us a recent commissioned drawing he did of a CJ-3A. As I told him, it's always nice to see the details of a jeep drawn by someone who has worked on one. Below it is an image of Roberto and his project.
The Bantam Festival is nearly here. Below is an update. Click on it for more info.
I ran across the below Collage and thought it would make an interesting post to group some of the collages I've run across.
From Ensarf.com comes this Bob Facklam Print. It is signed and numbered. Price is $19.85:
Tim Dolan and I were selling these. I haven't reordered any.
This is a neat illustration I saw at the WAAAM Museum by Yasuo Ohtsuka called "The Jeep . . . A Concise History"
Here are a couple from Roberto Flores:
Roberto Flores found this 70 year-old photo from VE day.
Roberto Flores has an older illustration he'd like to share with us (thanks!). I managed to find a self-taken snapshot of myself, a handsome lad (well, that's what mom always said) of 21 years, in a similar situation. I knew approximately where I was (in southeastern washington), but didn't know exactly where I was, even with the help of the map and signs (pomerey, shown on the sign at the bottom, isn't exactly a big town). So, I just tried driving with the early morning sun to my left so that I'd be heading south. Truth be told, I love being lost :-)
Here's Roberto's drawing.
Here's me, circa early November, 1985:
If you are a regular reader of the CJ-3B page, you have likely seen Roberto's drawings and maybe saw his CJ-3B, too. At CJ-3A.com you'll see his work at the top left. If you haven't, I've add a few images of his drawings and his jeeps below for your enjoyment. You can find Roberto in a variety of places on the internet, including his own website, his blog, another blog and online store. He lives in Spain, but I think is recognized, at least by old school Willys lovers, world-wide. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Here's some pics of Roberto's CJ-3B and I believe that's his CJ-3A (I didn't get any info on that)?
Here are some of Roberto's drawings.
The first is a comic for "4x4 Story Magazine Spécial Jeep" issue 26, Mai-Juin 2009. It is a French bimonthly magazine, based on the adventures of collectors and restorers of jeeps. Original size, 21 cms. x 14,8 cms.
This is a commissioned drawing ordered cartoon for a French customer, over cardboard. The characters which appear on this are the customer, driving his Willys jeep "Follow Me", from WW2. He´s accompanied by his wife and son. Acrylics over carboard. Dimmenssions: 42 x 29.7 cms.
This is a logo drawn for a page on jeep Willys MB/Ford GPW of World War II. Pencil and computer on paper.

Roberto forwarded his latest drawing to me. I think he had a lot of fun drawing this one!
He wrote, "It´s a a cartel or poster drawn for the 18th International Meeting of Classic Military Vehicles of the Guixaró 2012, Catalonia, Spain, organized by the Classic Motor Club of the Bages, Catalonia, Spain. I call it "Where is Willys?"...Obviously, after the influence of "Where´s Wally?" art."
