Here's a great Holiday drawing! You can see the full version at Jan's website, http://www.jwdeboer.nl, or via this link.
Roberto was kind enough to share some new artwork with us. Thanks!
""Giant&Kids" is a graffitti painted for a bar in its facade (exterior or outside pizarre) for accompaning the daily menu during the San Fermin "fiesta" at my hometown.Look for the flattie! ;-))
"JEEP" is a t-shirt which I hope it´ll available in a few days through my online shop or just directly dropping an e-mail to me. Obviously, the design is a Jeepster Commando C-101.
"BD384x4Story" is one of my comics for French magazine "4x4Story Spécial Jeep, with some of the characters: Pierre Pinifarine and his dog "GPS", Francine Overland (the girl), Jean-Ignasi Cardan and his cat "Elvis", Bob Autolite (that´s me...more or less!) and the jeeps, obviously! Although I´m still questioning me the name of some characters!!!"
Roberto Flores shared this image from another group of an older jeep pulling floats. The hardtop is unusual and was usually seen in Europe, but it's my guess that this was taken in California somewhere. I was able to use Google search to locate the same pic on Jalopy Journal.
Roberto Flores spotted a CJ-2A in the movie Flight from Ashiya. It´s a 1964 movie about the US Air Force Rescue Service with Yul Brynner, Richard Widmark, George Chakiris, Suzie Parker, Shirley Knight and Danièle Gaubert.
All 142 minutes is on Youtube. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Roberto reports you can see the CJ-2A at 40:44 and again at 42:04.
Roberto Flores forwarded these resin model kids. I am unfamiliar with the sellers or the product.

Roberto Flores shared this magazine ad, reprinted in a book.
Roberto wrote: "I have just scanned this image from “The American Jeep in War and Peace”, by Kurt Willinger and Gene Gurney, Crown Publishers. I love the image: at least for me it depicts my idea of jeep: adventure, freedom, friendship, nature… Although I have been searching for this at the net, I couldn´t find it."
I'm taking the evening off. I spent all weekend working on my book. The proof is ready to be printed. I ought to receive a couple proof copies next week so I can begin making final changes and correcting errors :-)
Roberto shared his newest illustration that depicts a cat driving a jeep. My cats prefer to snuggle up in the seats and sleep (if they can get into the garage).
Roberto Flores has these two new mini-canvases for sale. Contact him at robflores@robertoflores.com.
He also gave some context on the MB canvas. He wrote,
"The Willys MB is the jeep of capitaine Raymond Dronne, commanding officer of “La Nueve” or 9th company III Battaillon Régiment de Marche du Tchad, 2nd Free French armored division Leclerc, or 2éme DB Leclerc. Most of the them of this elite unit were Spaniards ex-Republican soldiers, who fought as mounted infantry in half-tracks. The history behind these men was incredible. Some years ago I had the chance to write with some of them and at least visit one of them at France, were I realized the sacrifice they paid for a better world. This unit, “La Nueve”, called in Spanish because the number of Spanish volunteers soldiers who formed it, was the first to entered Paris in 24th August 1944, with several M4 medium Shermans from 501e RCC and another support vehicles (I think 3 half-tracks) from an engineer unit of the 2éme DB."
You can see the Raymond Dronne character at the 2:09 mark in this film by Renné Clement!
