Ted Has A Date With Sally B At Flying Legends

Ted gets to grips at the business end with Sally B at Flying Legends

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ted Has A Date With Sally B At Flying Legends

So we are back home recovering from a long three days at the Flying Legends airshow. All the orders we took have been processed and will be with their respective buyers early next week. Thanks again guys n gals, your trade and support is much appreciated!

Ted had a great time at the Flying Legends with his personal highlight being a date with B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B!! That bear gets around, last visit to Duxford he gets a flight in a C-47 Skytrain!

Many thanks to Andrew and Geraldine for arranging this![/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”teds-date-with-sally-b-at-flying-legends”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Great Flying Display

As usual, the flying display was pretty good, although the weather did prevent a couple of displays. My personal favourite aircraft were the Avenger and Sea Fury – both very impressive. The famous Duxford ‘Tail Chases’ were a little thin on the ground. I’m not sure if this was to do the changes imposed by the CAA in response to Shoreham or simply there being insufficient aircraft?

Unusually for the Flying Legends, a modern fighter made an appearance in the shape of the USAF  F-22 Raptor. The Raptor flew with a P-51 in the USAF Heritage flight display. I have seen many F-22 aircraft at Nellis but this was the first display I have seen and it was pretty impressive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Crowds A Little Thin

From our viewpoint, although sales were healthy, the crowds did seem thin on the ground. I suppose this was to be expected as the event clashed with RIAT at Fairford, the British Grand Prix and some funny game with yellow balls in South London.

Hopefully there will be a nice healthy crowd when we return in September!

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Image Theft

Here is an interesting discussion point. What are your thoughts on image theft by people taking photos of artwork? I am getting increasing numbers of people innocently walking into the stall and covertly taking pictures. This activity was rife at Flying Legends.

I don’t know why people would do that as much better quality images can be had from this site and even better quality pictures can be bought there and then! I stop most people and they seem annoyed I intervene and prevent them taking photos. I wouldn’t mind so much if they were up front and said ‘great picture I want to share it on social media’ and gave us a mention.

Is it theft? Would people expect to walk into an art museum or exhibition and snap away unchallenged?

I am always on the lookout for image infringement and people who use my pictures illegally. To a certain extent it is part and parcel of the online world, but surely it is something more sinister in the physical world?

What really annoys me is this increasing clandestine photography of my artwork.

What are your thoughts? Is it acceptable or is there a limit to what can be ‘had for free’?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Next Up – War and Peace Revival

So, after that mini-rant, it’s time to look forward to next weeks War and Peace Revival Show. 5 solid days of the best military vehicles, living history and battle re-enactments to be found. We are very much looking forward to this show, which will be our first time attending. If you are at the show then drop by our stall located at C21 and say hi![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”17845″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://warandpeacerevival.com/”][vc_column_text]Thanks for reading, please leave your thoughts on the image theft issues I discussed and see you at War and Peace!

GDMK Images June 2016 Update

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

GDMK Images June 2016 Update

Just before we dash off for the NYMRs 70s diesel Gala and Cosford airshows this weekend, I wanted to give a quick update on whats happening in the GDMK Images world. Firstly you can find out about the wall art, digital painting and gifts updates or jump to the editorial pictures update

I think the cover picture sums up June so far in the UK!![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Wall Art Pictures and Digital Paintings

I have released several new pictures and digital paintings over the last couple of weeks. I have been working through the thousands of pictures taken on our tedontourusa trip. These are being added slowly to my Alamy Editorial collection with a smaller amount added to the wall art galleries.

Gift Products

I have been trying out different suppliers for my gift products. I am really happy with my chosen suppliers, new and old. These suppliers are, as you would expect, providing top quality products. You might find things slightly cheaper elsewhere, but I am confident you wont find this quality, of both pictures and products, at our prices.[/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”GDMK-Images-2016-Picture-and-Gift-Update”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”june-2016-editorial-upicture-update”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Editorial Pictures

Pictures from the recent America trip are being added to my Alamy collection. The collection is broken down into lightboxes based on subject matter i.e. aircraft, railways, urban, people etc.

Currently I have been adding scenes from New York and a visit to Fort Lauderdale airport.

All the latest editorial pictures can be found in my latest editorial pictures lightbox

Future Editorial Picture Updates

Over the summer I will be adding more editorial pictures from the USA trip which will include

  • city scenes of New York and San Francisco
  • Pacific Coast Highway including Monterey, Morro Bay and related travel scenes
  • Road trip pictures from Route 66, Barstow, Mojave National Reserve, Highway 166
  • Airplane pictures from Las Vegas and Fort Lauderdale
  • plus many others including Maho Beach, Puerto Rico and some nice abandoned Americana scenes

Keep checking back or subscribe to hear about new releases.

[/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”GDMK-Images-2016-Editorial-Picture-Update”][vc_column_text]

June, July and August

We have lots of shows coming up after this weekends NYMR 70s Diesel Gala and Cosford Airshow (which are perfect opportunities to get some awesome last minute Fathers Day presents!!).

We will be at the Lincolnshire County Show, Nene Valley Railway Mail Event, Derby Night Market, Flywheel Festival and Flying Legends in the coming weeks so there is plenty of chances to come and say hi – even if its only to see Ted!

Anyway, times ticking and we need to be on the road towards beautiful Yorkshire. If you are going to be at the North Yorks Moors Railway on Friday or Saturday or Cosford airshow on Sunday come and say hi – we love to meet our subscribers!

Thanks for reading and all the best

Ted Goes Flying At Duxford

GDMK Images lucky mascot #Ted before his airshow display ride on C47 Dakota N147DC at the American Airshow 2016

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ted Goes Flying at Duxford American Airshow 2016

We are just back from a fantastic weekend at the American Airshow at the IWM Duxford.

The American Airshow 2016 was a good event. There was lots of great flying (well the bits I got to see were very impressive). It seems the crowd numbers were down – a result of the advance ticket policy? I know a lot of people without tickets were turned away from the gates.

From our perspective it was a successful weekend despite the low crowd numbers.

I launched a new digital painting of Spitfire MkIX MK356 which was very well received by visitors.

We had a blast chatting to those visiting our art stall. Many became customers and bought something – its great to see your own personal work leaving for a new home.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”gdmk-images-art-stall-american-airshow-duxford-2016″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ted Gets a C-47 Dakota Flight

The highlight of the event for us was Ted making a new friend called Loon. Loons guardians, Andrew and Geraldine, dropped by the stall when they saw a black and white picture for sale on our stall. It turns out it was a picture of their steed for the weekend – C47A Dakota N147DC. After a lovely chat, they invited Ted to fly in the Dakota during the display on Saturday! Well what could we say? Before we knew it Ted was off and away for his VIP trip. I am sooo jealous of that little bear!!!!

July 2016 Update – little did we know that Ted would go one better at flying legends by getting a date with B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B!![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”ted-goes-flying”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Interesting Discussion Generated

My Vulcan digital art picture is always a popular picture wherever I go. As this was our first airshow, it was particularly interesting to listen to the knowledgeable airshow photographers who stopped by. Much discussion was had on whether it was a photograph or art. Even more discussion focussed on its merits as art. Some questioned why someone would sell a badly blurred photo. Others were commending a stunning piece of aviation artwork. It was very entertaining overhearing the banter between friends when opinions differed!

I’m glad the picture does exactly what art should do – generate debate! I’ll side with those customers who bought the picture. Several versions were bought including framed, on canvas and on a wooden block, those people obviously know their art!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

New GDMK Images T-Shirts

Last weekend saw the official launch of the new GDMK Images t-shirts at the Shackerstone Family Festival.

There are currently 3 t-shirt designs available.

The first design features my extremely popular Vulcan Bomber digital painting. This image features a Vulcan Bomber taking off in a rainstorm.

This design is available on a Heather Grey or plain Black t-shirt.

The second design is available in white only and features English Electric Class 50 loco 50049 Defiance.

The loco is in large logo livery and is depicted under GWR lower quadrant signals.[/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid gap=”3″ item=”2161″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1457285240569-cb4d1db3-f26f-0″ include=”2548,2547,2544″][vc_column_text]

T-Shirt Sizes and Pricing

The t-shirts are available in sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL and are priced at £25 + £3.50 p&p (optionally avoid p&p by collecting from Alizzins Cave)*.

For those who were enquiring at the Shackerstone Festival about the availability of childrens sizes, I can confirm that childrens sizes will be added very shortly so keep checking back for details.

The range of designs will be increased slowly over the coming weeks.

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think about the new designs

Cheers

Gary
