This was a labor of love. I loved experimenting with digital media with this piece. This portrait is inspired by pop culture artist #roylitchenstein who is known for popularizing comic inspired art in the world of fine art.
We are proud to announce that we will be honoring 30 local fire fighters by immortalizing them as part of a prestigious fine art exhibition spotlighting their contribution to society. The award ceremony honors local fire fighters for their courage; sacrifice, selfless service, patriotism, compassion and leadership.
This exhibition is organized by Yvonne Wan, Focus comic creator, social cultural anthropologist and award winning artist. Her art work of the 46th U.S President Joe Biden is displayed in the White House. Yvonne Wan will gift 30 original and hand signed fine art portraits to 30 fire fighters at the exhibit, plus a certificate of recognition for their contribution to society. Three of the fire fighters will be presented with a Trophy award.
Luke Air Force base will have their honor guard present. They will perform the presentation of colors during the national anthem at the start of the event. Luke Air Force base airman Gabe Howell will perform the national anthem. In addition to this Luke Air Force Base will perform the Sabers ceremony and a Sabers arch for all 30 fire fighters to walk through.
We are still accepting participants.
