After my rant about the troops I decided I have been neglecting the Marine Corps Artists' Blogs. I visited Michael Fay's blog, Fire and Ice, to find he is back in Afghanistan since May. I can't believe it had been that long since I looked at his blog.
He retired and is now there as part of the press. His sketches are amazing and his stories bring us all closer to the front lines. Very scary. I wish him the best and will be thinking of him and his family here in the States.
Kristopher Battles is still painting away, too. He was in Haiti for the rescue mission. He is painting more and is doing a great job.
Note added July 20
Regina sent me this link to an exhibit by military artists.
