. Thank you, everyone, for all of your kindness and well wishes. It means a lot. I am also an amputee from Vietnam and the VA has me doing military graphics for veteran amputees in the prosthetic department. I can do my graphics while being in bed on my laptop and tablet, so at least I can still do that. I have done over 60 so far and have orders coming in all the time. I will post some of my examples which are presently imprinted on different prosthetic arms, legs, and a hand, too. I hope you enjoy them.. Treatment and therapy time, so will close for now and wish all of you a Blessed evening and a healthy week ahead.

Wow! The graphics are awesome! Keep doing that...such a worthy cause too.
We live in South Carrolina, and the birds are busy starting new families! I built 103 bluebird houses for our community and monitor the back nine boxes on our golf course.
Lots of bluebird nests! Here are a couple of pics!
Enjoy your day!
@usmccam Good morning! I love your graphics and WOW! You surprised me. I am a fine artist and I know from my own personal experience about the healing power of engaging in creativity and art. I paint mostly historic subjects, and I did one Civil War painting of Union Cavalry soldiers on their horses. I have friends who are re-enactors and they willingly pose for my camera. I've gone to a local Civil War Days for several years. I love horses (and I have one) and I like to paint them. This summer, the tall ships will come to Kenosha, WI, which is near where I live. Canada's ship, the Bluenose II is coming. I sailed on her out of Halifax years ago when I was on a trip to Nova Scotia so I could gather material and do paintings. It was the first time I traveled alone and I mostly lived out of my car. I was on a journey of discovery and on my own for the first time. I have a photo of me from those years ago next to the mast of the Bluenose (which is a tree trunk). Here's a story which I think you may enjoy. https://sharing.mayoclinic.org/2019/01/09/using-the-art-of-medicine-to-overcome-fear-of-surgery/
You write beautifully and your graphics are wonderful! I feel honored that you have shared your beautiful graphics with us. They are truly smashing. Saw these last night and gain today. Adjust getting o responding back to e mails and wanted you to know how much your sharing with us is appreciated. I'm glad you have a talent like doing these graphics to keep you occupied and can do such even now. Thank you fro being an outstanding Marine and a fine man. God bless you.
Your graphics are just outstanding! What a remarkable talent.
Was this type of artwork something you have always done?
PS It's obvious you are from Pennsylvania, the graphics of the Steelers was a give-a-way!
@usmccam I didn't know you were such a creative guy! I think my two favorites are the first one 'United We Stand', (it's very powerful), and the Navy ships. Thank you for sharing these.

@usmccam - Good morning. Those were tough years. My university cancelled finals which saved my butt. My class saw off many friends, welcomed some home and grieved for others. Your graphics are beautiful and capture so much. Are any of your navy buddies around? I live in southern New England and spring is having a tough time springing. It was 22 degrees this AM. burrr. But at least the snow has gone.
Off to have some breakfast. I hope that your day is bright and cheery.
