Probably some of the nicest paint work I have ever seen on aircraft...

You need to scroll through the various links this guy has.....

About 10 pics down are two outstanding works of art... The one with
the flames is by far my top pick.

Thanks, but I'm looking for artwork (paintings, drawings, etc.) featuring
the RV line -- not paint jobs on actual RVs.

Amazingly, despite there being thousands of these aircraft flying, I can't
seem to find ANY artwork of them.

Jay, I'd guess you'd be able to find RV owners who would LOVE to have
their planes on the walls of the RV. Perhaps you should consider photo
prints?

Would this be the sort of thing you are looking for:

There is something fowl about the outside leading edge of the left wing in
this cutaway painting of an RV-8:

Not exactly, but it's as close to "RV artwork" that I've seen.

What is it with RVs that NO ONE is painting anything artistic for/about
them? Wouldn't it be nice to see, oh, I don't know -- an RV-6 flying low
over a river valley with a beautiful sunset in the background? You know --
a piece of artwork like every other aircraft ever built has had painted?

Heck, I can find half a dozen pieces of artwork for our lowly Ercoupe in
about ten seconds of Googling -- but nothing for RVs? This is just plain
weird!

You artists out there -- I've just found you a new niche market. Get busy!

The RV guys are probably out FLYING and don't have time to be bothered
with artwork ;)

It's all I could find. I'm assuming you want this for your hotel? If so,
maybe you can ask the artist of those cutaways if he is willing to do
custom art and for how much?

Ask the artists if they'll work on consignment, put the paintings up on the
walls of your hotel with a small sticker with the asking price, and make
money as the distributer/hotel art gallery middle-man.

Sort of. Behold, our new "RV Suite":
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/iowa_city_rv_rental.htm

:-)

It's a new sideline for us, but it fits into our mission of satisfying a
pilot's every lodging option... Fly in, rent the RV, go
fishing/hunting/camping...

We want to decorate it with all sorts of Van's RV art, but...it's a lot
harder to find than I ever would have dreamed!
