Here is my newest project for OCM Racings Art Antiporda.
I call it Deadpool!
Everything was hand drawn, most of it was Airbrushed and most of the VooDoo dolls were hand painted. Hope you like it.

I want to thank for your years of service in the Navy for our country. I certainly appreciate all the armed forces and the price all who served have paid for our freedom, some paying the ultimate price for our freedom! Thank you to all who serve('d)!! Americans have the freedom to basically do what ever they want when they want..including posting opinions. I feel many americans don't truely understand the price of freedom and take if forgranted.

Anyone can paint what ever they like...it's there freedom to do so... swastikas even. it's a free country, we have the freedom to offend. it's a symbol of hate IMO...swastikas and the rising sun naval flag. Out of respect of the past and respect for the living that went through WWII, I don't go painting swastikas which would offend most people, though I have the freedom to do so. the rising sun flag to me is no different and it's a fact that is offensive to some. Ok, it's not genoside but the japense were not nice to there ememies by any means.

I didn't realize the flag was readopted in 1954....

History...go ask some Perl Habor survivors what they think about that flag...and Koreans and the Chinese. ..some probably have forgave & forgot by now but some have not and never will.

My grandfather was a survivor of Perl Habor, my other grandfather in the Korean war....sadly they are not around anymore to ask what it means to them. I do know either of them were fond of the japanese.

The design is similar to the flag of Japan in that it has a red circle close to the middle signifying the sun, the difference being the addition of extra sun rays (16 for the ensign) exemplifying the name of Japan as "The Land of the Rising Sun".

The Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy both had a version of the flag; the naval ensign was off-set, with the red sun closer to the lanyard side, while the army's version (which was part of the regimental colors) was more centered. It was adopted in 1889.

The flag was used in overseas actions from the Meiji period to World War II. When Japan was defeated in August 1945, the flag was banned by Allied Occupation authorities. However with the re-establishment of a Self-Defense Force the flag was re-adopted in 1954. The flag with 16 rays is today the ensign of the Maritime Defense-Force while the Ground Self Defense-Force uses an 8 ray version.

This flag is often considered offensive in countries which were victims of Japanese hostility, particularly China and the Koreas, where it is seen as alarming, nationalistic and hostile.
