My rendition of Franklin Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States of America. I admire Roosevelt as a humanitarian who was called to serve at one of the most turbulent times in history. He introduced Social Security, and led his country through WWII, ultimately passing away before the war's end but cementing his legacy as among the finest to hold office as President of the U.S. Pencil and charcoal on Strathmore paper. 9.5" x 12"

ME-109 digital profile of Oberleutnant Franz Von Werra. Von Werra was downed in 1940 during the Battle of Britain. He escaped from a maximum security prison camp in Canada, made his way through the U.S. to Mexico and South America. He returned to service in April of 1941 but disappeared due to engine failure over the North Sea near Katwijk, Holland on October 25, 1941 and presumed killed in action. His story was made into a movie in the 1950's called "The One That Got Away" and is also the subject of a book. His entire biography can be read on Wikipedia, it's quite interesting.
