JOHN D. SHAW
John D. Shaw has pursued his art and graphics career since 1985. Born in 1961, this native of Carson City, Nevada has always maintained an interest in creating both fine and commercial art. As an illustrator, Shaw has created artwork for a variety of clients such as Lucasfilms Ltd., Kellogg's, Major League Baseball, Coast Federal Bank of California, etc.
Shaw's work took a major new emphasis in 1993, when he began creating paintings with an historical aviation theme. With special attention to the World War II era, his depictions of these aircraft, people and their missions have won national awards.
Each limited-edition lithograph is an actual piece of documented history bearing MULTIPLE ORIGINAL SIGNATURES of some of America's most celebrated aviation heroes. Names from World War II's most famous groups, such as The Flying Tigers, Band of Brothers Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders, The Black Sheep Squadron, Tuskegee Airmen, American 'Eagle' Squadrons and Mercury Astronauts, personally endorse each of these collectible and valuable pieces of history.
John D. Shaw S/N Limited Edition Print "God Shed His grace on Thee"
COMMEMORATING THE U.S. ARMED FORCES IN WORLD WAR II
The War is Over! As headlines from sea to shining sea proclaimed this fantastic news, the hearts of Americans everywhere rejoiced. God had indeed shed His grace on this nation. Tyranny had been overcome, but not without great cost. As many war-weary troops returned home into New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty herself seemed to cry "well done!" along with the crowds who gathered to welcome them. A Navy F6F Hellcat, Army P-38 Lightning and Marine F4U Corsair roar proudly overhead. In conjunction with the U.S. Legion of Valor, artist John D. Shaw pays tribute to those who served our country in the armed services during World War II.
These lithos measure 25" x 31". All prints include a Certificate of Authenticity.

All Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered (S/N) by the artist. Limited Edition prints are restricted to a certain number. For example, if 400 prints are made from an original painting, once they’re gone, that’s it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. That’s why Limited Edition prints are more expensive — and more valuable to collectors — than "open" edition. Rare objects are more valuable.
An Artist’s Proof (AP), generally, is the first 5% - 10% of the Limited Edition prints that come off the press. This status is noted on the print. Collectors prefer APs because their value increases even more than a Limited Edition as time goes by.
All Limited Edition artwork is subject to availability at time of order. Although seller strives to remain currrent as to inventory, seller reserves the right to cancel a sale if item is no longer available at time of purchase.
