Stu Shepherd
Best known for his Aviation Art work (mainly the150+ illustrations he has created to grace the boxes of Revell and Monogram plastic model kits), Stu is an illustrator and Graphic Designer from Central California and is currently working on several projects for the game industry.
Although Aviation art is his strength, he is also passionate about Sci-fi and Fantasy art, with a focus on the wonder of fantastic environments. 'I'd love to be a matte painter, and am working toward that someday soon."
While creating an exciting and hopeful future in his art, Stu also writes stories of hope and adventure. He has one screenplay complete and is working on his second. "The future doesn't stand still, and in this day and age, a bit of hope can go a long way toward making the future a place we all want to be. Hope is powerful, and we could all use that right now."
Stu Shepherd Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Print "Bf-110 Zerstorer"
The Messerschmitt Bf-110 Zerstorer (Destroyer) of the Luftwaffe enjoyed an impressive reputation when the German conquest of the continent of Europe wrapped up in the spring of 1940, but when it came up against the Royal Air Force's modern fighters and tactics it was found wanting. Designed to escort bombers on long range missions, not long after "Adler Tag" commenced the Battle of Britain proper, loses amongst the Bf-110 squadrons forced the long-range fighter to be escorted by its smaller brother, the Bf-109. The Bf-110 served through much of the war, proving to be an effective ground attack platform, especially at the beginning of the war on the Eastern Front, where opposition fighter strength was often scattered and of poor quality.
Depicted is a Bf-110C-4 from 3./ZG 26 in action on 9 July, 1940. Hurricanes of the RAF have just intercepted the flight of Bf-110s and He-111s near the white cliffs of Dover, with a rousing scrum about to ensue.

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.
