Motorcycle and Military Art by Artist David Camp
I first featured the art work of David Camp back in January 06 on my bike week site with a great piece of work called “American Still“. David’s work is amazing. I have seen the original picture that this piece of art below was drawn by.
Brian Green, the individual who modeled for this work, is a TSgt with the USAFR 419 Fighter Wing at Hill AFB in Utah. In this scene, he sits upon his 04 Road King custom in front of an F-16 fighter aircraft that he supports. The title for this piece, “Choose Your Ride”, reflects the idea that Brian would never turn down the chance to fly in the F-16 but he prefers riding his bike through the mountains of the southwest and furthest reaches beyond more than anything else.
He’s a dedicated airman who has served his country well. At his first assignment, he was involved in the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Dahran, Saudia Arabia. He was awarded the commendation for valor medal when he saved the life of another severely wounded airman. As a result of the bombing, Brian himself was wounded and refused medical treatment.
Later, he served in Bahrain, Saudia Arabia, Prince Sultan Air Base and Kuwait Al-Jabbar in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001.
Some rides he’s embarked on include, Salt Lake City, Utah to Las Vegas, San Francisco, Texas and twice to Sturgis. His dedication to his country as well as to his hog is exemplary.

Hi Mike, I decided to surf around tonight for a while and came across your site. I think that I’ve been on it for over an hour now and can’t stop reading. You really have something cool here.
If you want to swap links and need any images, I have tens of thousands each one taken & edited by me.
Thanks.

I have been trying to locate Artist David Camp, an old friend, that I was stationed with at Dover AFB, Delaware. Have I found him? Would love to say hello and ask, how are you. I still proudly display David’s civil war painting with pride and pleasure.

Hi Ron,
Sadly the above link as you may have noticed is no longer live for David’s site and work. However, I did find another site that has a way to contact him. You can get to that site here. David is a one of a kind artist and a good man at heart. I am sure he will be glad to hear from you and please tell him that you found him through my blog.
Thanks for visiting!

Hello Mike,
Thank you for this response. I hate to admit it, but I just now started to look for Dave again, and saw your note.
I have sent Dave an email as you suggested with kudo’s to you.
