Artwork From Kandahar
Okay, how many of you knew that there was a war artist in Kandahar?
His name is Richard Johnson, he works for the National Post, and he's been blogging about his experiences in Afghanistan. It's absolutely amazing what he can do with lead and paper; in order to get the full impact, check out his gallery page.
Apparently he's wrapping up his tour. I hope that, once he gets back, the Canadian War Museum gives him a call.

We got it covered at Op-For. And I must apologize (apologise?) in advance for a bad pun, but I couldn't resist.

The Canadian War Museum has already reached out to him. That's how he got access to the Ops Centre after many unsuccessful attempts.
Pretty much everyone who reads the blog regularly knows about Johnson; if they didn't find him on their own, they read about him here (14JUN - 6wks ago) and here and here and here and here (22JUL - three days ago).
Dude, stay with the tour. ;)
