Greetings,
My name is Kristopher Battles. I am a landscape and portrait painter of the Classical Realist school, inspired by the masters of art history as I paint the world around me. (I also consider myself a Romantic Realist, if there can be such a thing).
As of 28 June, 2006 I am Sgt. Kristopher Battles, of the United States Marine Corps Reserve -- soon to be a proud member of the USMC Historical Division serving as a combat artist overseas. This blog will showcase my experiences in the War on Terror as I deploy as a Marine Combat Artist. I will endeavor to show a realistic view of the war through the eyes of one on the ground, while also being truthful to the long, rich history of combat art and the art of picture-making itself.
Semper Fidelis.

Kristopher,
Following Michael Fay will be a real challenge!
You guys do us all a great service recording what our sons and daughters are going through and capturing more meaning in your images than many can do in words.
God bless you. Stay safe. Thank you for your service to your Nation.
Until they all come home safely,

Proud Marine Dad
