About me

Gender Male
Introduction I have been a military history enthusiast since my childhood. Inspired by the artwork of Don Troiani and Osprey Publishing, I love to draw many of the subjects discussed on this site (in many ways, drawing is what led me to become a military historian). When I am not being an artist or a blogger, I'm a facebooker, strategy game player, TV watcher, and reader. You are free to subscribe to my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ben.allen.904750
