Welcome to the first official Sketch-Photography site
The first question you may have is what is sketch-photography?
It's the process where someone takes a picture
/ photo, by any means ( something that captures a image) then they take that photo and
turn it into a sketch! That is sketch-photography in simple terms.

The main thing to remember is that no matter how you complete the process, you still
have to take a good picture!
The pages in this contains pictures
and sketches I have done and
placed here for all to see. All the
pictures and sketches are for sale
at a very reasonable price.

The term sketch-photography
was coined by me as well as  the
phrase civilian combat veteran (
registered and assigned a
trademark /patient by the US
Patient /Trademark Office 2007 -
the site devoted to all civilians
past and present who have
served here and abroad on the
fight for freedom)
So welcome to my site and by all
means take a look at both sites
thanks, Frankie Lea Sr
Serving  the fight for freedom

My mother lost her battle to lung cancer on Fen 28, 2010. She was able to ring the bell after completing her
radiation therapy on Monday then that Friday she took a turn for the worse and on Sunday she passed. She
kept fighting until her loved one's were beside her before her passing.
This season will be for her . I  will try the best I can to attended every car show possible. Clear skies or rain. I will
show up set up even if the show is cancelled, Due to weather Just a little to show the spirit.
I wrote to Pat Wayne son of John Wayne to let them know the passing of my mother to lung cancer. Also Their
father was one of the best actors in the world, great American but to them he was their father. His fight against
cancer is still under way thanks for their efforts and the John Wayne Cancer Foundation.
In return on March 26, 2010, Ethan Wayne, son of John Wayne sent me a package. Inside was a heart founding
letter for the loss of my mother, thanking me for my civilian service to my country and a tin sign of his father
-John Wayne..
What ever sports, events they will sponsor you. For those who have lost loved ones and those effected by
cancer, never give up nor forget.
Thanks to all the nice people I have met at all the car shows...............................................

Attended the Carolina Classics 10th Annual Big Show
 in Spartanburg, SC on May 29, 2010.
There was some 208 vehicles registered for this  
National Show and only the top 20 winners and a few
other special awards. There was even an Original
Shelby in attendance, nice
The man on the right  Doug Gura was one of the top
20 winners with his 1/14 Special Edition Prowler.
And yes it does over 200 mph
And I won the annual Memorial ( in memory ) trophy
What a Hugh surprise, I might have been out gunned
with my 2005 Chevy Silverado Monster 4x4
but was not out classed.......
Thanks to Diane and her super crew members for an
outstanding show, and to the people from Sears with
their cook out to help out the local Vets......
Please honor all our US Vets
the  Military and the Civilians
who have served our Country
Making History again
On July 5, 2010 Tennessee made revisions to
some of their laws. One being the bill I help push
forward. The right for Civilians who have or are
serving our country over seas in Iraq , Afghanistan,
or any other country to get their home state Veteran
License Tags.
Until now only the Military could get Veteran tags.
Well not any more...
Pictured  is me receiving Iraqi Freedom Veteran
License Tags July 23, 2010 from Jackson, County    
   Tn County Clerk
I became the first Civilian in Tennessee and the US
to receive a Veteran License Tag. It goes with me
being the first Civilian Combat Veteran registered in
the Us / World
The law also was written to cover civilians in all
Wars back to WWII. The new law is also rittled with
the term Civilian Veteran.
Pretty darn nice and just a small step for Civilian
Combat Vets...
After all us civilians have been stepping up since
that Tea Party in Boston back in 1700's
I wounder how that party turned out?
( I will be adding all the good people who helped
this Law pass)
Each Show is on DVD and
set to Music and can be
your's for only $10. ea or
