These are re-mixes of existing poster art, and in this case, the original IS a watercolor. You can see it here: [link]

Glad you like the work.
Ahem. I stand convicted of not fact-checking this one. I can only say that I was preoccupied with the message, which had gone through several iterations to reach the point at which I published it. It never occurred to me that the brass wouldn't let women serve on attack subs, but I guess I understand the logic.
I really like Howard Chandler Christy -- the watercolorists are my favorite "school" of propaganda poster painters: Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, Norman Rockwell, and Gerrett Beneker being my favorites. But when I saw the original [link] I just knew I had to turn it's message around somehow. Sorry if I overreached.
The message is great, though, and well portrayed.
