This photo was taken by John's wife, Bambi.  I heard that Bambi was actually the cause for John to get into kiting in the first place.  Way to go girl!!!  Here, John Chilese is modeling with the Ron Bohart Masterpiece Rev.  Nearly every photo in my gallery was taken by John, he takes some amazing shots and is basically the kiting worlds official photographer.
 
Thanks John for bringing these and so many other photo's to the world.]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:25:00 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5316-john-ron-bohart-lion/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5315-bohart/
Ron Bohart is a fairly new artist to the Revolution family, but is no stranger to custom applique designs.  His technique and attention to detail is unmatched in the kiting world.  On some of his large single line parafoil sleds, he has some images that are brilliantly stunning in the air and even more amazing up close.  He has been known to actually layer colors of ripstop on top of each other to achieve the desired colors and shadowing.  If you can, zoom into the lion's face and you can get a glimpse of his craftsmanship and attention to detail. Just an FYI, nothing on the kite is printed or painted, it is 100% applique, even the shadowing on the lion's face....look closely at the face of the Lion again and you will realize the work that had to be done.
 
One of the most interesting things he has done with his Rev Masterpieces is design the kite so that it can be viewed in all its beauty while hovering upside down as well.  The Zebra is actually sewn in upside down while the Lion is right side up.  No matter which way the Rev is, there is something beautiful to look at. ]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:24:52 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5315-bohart/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5314-new-york-minute-rev/
This Revolution is one that was designed by Ben himself.  It is called "New York Minute" and was designed to be a tribute to New York and the twin towers.  When the kite is flown upside down, it vaguely resembles the New York skyline.  This particular one does not have the "N.Y.M." written on it and is made with grey's, reds and whites.  The others that I have seen had some different shades of grey's / blacks in them.  I don't know how many of these were actually made but heard that it was 6 total.  This one has a special place in my collection mainly because of my close friendship with Ben and all that he has done for myself and my family.  Thanks Ben!  You rock.]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:24:42 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5314-new-york-minute-rev/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5313-randy-tom-closeup/
The details are stunning.  Randy really knows how to put in a ton of detail and I love the colors.]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:24:35 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5313-randy-tom-closeup/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5312-randy-tom/
Here's another shot of this beauty in the air. ]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:24:29 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5312-randy-tom/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5311-randy-tom/
So, I get this package in from Rev with a note that says "I think you will like this one".  Yup, it is beautiful!!!  Looking at the signatures, it is a Randy Tom (one of my favorite artists) and it says 2 of 2.  I only assume that my Brother Ben has the other.]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:24:17 +0000 http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5311-randy-tom/ http://www.revkites.com/forum/gallery/image/5310-rev-mihaaa-002/
