The Winning Loser

The Winning Loser Phoenix war insignia

A while ago I did this contribution to El Solitarios Winning Loser insingnia contest.

Here's what I wrote about it:

The idea about this insignia is quite obvious. The story about the old
yammie being salvaged from a junkyard to be turned into a nice lean
machine is a modern day iteration of the ancient myth about the
phoenix bird that rises to new glory from the ashes of its own grave.
The idea got stuck in my mind and i had to spend an afternoon
completely disregarding wife and baby son to paint this contribution.

I didn't win but the competition was stiff. Read the full story here.
