Camouflage intrigues me. Thus, when I stumbled across Camoupedia, I was immediately interested.
The blog is the brainchild of Roy Behrens who is a Professor of Art at the University of Northern Iowa. Behren has published a number of books on camouflage including Camoupedia: A Compendium of Research on Art, Architecture and Camouflage and Ship Shape, a Dazzle Camouflage Sourcebook: An Anthology of Writings About Ship Camouflage During World War I.
While Behrens writes about all sorts of camouflage on his blog, he devotes considerable attention to dazzle or disruptive camouflage as used on ships during WWI and, to some extent, WWII. He pays particular attention to the role that artists played in developing camouflage schemes for the various navies and armies of the world. These artists include luminaries such as Grant Wood who briefly served in the US Army near the end of WWI as a camoufleur.
An example of a ship in dazzle camouflage can be seen below.
If you have an interest in camouflage that goes beyond whether Mossy Oak is superior to Realtree or vice-versa, this blog should be on your list of blogs to follow.
There should be more respect and recognitation. More people can say something but no one know wheter it will be the thruth or not. And to be honest with those new changes from the goverement I hope there are more changes regarding guns,gun holders and the handling of these kind of special situations.Even KDS and https://www.daltechforce.com talked about that last week.
