Wayne and Linda Record


Wayne’s career has spanned many years in the graphic design industry.  He has always loved drawing and painting and over the years has kept his hand in fine arts.  The influence of his upbringing and family has led to these initial drawings of a series which he has begun with his long-time friend, Tim Heck, who is an Patrol Agent In Charge with the Border Patrol in El Cajon Station, California. 

Wayne has a keen understanding of military and police life through his father and brother.  His father’s military career started with enlistment in the Navy as a Gunner’s Mate on a gasoline transport during WWII, continued as an Air Force career officer and pilot in intelligence and communications with 27 years of service.  After the military, he served in the Sheriff’s department working with forensics and evidence investigation. Wayne’s brother has 13 1/2 years as a police officer, and is now an attorney and Reserve-Army JAG officer and helicopter pilot who just returned from a tour in Afghanastan.  I hope this series will evoke feelings of honor for those and among those who serve our country.
