valentines day gifts
 

painted this, and made the frame for my woman.

what are you guys doing?

That is an outstanding painting, Christian!

Christian, you are a talented young man both at building plugs but also painting. She'll love it.

Christian, you obviously have a special chick
If I gave mine a picture of a Codfish whether I painted it or not...

:hidin: <- Thats where I be sleeping!

ditto,
i would fill that with flowers just to be safe :hidin:

No wonder Christian doesn't hang out here anymore....or make plugs!:laughs:

christian,

You are talented .

That is fantastic. If your girl need more than that, throw her back and keep casting.

What's the medium?

me too:uhoh:

thanks guys. yeah she is special. :angel: :lm:

shes a vegan too. even stuck with me through filleting 2 20pounders for her family on her back porch.

dont worry im working on those year old swap plugs.:wall: cleaning up the shop right now so my dad doesnt murder me.

water colors, on like sketch board or something. took a bunch from the art room on my last day of highschool.

Throw in some roses and you will be GOLDEN!!!LOL!!!

Very nice, it's got that old school naturalist quality to it. Was it freehand or painted onto a trace?

i used a picture of a cod from OTW as a reference, that was about it.

We miss you around here Christian!:wavey:

Give my best to your Dad!

cool christian! ...she fish?

how'd she like your hood ornament last summer? :bl:

i had her pull in a schoolie on halloween

hood ornament? which one?

i used alot of frebreeze and scent tree's, she didnt seem to mind.

i had the second one in mind........cant believe she didnt freak out when she saw it.

cool painting BTW

One stop shopping for this kid.I'm best under pressure and wait till the 14th and then go here:

You will ALWAYS walk out of there with a great card/gift combo that your woman will squeal in delight over.And its not a wallet buster.

Nice job Christian. Starts me thinking all over again about art lessons.

That is like the time homer simpson gave marge a bowling ball, with the name 'homer' engraved on it.

That would not go over in my house at all.

erin and i are finding out tomorrow what we are having. then sending her flowers wednesday from her little boy/girl.

I get hit hard in febuarary my girlfriends birthday was last week now I gotta deal with valentines. College+girlfriend=broke as hell

max...we liked her bebe jeans :humpty:

I betchya did. I like em too. SHes the best i told here she probably didn't want to go but she insisted. I made her sit through Mckennas seminar too.....

the painting is very nice. do you paint other stuff as well?

i basically only paint fish. when i did that last week, i hadnt painted in 2 years.
back in highschool, art class,they used to call me fishboy, because all i ever drew/painted was fish.

christian ... where ya been dude? :wave:

Nice fish .. same girl ? .. when you 2 getting married ? I take my honey to Wlamart every year to the card isle .. We pick cards ,, exchange,, read them,, then put them back and leave .. This started years ago (1991)when I wasn't working and we were eating alot of spaghetti..Its since become a tradition ,,, she likes it ..

ohhhhh i noticed as well :D Too funny.

Christian, thats one sweet cod. :kewl: I do agree with the other guys though.. that wouldnt fly with an older woman.

Hahah how couldn't you notice her she was the only girl under 45 there.... Shoulda said something Nebe, I didn't know many people there other than Don. Ill probably run into you in gansett/soco this spring.

me and a few gansett surf guys were chewing the fat and all of a sudden they all got real quiet. I looked at them and the look was like they were on the rocks and have just spotted breaking fish at 4 oclock- I turn and there goes 'bebe' :buds:

she liked it! it worked. haha

yup same girl tagger

i havent spent much time on the site, since i slowed down my plug building alot. starting back up though.

I love that idea. Maybe next year the wife will go for it. This year she got a new Beetle. My wallet is killing me. So much for outriggers this year. I did get this though

RRC ordered me a Vermont Teddy Bear. He was going to get the fisherman bear, but decided to go with Papi Chulo (pimp daddy) instead, as he was more huggable with no pokey attachments. Real cute. At bedtime, it's a Bass Babe sandwich with papi chulo bread. I got RRC cologne, junk, Stripers Gone Wild, The Call of the Surf, and a fishing shirt. The cats got valentines for Daddy, too.
