Hard to believe......

But I once had a full scholarship to Art School at the Worcester Museum of Fine Arts ( do they even have that program there anymore?)

This was a drawing I did for Riverview B&T in 1989 for there tide chart.

That is quite advanced work for a student, Flap. I married a RISD Grad while she was still a student. I loved art school. and it's bennies.....

Not too late to do some surf, fishing, and shore scenes now. Though I`m still waiting for the book so finish that first ok.

Good health and family

Nope just one of the caricatures that i draw from time to time,

On the Iron of America, as we build this great land of ours.

Or the shores of NE, and the playgrounds of the NShore, as my daughter and I travel
within the shadows of our forefathers.

Cain't get it to post the pic, dammmmmit!!

I remember that issue, because I really thought the drawing was awesome. I believe the caption said Bass swimming in the rocks at pasque. It was a October or November issue and Peros wrote the article

Only a slight criticism, Flap, as I could never begin to touch yer talent....

The striper's eye looks more human or deerlike than fishy, is that what you were referring to? The rest of it looks GREAT!! Excellent attention to DETAIL, bro!

Start up again - you can make it whatever you like. Send a few off coupled with your best writing to Gray's Sporting Journal - they've been running saltwater stories more often. Very nice by the way...
