Merry Christmas Eve from FF&W. “Christmas Spey” from last year’s DF52 project.

The Drawing Flies 52 image from last year at this time: Winter’s Hope. This was one of my favorite fly drawings of the 2010 project. The full post is here.

Yeah, I know, DF52 week 41 is not in order (this is week 48), but I was thinking about big, late-season streamers, and had to re-post this. This Yellowstone Sculpin is vying to be my favorite from last year, and it is for sure in my top-five. I did one commission based on this painting, [...]

This Blue-Butt Caddis was last year’s week 47 image from the DF(flies) 52 project. It was chosen in memory of the late Tom Helgeson. Check out the full post for more about the fly and Tom. This year’s week 47 image will be a marble trout (due tomorrow, but with the holiday and all, it [...]

This week’s DF52 fish image (spotted gar) turned out to be a last-second type of drawing. Too many fits and starts to be able to properly dig into the details and the play of light. Last year’s week 40 DF52 drawing, however, was just the opposite. The Wickham’s Fancy had a good start and ended [...]

This week’s DF52 fish is going to be something a little different (stay tuned). In the meantime, above is the week 39 image from last year’s DF52 flies-only project: the Bunyan Bug. Drawn on a rock, with a rock, both of which came from the center of A River Runs Through It territory. You can [...]

This week’s DF52 fish is going to be a silver (coho) salmon. Keep watching for that. In the meantime, above is the week 35 image from last year’s DF52 project (2010 was flies only): the Crazy Charlie. You can read the original post here.

For those following the weekly Drawing Fish 52 (DF52) project this year, here’s a look back at what was happening last year at this same time. The DF52 project in 2010 was Drawing Flies, and the fly from week 33 (corresponding with the Dolly Varden this year) was a Sakasa Kebari (for Tenkara fishing). The [...]

For those following the weekly Drawing Fish 52 (DF52) project this year, here’s a look back at what was happening last year at this same time. The DF52 project in 2010 was Drawing Flies, and the fly from week 31 (corresponding with the chum salmon this year) was a Brassie. The fly is shown above. [...]

For those following the weekly Drawing Fish 52 (DF52) project this year, I thought that I’d do a little look back this week at what was happening last year at this same time. The DF52 project in 2010 was Drawing Flies, and the fly from week 29 (corresponding with the muskellunge this year) was a [...]

For those following the weekly Drawing Fish 52 (DF52) project this year, a sockeye salmon is up next (tomorrow). For those readers who started following the project after 2010, I thought that I’d do a little look back this week at what was happening last year at this same time. The DF52 project in 2010 [...]

Drawing Fish 52 crappie. Done with the same CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) “3-D” look as the largemouth bass from April 7. For those unfamiliar, CMYK is the color space used in print work, and this piece uses each of the core colors in their “pure” form (well, as rendered by your RGB color-space computer [...]

Nice piece at the new eZine, aTightLoop.com, about my DF52 cohort, Jeff Kennedy (includes a video at the end). Check it out (starts on page 62).

We are approaching the half-way point in this year’s DF52 project, and I wanted to post an up-to-date list of images that are still available (minus the just-posted “Leopard Rainbow”). There is also still one image available from last year’s DF52 project. If any of these strike your fancy, contact me directly. Thanks. Available Drawing [...]
