Canvasfish

He's baaaaaack!

From our brother from another mother, Travis Lowe comes this sweet video portrait of artist Derek DeYoung.

Canvasfish is intimate portrait of an artist and his work. It celebrates a small part of the culture of fly fishing while not attempting to document the pursuit of it. Filmed at Derek DeYoung’s Livingston, Montana studio, Canvasfish chronicles DeYoung’s career as he paints his way through life, a fly rod in one hand and paint brush in the other.

Fish Art and Naturalist Paintings by Nick Mayer

This Beaver Pond Brook Trout looks like it could swim off the page.

Nick Mayer has found a unique niche between the disciplines of Art and Biology. Nick’s undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology from Brown University allowed him to spend the earlier parts of his adult life working as a fisheries biologist, traveling around North and Central America studying and helping to improve fish populations.  Now his work is devoted to capturing these beautiful creatures on paper.
