Things I'm loving lately: Fish!

I have loved fish and fish-like things ever since I can remember. I like eating them, catching them, admiring how shiny and cool their scales are, and looking at them up close. I love fishing but I always have someone I'm with whack the fish to kill it because I can't hit something with a stick, whether or not I'm going to eat it. I respect fish. Rockfish are the reason I learned to scuba dive. I loved them so much on land that I needed to see them up close in the water. I had aquariums (five going at once, including a 55 gallon) full of mostly catfish (I am also a catfish nerd...don't get me started talking about corydoras and synodontii). So this TILL goes out to my fishie friends!

 I think Brooke read my mind and made a wallet with my most favorite fish EVER! The Snapper wallet by Saltybags!






This totally awesome China rockfish (one of my faves) gyotaku from Orchidstreetstudio!
(Gyotaku is what I am learning, but I am not this good, obviously. ;o)

This copper rockfish hanging from Natureartstudio!

 
This Kokanee Salmon People by Bonjourpoupette!
This Salmon with Umbrella print from Saraschalliol!
(Because all proper salmon know enough to keep out of the rain.)

I hope that even if you are not usually an appreciator of fish and fishy things that you still enjoyed seeing a few fun items. Thanks for reading!

P.S. I am excited about tomorrow because I am hanging out at Sharron Huffman's studio tomorrow and will be printing gyotaku, much like the one seen above, all day! I have these fish ready for printing and I'm good to go!
