A Good Day’s fishin’


Inspired by a photo I found of giant American roadside model of a bass and another pic I came across of a Japanese ceremony of a crowd carrying a huge paper fish, I blended the two. I’d like to be that fisherman, imagine the kudos. You can just make him out being held high on shoulders in front of the fish’s mouth. The whole town could eat sushi for a year. Charcoal pencil and Quink ink on the usual recycled sketchbook brown paper.

  1. That fish is truely an eyecatcher.
    I like, that it´s just blue and black, it looks swell.

  2. Thanks for your comments Janine. I often do these drawings in my lunch hour at work and just sticking to blue ink and pencil enables me to 'paint' but keep it simple ;)
