Revive - A Quarterly Fly Fishing Journal (Volume 1. Issue 2. Fall 2013) | Page 90

Name one person that you would love to do a commission for.

The olson twins ( yes from full house) they are super snobby art collectors and it seems like once they own one of your pieces your personal value shoots through the roof.

Do you have a favorite piece of your own? Do you have a favorite piece of another artist?

I definitely have a favorite personal piece. Its titled "absent heroes" and its a portrait of my father holding my little sister. My father passed away when I was 18 and My sister moved to Seattle with her mother shortly before that. They are 2 major parts of my life that I admire greatly and miss. Thankfully I can still call and talk to my sister whenever I want, and overtime I pick up the flyrod I feel like im fishing with my father again.

Im not sure if I have one particular work by someone else that i would call my favorite. but there are a list of artists whom I have always been attracted to/ drew inspiration from. Dave Kinsey, Andy Howell, Micheal Sieban, Jim Bauer, and Billy Franevsky are all at the top of that list for sure and recently Adam Haynes, I got to spend a bit of time with him a few weeks back, Ive always been into his art, but I didn't know that he was also and avid flyfisherman, incredible snowboarder, and mountain bike rider as well.
