Another fan tas tigue' piece of work! I just love those vibrant colors on a black background! I don't know that you've mentioned this before, but is this all brushwork or some airbrush also? Do you paint fresh water fish also? Could be a real market at Cabela's ,Gander Mountain or any of the 'big box' sporting goods stores for trout, walleye, bass and other fresh water fish t-shirts!!!!!! Mike

thanks!....nope not airbrush.....all hand painted with a brush..i use several types of small brushes to apply the paint... yep do fresh water fish too....if ya check out my website,tshirts....scroll down a bit...you will see a large mouth bass and a muskie.....i did those a couple of years ago...and used two of my favorite lures in the shots...lol....a frog pattern ole time torpedo, and hubbies all time favorite lure, bomber red craw pattern..~wink~.... problem is, because i hand paint em, it takes a bit to produce one...though i generally can get one done in two days time....but it really depends on the difficulty factor, and painting them is half the time put in....i have to research the fish/animal to make sure that i can paint it realistically.....so each shirt really is one of a kind...even if i make more than one of that type..lol.. thanks for looking and the positive comments!!!
