Hey Rick!!  Glad to see you are still alive... personally, I am still thawing out down here.....come on double digits!  Anyways, I thought I would repost my pic in the "official" post.  

Here is the 3rd Rainbow trout that I ever mounted.  I dont think I have posted this one before.  The red dot on his side was a natural mark and the customer wanted it to show on the mount.    This is mounted on a carved body with a cast head....

LOL!!!! I'M SO CONFUSED! LOL!!!!!!

Carry on!

Rick, I was getting  kind of worried there.  I woke up early this afternoon, and didn’t see the Friday post?
Here it is again, the 27” channel catfish .I bought the blank  from ebay to make for ebay.

Paul, love the worm markings especially. I've yet to do a catfish Mayhem, nice coloring. All very nice stuff (again)!!!

Here's a 6+ pound Smallie skin mount I did for a customer before all the snow came. Even though the "model" holding the fish has a mop on HIS head, it is indeed my youngest boy begrudgingly helping me out!

You guys will have to excuse Rick, he's still getting over paint fume overdose for "false advertising" on Cecil's Birthday. Just want to say to all, nice fish. Paul, your Brookie was definitely not painted on a Tuesday night, nice!! MK, nice Muskie. Mike, what can we say, great cat. Looks a lot better than Bryan's "catshark" . And Marty, I love that Smallie. Looks like your son is biting off a piece of that driftwood. Feed the kid would ya.

Nice work all.
No taxidermy from me this week.
I'll share a painting I recently completed:

Awesome painting Rich!! You are TOO talented!! Good to see this thread up and running again.....

Here's a couple steelhead to go with Rich's painting.....both skin mounts w/ custom cast head.

Hey Rich ,  Fish on canvas, we must think alike!  That was going to be my other “Get Rich Scheme”, if whole job thing doesn’t pan out.   Heres a great website for you and everyone else to check out.  http://www.canvasfish.com/  

Lots of great fish head paintings!
