Christmas Bears

These bears started out as tiles back in the 90's. All looking a little different. I have always wanted to redo them as if they are one bear. I'll see about coloring them.

Polar Search & Rescue

The polar bear theme is alive and well and living in Marblehead. A happier New Year for 2010. More drawings for the winter. What else can you do when its cold.

Tinkers Island Fish Company

I posted my wooden fish back in September and I realized how difficult it is to photograph them well. I had the great Steve Adams shoot these for me and the results are excellent. Now to get them into all the best galleries and shops in the NorthEast.
Then the world!

How Deep do you Sleep?

I did a much larger, full color version of this idea back in 1992, maybe. I could sleep on a muscle bed with the sharks and octopus and all of the fish. Especially in the summer. I am working up a carved wood version too. A little less complicated but cool and fun. How deep do YOU sleep?

Tinkers Island Fish Company

I like this guy. My new spin doctor, pitchman, lightning rod for the PolarBear Fish Company. Why have a company if you don't get to boss someone around. But I had a revelation about the company name. The Polar Bear is a great image for me but the name wasn't exactly thrilling me. I was listening to NPR and they had a piece about tinkerers. And the light went on. I am a tinkerer. I love to make things and design things. Tinkers Island is one of my goto areas to fly fish. Perfect. Tinkers Island it is!

SketchBook

SketchBook it is. I am always doodling on extra pieces of paper at work. It obssesive but fun.

FaceBook

More like SketchBook. The daily doodling usually doesn't get the ink treatment. But I keep trying to find a style that is satisfying.
