About 12 years ago I was fortunate enough to
spend the day with fly fisherman, fly tyer and illustrator Dave Whitlock. He
was a guest of the Westbank Anglers store in Dallas, TX for the day. During
that day it was very neat to watch him tie flies and just listen to his
stories about fishing and the people he has met during his life of fishing.
As an aspiring artist, I was more interested in his artwork and
illustrations. As the day went on, he draw very cool little illustrations
on people's fly boxes. As he did them very simply with sharpie markers, they
were so expressive and alive with motion. Ever since then, I have been
doing illustrations on boxes for friends and clients and it has become a
very enjoyable media. It allows me to have a little more fun with the
subject matter, with more of a sketchy-drawing end result.
