SALMONIDS of ALASKA The bane of my existence for the entirety of 2020 and part of 2021: the salmon poster. You've seen the separate illustrations, but now, finally, here is the full thing.

This entire project was a journey. I had never illustrated fish before, let alone in this much detail. I have retained an appropriate hatred of scales and fin rays from this project. But also a persistent joy from having created these illustrations, and appreciation for what beautiful animals these salmon are. Putting together the poster, making all elements fit together and - not unimportantly - making the poster fit its allotted space on the wall was an additional endeavour.

It is currently displayed aboard the David B, the vessel of Northwest Navigation who commissioned this piece. If you're interested in having a copy of your own, you can contact them. For now I hope you enjoy reading this (if you open the image in a separate tab, I made it big enough to read) - and mayhaps learn something new about the intriguing world of salmon! I certainly did.

Cutthroat trout!

[ID: an illustration of a green and red fish leaping up and to the left. It is on a blue background with a white sun, and is smiling. End.]

"Rancher's Girl Turns to Cutthroat Mermaid After Fall from Skittish Horse," 2022.

This title was probably also the front page headline of the old city newspaper the day after this happened.

My heron is complete 😊

This piece is for our local storm drain art exhibition, to raise awareness for the health of our local endangered creek. I’ve never seen a heron within the town limits, personally, but maybe someday, when the creek ecosystem is doing better, I might!

Critter fact #3:

The Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, Oncorhynchus clarkii utah, is the state fish of Utah. It is identified by the red mark under its lower jaw, and the presence of many large, black spots.
