DRAWN IN TRUST

Most of my drawings live inside my beautifully-unfixable, journey—one that now allows me to honor the world’s most iconic fly patterns, tied by the hands of masters.

Other drawings evolve from the familiar patterns of ol'. A legacy sown into every hackle, fur, and wrap.

Then there are drawings that simply begin with an alluring story. Stories such as yours—patterns I am often asked to capture on matte.
Maybe a story from generations passed...
a moment on the water...
or a personal memory stitched into silence.
Whatever the story, it’s yours!

Every piece is drawn with time, color-logic, and reverence.
“Pencil, pigment, and patience”, as I like to say.

I can't always accept commission work, but I always welcome the conversation. If you have a story worth honoring, let’s talk.~ I draw flies!!! ~

Let's talk

And he saith unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." _{Matt. 4:19}

Jeremiah 16:16 (KJV)
"Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks."

Ezekiel 47:10 (KJV)
"And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many."

Matthew 4:18 (KJV)
"And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers."

Matthew 4:19 (KJV)
"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Revelation 3:20 (KJV)
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."

Romans 10:13 (KJV)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

About

Within my modest atelier, I strive to create art with precision and patience—a niche not only meant to replicate, but to honor so many of today's master fly tiers.

A space where a colorblind and self-taught artist will insist the laying of every pigment be obedient in the discipline of every fine detail. Details, all the more, trusted in telling a story - my story.

Then, once completed, a piece may truly be considered—a signatured, Backward Hook.Welcome,Joe
