COMMISSIONS

DRAWN IN TRUST

Most of my drawings live inside the mind of my beautifully, unfixable journey—one that now allows me, full time, 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 a cast of 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, never forgotten, but yet, stitched in 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!!! ~

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 Production.Welcome,Joe
