Rockfish Derby Artwork

[tattuna]

I just received prints of the artwork I did for the Rockfish Derby if anyone's interested. They're 11"x14" printed on 140 lb watercolor paper. These are high quality prints ready to frame. The original painting was drawn on with pencil then painted over with watercolor and you can see a bit of the pencil in these prints.

The original painting will be auctioned/raffled off at the tournament with 100% of the proceeds going to H.O.W./W.W.

There was only a limited run of 30 of these printed. Each print is signed and numbered. They are for sale for $30 shipped via Priority Mail. If you would like one you can order one via Paypal to charlietattuna@yahoo.com.

I'm flattered to be chosen as the artist for this tournament. It's a great cause and it's sure to be a good time. I'll see you all at the weigh in :cheers1:

What inspired you to put a hat on the vermillion?.

I thought it was a hat too. But it looks just like kelp folded over his head. Made me think twice for a sec.... I like it!

What's his name. Looks like a Vinny or a Rocky!

The idea for the hat ,and basically the idea behind the entire composition, was based on this sketch by William Novotny that I was asked to work from.

Since this is a wounded warrior veterans project, we wanted the Rockfish to represent our "Wounded Warrior"
These paintings are awesome, and I think you guys will love them! Go order them before they are gone, only a limited run of 30, these things will be gone by the weekend!
