Revisiting Moose in the City





This is my Island Ferry Moose. It was inspired by a sighting of a Bull moose with antlers in Algonquin Park. I used the shape of the moose as water with a variety of different freshwater fish swimming through it.


This is my Film Festival Moose complete with a giant pair of sunglasses. The design includes lots of brightly coloured movie film wrapped around the moose.The final auction bid for this moose was a little over $10,000

Northern Pike ready for it's close up

My close up photo of the northern pike was made possible by having my fishing buddy Eduardo
catch the fish in the Bluffers Marina of Toronto. It was caught on my homemade double blade spinners .
I'm amazed how clear and detail filled the photo appears.
The fish was released immediately after it was caught!

Case of the Curious Muskie, Artwork copyright Charles Weiss 2014

ALL ARTCOPYRIGHT CHARLES WEISS 2014
Muskie fishing can be exciting visually. The following muskie I drew in this diagram is following a "walk the gog" lure retrieved on the surface.



The Muskies on Main. Main Street Kenora, Ontario. Look for the many varieties of carvings and replicas during this Summer!

 My Zany Muskietoons. The wonderful muskie is an inspiration to my cartoonist/ fisherman mind.
