Stuck nLike a Pike on the cover of HOOKED Magazine

 ARTWORK COPYRIGHT Charles Weiss 2014

My exciting dramatic and colourful painting titled "Stuck like a Pike" was published as cover art
for the 2014 winter issue of Hooked Magazine. This was my creative design of the action filled moment above and below the ice when a large Northern Pike has made a surprise bite. Kevin Stobbe the publisher showed great support by showing 4 full colour pages of my art inside this magazine.

"STEELHEAD SPLASH". Acrylic on canvas 6in x 6 in.  For reference for my art I used the shiny steelhead trout on the cover of Real Fishing Magazine 2013 Fall issue.
The creation of the small canvas painting took about an hour and a half. The bids were coming along and and I was talking to the invited guests about the new art that I have recently completed.

Zombie muskie fishers

ARTWORK COPYRIGHT Charles Weiss 2013
This is my cartoon celebrating Muskie fishing if it was enjoyed by Zombies.
Who else would spend too many hours trying to catch just one fish?
A zombie wouldn't consider using a net, they would hand land their toothfish.
