Skulls and skeletons seems to be all the rage these days as far as art and tattoos go so with that in mind I decided to jump on the wagon and sketch up this dead bass. I finally decided to get myself a graphics tablet for my computer art and needed the practice using it. Sketching the lines and curves of a skull seemed to be a great subject and since I love to fish I thought a bass skull would be a great model.
Names for the Pub sign I passed on where Sticky Bass Pub, Bad Bass Ale House, and The Dead Fish Inn. Who wants a sign?
I also went a little crazy after that and sketched the whole fish. I wont claim that it is anatomically correct so don't email me to point out the there is suppose to be four more bones on the anal fin of a typical bass. Again, I needed the practice using the tool and sometimes I just get carried away.
I then decided to mess around a little more and explore new ideas in the computer and craft a bass sticker. I don't know... can you see this on the back of a die hard bass fisherman pickup truck?

I'm not an affectionado of tatoos or skulls, but I know good artwork when I see it.
Man, if that was a decal . . .
Leigh - Thanks, The summer did its best to wear me out. Glad to see your still wetting flies at FinFollower!
Howard - Fish and deer skulls are about the only skulls I find cool but you wont catch me getting a tattoo any of them.
RiverWalker - Thanks but unless somebody purchases the rights and prints them on their own all you got is this blog post.
