Fly Tying As Art
I enjoy creating and tying realistic flies, most of which are not intended for fishing with, instead, simply enjoying the art of fly tying and striving to make my creations look alive.
My realistic insects have solved a number of logistical problems for film studios and photographers including Disney, Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, Sony/Columbia Pictures, HBO & NBC Universal Television, and more...
My realistic bugs have even been mistaken for the real thing, Published in the Atlas of Creation
