I'd like to introduce James Prosek and his art to you. If you are a flyfisher you problaby already know his name and his art.

 

James Prosek paints fish like no other, exept perhaps like his role model Audobon who painted "The Birds of America"

The line is subtle, exquisite, charming and honest. In Prosek's art, I see the same honesty and openmindedness that we have as children, when we marvel at the fabulous creatures we catch on a hook baited with a single worm. The images transcend ages and silly barries like flyfishing and bait fishing. In Prosek's world, there is only fishing, and fishing is life. He turns that life into art. We have to thank him for that. Support James Prosek for example by buying this movie, if you can get your hands on it.

I really hadn't anticipated this: This weekend I had to throw in everything I've got in the pride and preconception department and break all rules...The result was spectacular.

Why not put your trophy fish painting up against a more interesting beckground?

Imagine painting in the fly, the rod and reel. Or imagine the trophy brown trout from your last trip on background of golden burnt siena, or a great looking grayling up against a bluish-grey backdrop. Limitless opportunities...

A new painting is ready now. I was thinking of bomber fishing for atlantic salmon all the time while I painted this one.

Is this going to be the year of the perch for me?

I can tell you one thing; I'll do my very best. Perch are finickly, crafty moody, and they don't bite everything coming their way. Much unlike salmon really, those stupid herring (yes you sense a tinge of frustration, there). 

So, this year, I'm aiming to improve my perch-fishing skills. which is a good thing, because perch can be caught in a huge variety of ways, none of which are boring: dropshotting, vertical, livebait and deadbait trolling, worm trolling, casting tiny lures and crankbaits...the list is endless..

I think I'll start by re-re-re-re-reading Chris Yates' unbeatable classic: "How to fish" in which he dedicates most of a season to the elusive perch in his home rivers. I'll do more or less the same thing: dedicate my spare time to the perch of my home lakes. I can't wait to get started, or actually I already have:

here's me with a fine perch caught on the ever-green Brown and green motoroil 2" relax 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a ball both days. Loads of good times. People got around to see the true stuff. 

 

Let me tell you one thing: Fishtrophy.dk, or in my own knotted tongue, fisketrofæ.dk is goin' to be a blast, I can tell you. I'll work day and night and keep you posted as soon as I'm set with the webpage. I have to thank the good people who believe so firmly in my talent, that they've already ordered the fish of their dreams on paper. Nice one guys. I owe you one......

What can I tell you: well how would you like  to have the perfect portrait drawn of the fish of your dreams....Well quite a few good guys already hooked onto the idea.....but let me know if you catch the fish of your dreams this spring, and I'll supply the braggin' rights

 

Fishtrophy.dk - You've got the braggin' rights....sounds good, right?

 

Apart from that, I had the pleasure to donate a poster print to FFF, and they sold quite a few. I'm so pleased that I can contribute to their environmental work in my own little way.

 

And on that note, I would like to thank everybody I've met at the Fair  and send out a big Conrats! - to the incredibly skilled fly tiers who've got to take the drawings I've made home. Congrats the boys on the podium in general of course and to Dennis Hynkemeyer and Jonas Rygaard especially, you're really something! Nice one guys, keep rockin'

 

See you soon.

 

 

 

Peace

I really love to paint and draw fish on paper, but lately I've been given a challenge: Digital drawings!

I now use a Wacom tablet to solve specific drawing assignments for magazines. Keep an eye on Sportsfiskeren. Within the next couple of months, some of my stuff will crop up in unexpected places. But not only that, the tablet also offers great fun and entertainment, and completely new opportunities.... More left

 

 

 

 

 

 

Topher Browne's upcoming book "Atlantic Salmon Magic" is going to be the salmon book of a generation. I've done the artwork for the book. It is due release this summer through Wild River Press. More here:

An eye for eyes

 

Chilean eyes are a sight for sore eyes....I'm just saying...I Think I'll better book a flight bound for Balmaceda Airport, Chile next winter...

 

 

You probably know the feeling...you're looking out the window, and contemplate the fact that sweet may is months away. You're longing for the long,  warm spring nights and the dance of mayflies over the meadows...The only thing I can do right now is draw the images in my head....

Jakob and I are touring the country right now with our book-promo shows. What a pleasure it is to meet all the enthusiastic readers out there. To tell you the truth it's quite a show, actually, and a once-in a lifetime experience on top of that: One  hour of top grade shots and tales about salmon fishing in river Skjern and another hour with my shots and tales about sea trout dry fly fishing. Hope to see you there, keep a keen eye on the website, for updates about upcoming shows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a status update at the brink of a new promising year:

I'm just back from a icefishing session. My arms and back hurt from all the ice-drilling. But boy was it fun!

When I scroll back through the news updates this past year, I can't believe I had the time to do all that fishing! But I did. And as usual my fishing calendar has been booked with very varied fishing. Everything from dry fly fishing, hitching for Quebec salmon, Danish Salmon, Perch and pike to specialized zander jigging. I've enjoyed myself. I hope you had time to read a bit of it, and a great big thank you goes out to you guys who have followed me here.

The fish drawing side of things has been rather hectic as well. A load of drawings are currently being layouted for Topher Brownes new book. A couple of new prints have seen the light of day, and so on and so forth. Thank you to all of you who have supported this side of business. I truly appreciate it, and I am humbled by your praise.

The articles have been cranked out as well. Not only to "Sportsfiskeren" but to Chasing Silver as well. The next year will be very interesting, and new stuff will appear in unexpected places.

Last but not least, a big thank you to all of you who have bought the new book. What a reception it has had. It's overwhelming, to say the least. If you've also had time to see Jakob and I in action in one of our shows, let me tell you that it really warms our hearts to see you there. We are looking forward like kids about to go fishing to the following shows.

 

I hope you'll have a prosperous, slimy, wet new year with lots of bent rods and happy moments.

I'll paraphrase my friend Niels Aage Skovbo here: Take a momont to appreciate how lucky we are, to count ourselves amongst those, who find intense pleasure in such a primitive thing as fishing.

 

I wish you all a Happy New Year with this newly completed piece. I thought it was about time I let loose some colour on the paper;-)

With this new photo gallery, I would like to share with you a photographic passion for capturing the essence of mountains. Maybe it's a silly thing, but when you come from a country flat as a pancake, your camera-lense is automatically drawn to the peaks. Due to global warming, many of the glaciers you'll see on the images are fast disappearing as we speak. It's a sad fact that the glaciers of the Andes mountains are amongst the fastest melting  glaciers in the world. When I'll be back some day, I may not see the same beautiful glaciers at all.

The images were captured on my two trips to Chile in '07 and '08.

 

 

 

 

Our book is fetching amazing reviews all around. Comments from happy readers are streaming in as well. Check out the comments and reviews on the blue Dot media website. 

 

Also, Jakob and I are planning more than a handful shows more in the beginning of the new year. See you there....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way...Rumor has it that the salmon i helped bring ashore this year turns out to be the biggest from river Storå this season.

Amazing fish....

 

 

 

 

What a reception. I surely feel sorry for you non-Danish speaking types. our book is praised in one of the biggest media in the business here, Sportsfiskeren:

 

 

 

 

The book has now been out for a few days. I would like to thank all who have supported Jakob, Søren and I. We are very happy with the result, and really hope that you'll appreciate it as well. Read more, and get a link for a sneak peek.

I Know It's old news, but i really miss traveling in Patagonia with my friends.

Right now, I'm working on a sort of memorial-piece taken partly from memory, partly from Patagonia. Go left

 

 

And while I'm at it, I might as well throw in the joker. Anyone up for a PP about fishing Patagonia??

I've decided to terminate the offer on the original. No serious bidders came forth the first couple of weeks. if you feel generous go to "lakseprojektet" to donate

 

 

 

We will talk about salmon fishing in River Skjern and Dry fly fishing for seatrout. This will be a great opportunity to browse through our new book which is due realease mid october!!
