Sorry it’s been a busy start to the fall semester at Golden West College where I teach Digital Arts and also build and maintain the campus web site (http://www.goldenwestcollege.edu). I have not been able to update the site or get out on a fishing trip. I had promised myself when I started this site to post atleast once a week or more, it has been over four weeks! So now I need to catch up.

Seeing that I can’t get out till next weekend on the water I’ve decided to do a quick write up on a good friend of mine and a mentor Carl Glassford.

I learned graphic design under him at Golden West College, and ended up coming back and teaching with him. One of the premiere pen and ink illustrator’s out there (See his Walter Foster book Drawing with Pen & Ink Artist’s Library series #06 at Amazon.com). I have always been amazed at the amount of detail and time he puts into his work.

I found a fish illustration the other day while cleaning out his office on campus. Beautiful pen and ink work…

I’m guessing its a fresh water species, don’t know which type though. I have other outdoor illustrations by Carl that I have found and will post from time to time.
