Fish art by Curt Redden
Trophy fish art, nature art, originals, prints, and underwater photography

Something is Fishy here! Took art at Coker College in the 70s (required for hippies) but wasn't good enough to make a living so, I majored in business. It's a "BS" degree so I figured I'd fit in.  Couldn't earn a living there either so I became a University VP so I wouldn't have to work. Thirty years later, I yearned for the values I once held so dear....fishing, beautiful women, money, and staying young. I just needed a plan!

I had seen guys having their fish stuffed, hanging them over the fireplace awaiting the praise of their wife, which was usually "Deep 6 the plastic dust catcher, Captain Nemo!" He of course refuses, dragging it to what he says is a "more prominent location"---the garage....

Ah Ha!! The money part of my plan was hatched.....I could paint  trophy fish in the exact size, add a trophy plate (exaggerating specs) and sell them to fishermen. I could paint from a photo so catch-&-release was possible, or the fisherman could just lie about catching a fish at all. The wife was happy because she had original art and she would fall for the line ..."we didn't hurt the fishy, honey. This is just his picture." 

Now on to the fishing, beautiful women and staying young part, the only reason you read this far! There are 2 options for looking young when you're older than dirt. One requires sacrifice, gym time & healthy living. My plan, calls for no sacrifice and more plastic surgery. So I married a beautiful plastic surgeon. I get free "mercy surgery" and she gets free fish....works for me!!

 Come on!! Have me paint an original "fish Portrait" for you or your favorite fisherman. You'll agree, the art is not bad...... but the artist is a little Fishy!
