| I have lots of artwork....most of which I'd like to get rid of.
I used to be an avid duck hunter. I have The Ducks Unlimited Print of the Year with the gold seal for 2 consecutive years.
I have 2 Federal Duck Stamp prints with matching serial numbers.
I have a Wisconsin State Stamp print with a remark that is bigger than the print itself. I watched the guy do the remark. It took him about 2 hours to do. Very cool to watch.
Now I'd like to sell them and get some muskie related art or maybe a whitetail print or two.
Anybody into waterfowl artwork?

| I have a print of "On the figure eight" by Mark Susinno above my desk that is one of the best pieces of Muskie art that I've ever seen. Mark has only done a couple of muskie prints, but his work is as good as just about anyone else I've seen. He typically does salt water fish, and is an avid diver. I've also got a Smallie and a Largemouth by Al Agnew on the adjacent wall that I like quite a bit even though they are not muskie prints. Both artists put out near photo like quality. My uncle Neal won the Federal Duck Stamp two different times in 1989/1990 I think, and in 1994/1995 so I've actually got to meet both artists going to art shows with him and my dad. Both good guys that have been able to enjoy the life that their success has provided.

Here is the one I have, but this is a really washed out image of it and does not do the painting any justice.

Location: Muskoka Ontario,Canada | I'm a big fan of art especially fish related of course. Charles Weiss is amazing!
I'm actually working on a piece that I am going to submit to Musky Hunter magazine when it's done in the hopes of a cover. I'll be sure to post it here when it's completed. I actually won a province wide art contest when I was nine years old and the artwork got hung in the Royal Ontario Museum for their Dinosaur Month celebration at the time. needless to say I was one proud little boy! |

Location: Sun Prairie, WI | I have several Scott Zoellick muskie prints, all with a remark, my favorite being Moonlight Muskie.
I purchased that one from him at the Milwaukee show several years ago and he did the remark as a show special.
Total cost at the time $125, it certainly has gone up in value as have all the others. |

Location: Medford, WI | I have two hanging up in my room at home by Garrett Shipman, "Golden Frontier" and I can't think of it. He was my sixth grade teacher and basketball coach throughout high school. Avid musky fisherman and he makes the Big Daddy baits, which some of you probably know of. Very talented artist and a great guy. He's been on the cover of MH numerous times; most recently just an issue or two back with the musky swiping at a Jake coming out of the weeds.
I'll take some pics when I'm at home this weekend.
Here's a link to a few of his paintings: http://www.muskyhuntercatalog.com/acatalog/Garett_Shipman.html
One of his prints is also on the cover of "The Complete Guide to Musky Hunting" - 2nd Version.
I'm really interested in any musky-related art, so if anyone has any links, please post them.
Thanks, Jake |

| The Fargo-Moorhead Muskies Inc. Chapter had a special print commissioned by an award winning artist. It features the late Al Skaar and the founder of Muskies Inc., Gil Hamm as a ghost image in the clouds. Actually, it can be purchased right now very reasonably priced. I have one hanging in my bedroom.
Here is what it looks like:

Love the ambiance of his paintings. Larry Tople too. Their paintings really "feel" like you are looking underwater. |

| Esox Man, that is an awesome hybrid print. I've been thinking of buying it as well. When it comes to photo like realism Susinno is unparalled. You really have to see his paintings in person to truly appreciate how good they really are.

| Don, my brother is handling the sales of that print for our Chapter. He works with the artist who painted it and can get the regular print and maybe even Artist Proofs or remarqed prints. He can give you all the details. Brett is his name and he can be contacted at this e-mail address: [email protected]
It's a really nice print, and you can't beat the price. Thanks.

Location: north central wisconsin | Ryan(wizard), I have been looking for that print for years. I saw it once at a sports show and still think it is the best Musky print i have ever seen. I would love to add it to the prints in the room. There is a print out there of a musky eating a Reef Hawg(might be zoelick but not sure) that is really good too. Any info on ordering that print, Wizard?

| Try wildwings.com Susinno has been part of Wild Wings for probably twenty years and the print was listed on there for $95, otherwise google Mark Susinno and see if you might find a deal.

| I also love Mark Sussino artwork. I have the same prints that Esox Man and Fish Wizard has along with a newer one with a musky/creeper in the pads. I also have a northern one. All these are in our family room with is aply called the esox room. I have a couple other prints of his and my dad is more into trout/smallies/walleye and has at least a half dozen of his prints displayed. I also did what Esox Man did with his in that I have a replica of the bait hanging with each picture.
I am lucky in that Mark is a local for me and I have purchased most of my prints directly from him as artist proofs and had him put on a remark. I am like a kid in a candy store when we go to his house and look at all his prints.
Its amazing the research he puts into his work as he has boxes of pictures of fish from under water shots to extreme close-ups of scales that he uses for his paintings.
I know they used to have the one Esox Man has pictured up at Rollie and Helen's.

Location: Southern W.Va. | Wow!!!! I can't believe it. So many great prints. Muskymeyer has a print called "Chippawa Flowage" that I had on the back of my door when I was about 14 or 15 years old. The one that I had was a centerfold pull out from Outdoor Life, Field & Stream or Sports Afield. Didn't think I'd ever see a print of that again.
To Muskymeyer :
Thanks for the memories, it brought a smile to my face

| I'm not much into wanting musky art on my walls, but I never liked the ones where they show the fish hooked.
Always had a preference for the pics showing them in a more natural action. |
