This one is the cover for Skeleton Creek in the UK, which I’m pretty sure I’ve shared before. It’s so different from the US version I can hardly believe it. According to this cover, blood will be spilled. Or Kool-Aide.

This is a picture of a favorite fly fishing spot in Montana. I can’t tell you where it is, because it’s full of big fish. I don’t want anyone else catching (and releasing) them. Me no like to share.

The story behind this picture is pretty simple: there’s not a lot of traffic in Walla Walla on a Sunday afternoon. We were taking a bunch of other shots and someone said ‘go sit in the street, see if anyone notices.’ No one noticed.

This is me before going on the Martha Stewart show. It’s the hallway that leads to the green room. Looking back, that was a really long day. Many hours of preparation for eight minutes on air.

We have a glass blowing studio at our house, where my daughter and I love to hang out. This is me melting glass. Stay tuned for future photos of glass work!

I was out fishing for steelhead about a half hour from my house last week. No one was with me, so I had to hook this fish, set up the camera on a rock, set the timer, push the button, pick up the fish, and take the picture. I can’t believe it worked. About a minute later I had the fish unhooked and back with his pals.

This is a piece of concept art my friend Squire Broel made for me for a future project. That’s all I can say. A future blog entry will showcase the many things Squire has done on my projects over the years. Stay tuned!

In other news, I saw Avatar with Jeffrey (the studio director of development) and Squire (the illustrator for all the interior art on Atherton) and we all thought it was pretty good. I think Peter Jackson can spend a couple hundred million a little more effectively, but still, Avatar is worth ten bucks and three hours for sure. Giovanni Ribisi, I think, steels the show as a really bad dude.
