a delightful blast from the not-so-far past from Jeff Kennedy and the much missed Drawing Flies 52 project.
i’m not the nostalgic type but Jeff’s and Jason Borger‘s fly and fish art collaboration where very special. their art is still out there, easily viewable for anyone willing to do a little research. i guess its the “what’ll they come with next week ?” i miss most.

the Bunyan Bug stone
more fantabulous heavy medium fly art by Jason Borger
“This is decidedly non-traditional, thanks to my wife, Kel. We were fishing on a stream near Missoula (the River Runs Through It town), and she spotted this pale, flat rock along with a little dark-orange stone that happened to be soft enough to use as chalk. Well, it took her about two seconds to put the two together and hand me my palette. And since the Bunyan Bug was on tap, I could think of no better way to draw it (and with materials from no better place).”
