The last 2 trout skins sold yesterday so it looks like I need to finish some up! I’ve got 8 going … let you know when they’re finished.
Seems I’ve got to watch everything I say on my own Blog … LOL … I’ve got reporters coming in here, quoting me and writing stories without my permission. Wow! Never thought I’d have this lovely problem. LOL
So the bugguttin’ is still on … trying to get a publisher for the book.
What a beautiful place … Can’t wait to tell you all about it. I’ve been elected as the “honorary artist” to do commissioned paintings for their guests. I’ll be painting many Stone Cutts and looking forward to it.
Ryan Sansoucy … Owner of Hush Fishing Co. in Woodstock, CT has invited me to the East Coast for some adventurous fly fishing & filming … Watch out!
I’ll be filming with Unveiled Productions as they take an inside look at the lives and passions of fly anglers from all walks of life. Â I guess I made the list. lol
Then I’ll be filming with NE Anglers … Starring in their chic anglers’ show. This should be a hoot! :) The pressure is on to learn the double-haul. lol
I’m picking up the Ducati in Vegas soon … And Yes! More Bug Art this summer! I’ll be “splatting the hatch” June - August. Hope to see you on the road … I’ll be kind and keep it under 100.
Tight lines and as always … Thanks for your support.
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve blogged. I’ve been on Facebook … Started an AD Maddox group. Please look me up.
I moved back to the same studio I was in before I moved to Vegas … Really sick of moving. lol
So I’m settled in and just started painting again today. More trout skins are on the easel and starting back on a cutty in the water.
All is fantastic! I’m a happy little artist as usual … Picking up my Ducati in Vegas in 2 weeks and doing a photo shoot for the Catalogues Magazine in May. More Bug Art as I promised. Can’t wait for the press to get on this one.
Like they say … Any Press is Good Press.
Come and get it … I’m tossin’ the fly.
Packaging up the last 30 of the edition … “Took the One” on paper is almost sold out … then I start with the Canvas Edition. The Canvas Edition will be more expensive.
January 2009 will bring New Prints … I’ve got 7 new ones in the Que … let you know soon which ones.
Painting Trout Skins tomorrow … Looking forward to building my new house and having an extra large studio!!!

Looks like the carpet got here today and it’s a mess! I’m assembling all the shelves, tables and about to unpack the easel! Painting starts tomorrow and I can hardly wait!
I’m starting with the Trout Skins! I’ve a few remote boxes I might finish up and definitely the abstract trout. Talk soon when the paint is actually flying.

Ugh! Still waiting for the carpet and then I’ll be able to get this Artist Pad Rolling!
I’ve been fortunate enough to have awesome help in such a short period of time since I’ve been back. But still I’m anxious to get back on the canvas. Something about the ever so elusive trout in the water … challenges me every time. What colors? Cold? Hot? Detailed? or Loose? … eh … I’m thinking warped and loosely abstract. Just a subtle hint that there’s a beautiful slippery sucker in that paint mess. Hmmm? And out of all the trout … the Brown trout is my favorite to paint BTW. You might like to know.
Art sales and the Econ Crunch? Yipes! I think I will avoid the obvious and say at this moment in time … I’m planning to have an incredible time in the studio. My paint dungeon … My space … So I’ll just have me some fun and let the brush flow.
3 more days and counting!!!!! BTW … I miss riding my Ducati 999! It’s in storage in Vegas at the racetrack. I just put a new Termi exhaust system on ‘er and she purrs like a lion. I’m bug-gutting for sure this summer. I’ve got a special mount being built for ‘er. I’m shooting for 50 canvases and a book! … Why? It’s a game. Games are fun and create interest … thus it’s fun attention units.

Looks like the online store is up and running.
I was on the phone for hours to get this task complete so now you can take a look and buy all you’d like. I’ve only 30 Took the One’s available … that’s why the price is up … the paper edition is almost complete. I’ll have 10 Artist Proofs on paper then I start into the 90 canvas prints and these will start around $500. So get the paper one while you can.
The studio is still being built … can’t wait to slap the paint and get more Trout Skins painted. I’ll keep you posted!
