Spawn Till You Die: The Fin Art of Ray Troll - Ray Troll

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRay Troll's new \nbook Spawn Till You Die: The Fin Art of \nRay Troll is an exuberant plunge into the fantastic realities of sea \ncreatures and prehistoric animals that come alive with scientific realism and \nhis quirky sense of humor. For more than four \ndecades, this celebrated Alaskan artist has been luring, hooking, and landing \nfans around the world with his mesmerizing renditions of the inhabitants of \nPlanet Ocean, past and present. His art is featured in the nation's major \nnatural history museums including the Smithsonian, in galleries, and in books, \nas well as on immensely popular T-shirts. Part natural history adventure and \npart underground comic, his work depicts beautiful and accurately drawn fish of \nall kinds, Northwest Coast totems, Freud and Darwin, fossils, resurrections of \nextinct animals, and much more.\n \n \n Troll's art is deeply thought provoking \n(pun intended) but also simply fun to experience and never far from an inside \njoke he seems to be sharing with everyone. Some of his pieces are amusingly \ntongue-in-cheek, others are beautifully surrealistic and evocative of the \ninterconnectedness of life on Earth, and his grandly composed major pieces are \nbrilliant, inspiring panoramas of the natural world. His whimsy and attention \nto detail in his renderings of fish and other aquatic creatures has earned him \na devoted following of scientists, anglers, and people who just like a good \nlaugh. Welcome to the fishy, funny, inspiring art of Ray Troll. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n
