Big Blue Catfish

Recommended Posts

I seem to be stuck in this fish theme. I recently did a blue trout and took it to work to show it off. It was very well recieved and some of the guys asked me to make a catfish. So here is the big blue. He is made out of 18 or 20 ga steel he has antique marbles for eyes. He was colored with the torch and clear coated. I will probibly mount it on a bed of river gravel. It is sitting on 167lb peter wright to give a sence of scale.

woody - yeah i thought after i put it, that was a slightly peculier response, but it was an honest one!! :) kind of like jonah in the whale, i know that was meant to be a bad experience, but i always thought it sounded v exciting :) but maybe its just me... ;)
i always liked hollow forms that describe a shape, postleg i think that shape you made stays in the minds eye really well. i might be tempted to paint him if he were mine... like a matt surface.. but that would probably ruin it :)
