On a hike during my East Coast visit I came across a deer that was hit by a truck and died a few yards into the forest. I went home and grabbed a knife and camera to take a few photos and the buck tail. A month later the vultures and nature striped the carcass clean down to the bones.
I had this idea—how interesting would it be to reuse the buck tail for some fishing flies and catch a fish on it. Below are the flies tied from the dead deer and the fish caught with them. Death and Rebirth at its most pure form.
ARTWORK : : All artwork above was created with Xylene Blender Markers to transfer artwork to water color rough surfaced paper. I then scanned in the Solvent Transfer artwork to the computer.
