James Deloria's "Year of the Bluegill"

You might remember James Deloria from a few past T.F.M posts and recently he sent this image of an oil pastel that he did back in 1983 that has since hung on a friend's wall in northern Michigan.  

I guess James was making bluegill cool thirty years before the "Year of the Bluegill" was even thought up.
