FREDERICK STIVERS - A Christmas Sketch

I am a longtime admirer of artist Frederick Stivers with his ability to create art on what most would figure was discard.  This means originals arted on paper bags, shotgun shell boxes, restaurant table coverings, .  When he posted this sketch on his Instagram story, I asked if I could share here.  

Of course, staying on brand, this was drawn and inked on the back of a Christmas card for a friend.

 
Frederick wrote...  "Of course it’s all a matter of perspective...  As an angler, I realize Santa gets nowhere without the effort and horsepower of great reindeer.  In a world of effort and opportunities, an angler that can deliver the goods at the pointy end of the boat is a gift.  

Don’t be the kid trying to get off the naughty list on the 24th…practice like Christmas depends on it."
 
Follow along with Frederick Stivers on Instagram.  It's worth it.
