DIRTY SALMON- A5 Limited Edition Sockeye Salmon Art Print

I didn’t print these at first as the subject isn’t a carp—but a few of you messaged asking for one, so here it is.

This is the artwork for my ‘Dirty Salmon’ hook baits, based on a Sockeye salmon—which, in my mind, is just as gnarly as the scaley old carp I love fishing for. Weirdly, for most of their lives they look like your standard salmon, right up until spawning. Then the males develop a hooked jaw, teeth, humped back—and shift from silver to deep red with green heads. In my mind… incredible. They die shortly after spawning.

Tattoo flash–style illustration inspired by old-school tattooer Zeiss. Printed at A5 on heavyweight Perlo Cotton 350gsm—the best paper I can get my hands on—and each one is hand-signed.

It’ll sit right at home in a fishing shed, garage, office, or wherever you keep the bits that make you smile.
