Catfish Drawings

[Martin S]

I'm looking for some pencil drawings, or even coloured images, in print form, for my study area at home, and was wondering if anyone knew of places these were available, or of anyone that sold such pictures? I'd specifically like

Liosomadoras oncinus

, any

Ageneiosus

or just any

Auchenipteridae

or

Doradidae

. I know Ian Fuller does them on his site, and there are three coloured prints I'd like of his, but before I decide, was just checking that there is nothing similar out there.
Thanks in advance
Martin

Hi Martin,
You may want to try to get hold of the person who photographed the cats you are interested in. Some people would be very happy to sell you one of their photographs.

Good luck and If I ever finish any of my catfish work, I'll post it....so many ideas, so little time.

[Martin S]

Thanks - not a bad idea actually!
I do like the drawings, but am sure some of the pics would look great framed and mounted.
Well, am sure we'd all love to see your finished catfish work, if and when you have the time to finish it.

Ian (Coryman) does commissions - some of his stuff can be seen on the web (PC?) Mostly Corys but other stuff too - i've seen samples first hand (CSG convention)& they're very good

Hi Richard
Yes, I've seen his stuff on his site (link in OP). He also has a page of watercolour prints on canvas that has some of the fish I'd like, and at only £15 each, a good price, though am not sure on size etc.
Was really just seeing if anyone knew of anything similar - i'd expect commissions to be a lot more money, and this isn't something I have a big budget for!
Thanks
Martin

You would have to look around a bit but there are places online that have older drawings for sale in print form.
If you search for antique fish prints or some such you will see some examples, there are some catfish prints out there to be had .

This for example I have seen prints for sale http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/im ... ge_id=1340

I do have some of Ian's myself and they are very good.

Thanks birger...though am not talking to you at the moment for posting your pic of your new jag
Will probably choose a couple of Ian's and maybe a few photos too, so a mix of both.

I think he was referring to the actual fish (Liosomadoras) that Birger has just got.....
