For the past several weeks i’ve been working non-stop 16-20 hr days on the Wes Hixon project, which was completed yesterday at 5 pm. I created a 72-page catalog, a folding self-mailer, a complete logo redesign, business cards, a 10′ wide x 8′ tall tradeshow backdrop & a 36′ wide x 8′ tall tradeshow backdrop (yes, i said thirty-six feet), all in full hi-resolution. Last night was my first real sleep since before Christmas! Here’s a look at the smaller (10′x8′) tradeshow backdrop. The catalog will be posted online one of these days & I’ll link to it then. Visit Wes Hixon’s website on my links panel to the right.

A new look for Creek and Trail
I am currently working hard on a client’s design project, but made the time this weekend to design a new screensaver for myself. I used an old map of the southeast from the turn of the century (guess i have to specify early 1900′s now) which centers on the Smoky Mountains & the A.T. (my stomping ground for all things outdoor recreational)
Once in a Blue Moon
I have been waiting for this video for a few months & got it as a Christmas present. This does not disappoint. Wonderful cinematography, great casting & amazing fish, all with a great concept behind it (the mouse year). If you like this clip, you’ll love the dvd. A must have for all fly fishermen & a great look at the diversity in trout feeding behavior.

Outdoor Adventure and Travel
Outdoor Adventure and Travel. When I hear it, visions of the great outdoorsmen come to mind and I dream of a swift departure from the hectic, technology driven life we live. My mind wanders to mountain ridges & valleys, from fly-fishing in the Smoky Mountains to stalking game & fishing for salmon in Alaska.
Fueling those visions of grandeur is Wes Hixon’s Outdoor Adventure & Travel. Not limited to continents & countries, Wes has offered world-class hunting and fishing in some of the most impressive locations this planet has to offer for more than 25 years.

“Awe”some Brown Trout Oil Painting
Here is an amazing artist from Vancouver. This oil painting makes me dream of being on the river.
The Anytime, Anywhere Fly
Here’s an awesome fly with several variations. Similar to the ever popular wooly bugger, the “Anytime, Anywhere” is a fly that John Bolton introduced me to, which has been a very effective fly on many creeks & rivers. Below is a link to a “How-to” for this great pattern.
