Hey you are right about his framing talents, but did he show you his fishing photos on his i-pod at the boat show - he catches and releases trout in the 30" range. Good at a lot of things I guess!

We were at his shop last night talking art and fishing. We collect the TPWD saltwater stamp prints and he always does an outstanding job on the framing. He was just leaving when we got there, but he stopped, took off his coat, and spent the next 30 minutes helping us select the right mattes and frames for each print. It's seldom that you find personal service like that these days. Just a word of warning though: be careful when you go in there because it's easy to walk out with a lot more than you'd planned on buying.

Cool thread. I have a few stamp prints in my office and one of them is a Dearman. Don't think they are worth anything, as I see them pretty often.
1990 TPWD Saltwater stamp and print 1527/2100
I have a 1987 and 1988 stamp prints with the same series number.
Any idea?

Cool print birdnester.

See, Dave, I knew you were not the only one that fished in those white shorts!

**Wolf6151** · #38 01-27-2008, 06:30 PM

Question? Do you guys that buy Dearmans work, buy the Original Art, Giclee prints, or Limited Edition Prints? I've been looking at his stuff for a while now and want to get several of them.

I've never seen it either and can't find it on the i-net. Guess I'll call Luis tomorrow! I like it though, and fishnlab, Dave usually fishes in pink shorts unless he's fishing with Angel, then he(Angel) get's to wear em.
