I completed cover work and 17 chapter illustrations for "Growing Gills" by author and poet David Joy.

David's writing transcends the memoirs of a fisherman to depict a psychological picture of the passion to learn life on the water. His commentary on his surroundings, his inquisitive imagination, and his lifelong research and intimate connection with fish provide us a literature in which we can appreciate the beauty of what it is to inhabit an environment as a fish.
