Title: Archery artwork
Post by: ChopOH on June 17, 2011, 11:30:00 PM
Anyone have any good leads for archery artwork?

Re-doing my family room and looking for prints/photos to complement Black Widow and P&Y prints, plus a bunch of photos from my own trips to the woods.

Thanks!

Jack Paluh comes to mind right away.

Amen.  Jack Paluh's stuff is phenomenal IMO.  I bought one piece where two woodland indians are hunting a gobbler and the hens nearby sense something isn't right.  Anyone who's hunted turkey with a stick have had this happen.  He captured that moment and their body language perfectly.  Sorry for rambling...  Check out his webpage.

Pat Marino did a number of photo arts about trad archery. It included Fred Bear, Glenn St.Charles, Ishi, etc. I think his business is Heritage Prints, but you will have to do a search.

Yep Jack Paluh is the best!  Oh how I wish I had bought some of those prints years ago.

Dan Christ is really good also. Google him to find the web site.

I have a few from Jack Paluh and you cannot go wrong there (great customer service also)!

I saw a disturbing photo of Terry Green floating around. I think he had his shirt off.  Come to think of it, I think it was back up for auction this year.  

Must be jealousy and the guy couldn't take his wife looking at it any longer    ;)      ;)      :readit:

I may have something of interest too.  I have dozens of photographic images available as fine art "Giclees" printed with archival inks on 100%cotton, acid free, fine art papers.  Many of the prints were first published on the covers of Traditional Bowhunter, Trad Archers World and PBS Magazine.  Please note that when a TG member makes a purchase I donate 50% of the profits to the TG St. Jude funraiser.  In fact I'm making my 2011 check out to St. Jude this weekend.  Not a heavyweight amount, but like Terry says "every bit helps."  You can go to my studio website (www.logsdonstudios.com) or the link on TG sponsor Brothers of the Bow.  By the way, although my site doesn't currently indicate it, I intend on offering smaller size prints soon for those that want to own the same quality print but at a lower price.

FYI:  For anyone curious the shed on the upper left is the same one I used on the cover of the new DVD, Essential Encounters - Primal Dreams II. The buck ultimately scored well above 210 inches.

Thomas Aquinas Daly
 www.thomasaquinasdaly.com (http://www.thomasaquinasdaly.com)

As good as sporting art gets, IMHO.


"Thomas Aquinas Daly lives an Arcadian lifestyle—both literally and figuratively. He was raised near Buffalo, New York and schooled in Niagara Falls, a city that in the 1940s he says was “horrible and dirty”, a city he could not wait to escape. “I had something in my makeup that made me want to be in the country.” When he discovered his twenty acre farm in Arcade, New York, he says “I felt like I had come home.” And here, for the last 21 years, he is happy, living in a 200 year old house, painting in his barn loft, living as close to nature as the modern world will allow. Each fall he sets up deer stands in his woods and readies his homemade bows and arrows for the fall hunt. All year his wife Chris prepares gourmet meals almost entirely from his kills and homegrown fruits and vegetables. While some might call him reclusive, this writer found him to be warm and natural, perfectly at harmony with himself and the world".

I am friends with Jack and own a couple of his originals. He is a fine bowshot, a lefty that loves his Roy Hall longbows. On top of being a great artist, he is one of the nicest guys I know!

I am also fond of Mr Logston, a fellow Murray State grad and in my opinion, the best photographer around. Just look at that cover art!

I say a little of both would make your room look awesome! Since I don't own any of Gary's work I think I am going to pick up one of his too! Good luck!

My Name is Kenn Paulson, I did this artwork for Mike Mitten. I can do anything you want, custom, in granite. This will last forever, an heirloom. If you have any interest in talking about possibilities you can e-mail me at [email protected]. Your only limited to your imagination.

I love Gary Logsdon's work, Jerry Gowin's comes to mind as well when I see such awesome photography. I would love to take any of their  photo's and create my interpretation in granite for something that would last forever. Gene Wensel asked if I would create something for PBS, I have some ideas I'm chewing on. If you have ideas you would like to share please do. This piece will be auctioned or raffled off at the Professional Bowhunters Society annual meeting next year.

Kenneth, I'd be pleased if you would like to interpret one of my past or future photographs for either the PBS concept OR an idea of your own.
