Carpe Carpio FISH Designs
The carp has been a subliminal influence on me since I was a child, when I would stare through my mother's glass display cabinet at the figurines depicting a battle between a young boy and a leaping gargantuan carp. This and other tales of carp lore have played a role in developing my fish psyche (whoa). Strangely enough, I don't pursue carp that often, having just discovered the joys of purposely pursuing them over the past few years. I prefer the artificial lure modus operandi instead (I'm too hyper). However, I am trying to hook into a reel screecher (20 lb.+) from my suburban shallow lake. The lake is over 20 years old with carp, channel cats, bass, sunnies and pike. There's GOT to be some porker carp in there, besides the 2 to 10 pounders I've seen. If anybody has any tips, I'd appreciate a note. I have rediscovered the joy of the slower methods of bait fishing as well as finessing small jigs, etc. ANYWAY, a word about my designs.
The resulting fossil-like images stirred my imagination, as I knew the print was from a real fish, yet the image was ghostly, like a death mask, but still alive. I had created two prints, one of a carp and the other a largemouth bass, converted them into silk screens, and introduced my first two t-shirt designs. I always liked drawing fish as a kid, and now I focus my graphics and cartooning skills to my favorite subject, FISH.
The name "Carpe Carpio" is a twisted Latin version of "seize the carp," where carpe means seize, and carpio is part of the species name for carp (cyprinus carpio).
