Had a great time yesterday meeting up with Amadeo Bachar (ab10) and his gorgeous little girl Irma, and Sean Walker (Piscean) and his beautiful wife Laura at Discretion Brewery!!

Amadeo donated some AMAZING works of art and killer hats to AOTY and DOTY and he and I did a little beer tasting together.  :smt004

Then Sean and his wife showed up and Sean gave me the AOTY and DOTY 1st-3rd place plaques and the "perpetual" Sailing Angler Of The Year plaque, and we enjoyed a few pints together.  :smt004

Can't thank both these guys enough for their continued support of both AOTY and DOTY!!

Besides being SUPER talented artists, they are both really really nice guys and it is always a pleasure to meet up with them.

THANK YOU once again Amadeo and Sean!!!!

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

ps...my pics don't do the art justice....every single print and plaque is beautfiul and I KNOW they guys who get them will be super stoked!!!  :smt007 :smt007

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.”

Those are cool.  Never thought to put an ab on the stringer like on IceColdChucks plaque.  But then again he dives with one glove and holes in his kayak. 

Do the artist have websites that sell their works?

Amadeo has a great website here:

www.abachar.com

Sean is working on his, but you can always contact him here via PM:

http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?action=profile;u=112

They also both do commission work so don't be afraid to contact them and ask if you have an idea in your head of something you want.

Thanks Jim.  They don't want to know what's in my head.  But they obviously have talent and their contributions are a blessing.  I would love to commission a one of a kind.  I will talk to the wife and see what she thinks.

+1, beautiful works of art...
