Artist John McLean creates one-of-a-kind prints inspired by angling

About


I've lived much of my life on the water. If pressed, I'll confess that my heart lies in the deeper reaches of Everglades National Park, a legit wilderness I've spent a good chunk of the last 30 years exploring, often by my lonesome. My love affair with angling has led me to chase game fish in many spots around the globe.

I've spent the last 25+ years working as a Art/Creative Director in a corporate environment. My professional focus on marketing and promotional graphics led to an after-hours pursuit in the form of Glades Wear, our Everglades-inspired apparel line. I then moved on to fine art, and Slickfish.art was born.

My art technique is decidedly eclectic. Each print begins with a freehand sketch followed by a layered process that includes painting with a drawing tablet, proprietary filters, and extensive color correction. Each piece requires many hours of work and refinement. I enjoy the unmatched versatility of a "digital canvas" that yields distinctive painterly results resembling formats like oils and mixed media. Like most artists, my creations are inspired by my own preferences and experiences, most notably game fish and the invariably beautiful places where they are found.
