Lack of advertisers gives artist shot at Washington fishing rules cover

FISHING --  Northwest Sportsman Magazine editor Andy Walgamott has an interesting tidbit about the illustration on the cover of the new fishing rule pamphlet (see item below this post).

"With this year’s cover going unsold (previous issues’ have had ads for Pavati Marine and Alumaweld), the regs feature “Heartbreaker,” a painting of a leaping rainbow by Fred W. Thomas, a Shoreline artist whose Web site says he’s the guy who came up with the Eskimo on the tail of all those Alaska Airlines jets."
