I have produced several small sketchbooks for friends which follow a theme. Two of them now have been for fellow fly fishing addicts.

Producing a book of sketchbooks so all the images are consecutive and in manageable folios, is quite a challenge. Presenting them so they can be made into a book which is reproducible is even worse. I have recently been helped by a very talented Professional Book Artist called Meg Green who I met when I was at Art School. https://www.someoddpages.com/

Here is the front age of a book I made for Wylye Flyfishing Club. This is a very conservation minded group of people who love the small chalk streams that flow into the Hampshire Avon above Salisbury. They are trying to restore these streams to how they were 50 years ago with the help of the Environment Agency and the Riparian owners, a process called re-wilding; which is very close to my heart.
