Twinning Wahoo for the Gale Force Twins

OK so #1 - YES I've heard of them!

#2 - They mentioned ME? That's crazy!

(If you don't know the Gale Force Twins, you should definitely go check out their YouTube channel - they make some incredibly informative videos about fishing and all kinds of other outdoors-y fun stuff)

Not gonna lie I fan-girled out for a minute there, but was also super-stoked to get started on the concept...their mother wanted me to create a piece as a gift with their logo, and 2 of the same pelagic fish. Twinning gone offshore. I love it.

So...I began:


Here's a closer look at the final piece:

Since this piece has been finished and sent out, I've had the pleasure of meeting them at The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Best of luck to them and all of their future endeavors! Some of the hardest working women in the industry right here:
