No. 365

No. 365! What a journey it has been. So we exit this year with my version of the Wolly Willy. It is called Wolly Bugger (not very original, but it works.) I remember this toy growing up as a kid. I happened to find one on the internet and I converted it so magnetic flies could be drawn.

Many have emailed and asked "What's next for this blog?" Well folks, you will have to wait until tomorrow to find out. So stop back Jan1 2009 so I can fill you in on the details. Have a safe and Happy New Year's and while you are celebrating, find some way to draw or create your own fly tonight. Draw one on a napkin, fashion it out of snack food or arrange some cocktail tooth picks into a fly. See everyone back here on the 1st!

About Drawing Flies

I initiated the creation of this blog as a challenge. The challenge is to draw a fly a day for an entire year. Part of the challenge is the discipline to accomplish this every day and the other is to expand my creativity and to help find my artistic voice. The sky is the limit on how the flies will be created. You may have wondered, "why is he drawing flies?" My other hobby is fly fishing and fly tying. I also welcome the challenge of drawing the natural materials that are used in the flies. So hang on and enjoy the ride for the next 365 days!
