Every Alaska fishing season starts before the sun does, and this sea otter captain is no exception. His hoodie proudly features the legendary Salty Dawg Saloon in Homer, Alaska. One of Alaska's most iconic waterfront landmarks. Since this artwork is also created and shipped from Homer, Alaska, it's a fun hometown tribute to the harbor that inspires so much of my artwork.
But please don't call this a trawler...
This captain runs a seiner.
A seiner fishes by surrounding a school of fish with a large net that closes like a drawstring purse, allowing fishermen to target specific schools with incredible efficiency. Unlike bottom trawlers, seiners do not drag heavy nets across the ocean floor, helping avoid damage to sensitive marine habitats while greatly reducing unnecessary bycatch. It's one of Alaska's most sustainable commercial fishing methods and a proud tradition for many fishing families.
Printed from my original watercolor painting, each piece is professionally reproduced on high quality watercolor texture paper and carefully mounted to a wooden canvas board, giving it the look and feel of the original artwork. It arrives ready to hang! making it an effortless addition to your home or the perfect gift for the commercial fisherman, deckhand, captain, or Alaska lover in your life.

Shipping from Alaska!
A quick heads up for customers ordering from outside Alaska: Ground shipping travels by barge and can sometimes take up to two weeks. If you'd like your artwork sooner, I recommend spending the couple of extra dollars for Priority shipping. It's flown instead of sent by barge, gets to you much faster, and generally means less time being bounced around during transit. Ground shipping is still an option, just keep the longer travel time in mind when ordering! Thanks for supporting original artwork and small Alaska businesses!
