The Story Behind "Lunker Art by Nate"
My nine year old son eats, sleeps and dreams all day about fishing. Recently he took up researching the fish he dreams of catching and began drawing them freehand. Soon, his piles of artwork were filling the house. I said, "Wow, you're getting to be quite the artist! Can I buy one of your originals?"

He laughed and said, "Sure..I'll give 50% to my favorite charities." So I did...just to encourage him. And he decided that he wanted to do more.

So, I began teaching him how to scan his artwork and save to the computer. Next we made up a watermark for him and titled it "Lunker Art" (a "lunker" is the name given to a really big fish). Then we began using an online printing company to help us make the cards.

And now he's selling his artwork on note cards, calendars, and note paper to use to buy fishing gear for himself and while giving 50% to charity. Even more, I'm using this as a way to help him develop his talent for drawing and his passion for fishing. Each time he draws a new fish, he researches and studies the differences in fish, their habitat and their unique characteristics. (I suspect he may become a marine biologist one day...)

Nate's Favorite Charities Include:

  - Children of the Nations International (COTNI) www.cotni.org

  - CAST for Kids: http://www.castforkids.org/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Send me a PM if interested or email Nate at lunkerart@gmail.com - payments can be made to my PayPal account (check or cash are also accepted).

Interested in getting a specific design made? Nate would love to make your request.

Thanks for checking it out.

Nate says, "Thanks! I'm learning. Someone donated a fancy set of coloring pencils to me today, so my colors will be better."

Got my cards in the mail the other day. They are really cool. Everybody can use some cards to have handy for thank-you's, birthdays, etc. This is a great way to support some charities, and support a kid with some serious initiative. If you do any entry level hiring these days, you know that kids like Nate don't grow on trees. I hope he sells enough to fill his tackle box!

Thanks, Angry Perch! Nate's thrilled that you like them.

When I came home from work today, Nate was drawing another sturgeon. He's trying to perfect his work. He's hopeful that one day I'll get him out for a sturgeon fishing trip. (He's a bit young yet, but one day.)

Very cool Nate!  One of the best parts of being a hunter is enjoying the beauty of God's creatures and you are doing just that!  Nice work.
