Bryan kotwica has done most of the work for ye catalogs and lots of other info. You should be able to google him

Bryan's a great guy and the most efficient subcontracting climber I've ever worked with.

Looking for art lessons?

[Tom Dunlap]

I bid, and won, the original drawing that Bryan did for the Index page of the Sherrill catalog

I'm guessing that's you Tom?

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Good guess!

Look in The Tree Climber's Companion for the SRT picture too.

Very nice Tom.

Bryan definately captures the "essance" of tree work and workers in his drawings. I believe his illustrations in the Sherrill catelogs were one of the main forces of their early success.

I had a local graphic artist, who is an excellet illustrator do some artwork for me. Its amazing what he did from just a picture I gave him.
He has done all the Mercury outboard motor calanders for quite a few years now as well as work for the snowmobile/ATV industry.
The humour in his work reminds me of the sometimes jovial attitude protrayed in Bryan's drawings.
