Review (PDF) Ray Troll's Shocking Fish Tales: Fish, Romance, And Death In Pictures
First published in 1991 by Alaska Northwest, this book introduced a new audience to the often edgy, always observant and colorful fish art made semi-famous by the T-shirts and cards hauled out of the Northwest by fans of this Ketchikan artist. The mysteries of the deep, the strange, the hideous and the wonderful all appear on the canvas and in the words of this highly original, wacky work. Full-color throughout.

At times poetic, at times informative, and at times just entertaining, this book is a must for anyone who likes fish, fishing or just great art. The two guys who collaborated on this book found a fun way of sharing their fish passion with the reader. Ray Troll's artwork has a charming folk quality with a bit of twisted humor reminiscent of Gary Larsen. This book is a quick read and something you can pick up and enjoy again and again. Loved it!
I've been a Ray Troll fan for a long time. I've owned t-shirts, coffee mugs and this book. Also saw his 'show' on evolution at the San Francisco Aquarium sometime back. His art is funny, surreal, beautiful and, sometimes, pointedly instructional (how to treat the planet). I recommend this book and go to his site and buy a t-shirt.
I am very pleased with my purchase and love the artwork
