In this episode of the Tom Rowland Podcast, I sit down with Harley Van Henning, better known as Gnarley Harley, to delve into his unique journey into the world of fish printing.  Harley shares how his mother's formal art training influenced his creative path and how his love for the ocean and surfing shaped his artistic focus.  We discuss the intricate process of fish printing, the challenges of working with different species, and the importance of staying true to one's artistic vision.  Harley also offers advice for aspiring artists and reflects on his experiences traveling and painting fish around the world. Join us for a fascinating conversation about the intersection of art, nature, and passion. 00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:28 Harley's Artistic Journey 01:33 The Influence of Harley's Mother 02:17 The Personal Nature of Art 07:52 Balancing Art and Marketing 13:56 Growing Up in Destin 16:01 Harley's Early Career and Podcasting 23:35 Discovering Gyotaku Art 37:29 The Impact of Fish Printing on Artistic Techniques 39:40 International Adventures in Fish Printing 41:45 Handline Fishing and Unique Catches 51:25 Challenges and Techniques in Fish Printing 55:10 Merchandise and Artistic Inspirations 01:07:46 Advice for Aspiring Artists 01:12:42 Connecting with the Artist 🚀 Special Thanks to Our Sponsor: Star brite https://bit.ly/TomRowlandPodcast 👋 Stay Connected with Tom Rowland: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tomrowlandpodcast Website & Show Notes https://bit.ly/3O4lgn0 Text: +1 (305) 930-7346 Email: podcast@saltwaterexperience.com 🔗 Explore More: All Socials and Links https://linktr.ee/TomRowlandPodcast 🎥 Discover More of Tom’s Shows: Saltwater Experience https://bit.ly/4by096g Into the Blue Fishing https://bit.ly/48VZYju Life on the Water https://bit.ly/3Pp9rbs Learn more about your ad choices.
