Sunday evening at the Whale Museum – it’s Ray Troll!

Trolling for a good time - check out Ray!

If you’re looking for a fun evening in Friday Harbor, drop by the Whale Museum tonight, because Ray’s on the island…here’s the scoop from Jenny:

The Whale Museum’s Artist and Author Series: An Evening with Ray Troll

The Whale Museum is pleased to welcome Alaskan artist, author and humorist Ray Troll on February 20 at 6:00 pm for an evening presentation. Ray Troll has been cranking out fishy T-shirts for nearly three decades, gaining him a widespread audience among fisher folks, scientists, and fellow paleo-ichthyo-freaks around the globe. He has appeared on the Discovery Channel, lectured at Cornell, Harvard and Yale, shown work at the Smithsonian and has even had a ratfish named after him (Hydrolagus trolli). Not too bad for a t-shirt wearing kinda’ guy.

The focus of the February 20 event is Ray’s latest book, Something Fishy This Way Comes, which gathers the cream of the his art crop. During the evening, Ray will talk about the twists and turns of his quirky career and share background tidbits on many of his best-known designs along with a few that never got off the drawing board. For more information, check out Rays’ website: www.trollart.com.
The February 20th event will be held at The Whale Museum and begins at 6 p.m. with a reception. Copies of the bookSomething Fishy This Way Comes will be on sale and Ray will be available to sign. The event is free to the public (suggested donation of $10 per person would be appreciated). For more information, call (360) 378-4710 ext. 26.
