Fish Face Goods Illustrator Troy Thomas Talks About His New Vintage Bronco Design
I wanted to tell you a little more about my new vintage Bronco four-wheel drive design . I love the older style trucks. The illustration has now been added to a t-shirt. I'm continuing on the theme of drawing off-road vehicles that get you where you want to go - into the outdoors.

Fish Face Celebrating 25 Years in the Outdoor T-shirt Business
t”s Our Silver Anniversary! No, not Joanie and I (We’re 37 years in.). Fish Face Goods and I are celebrating 25 years together. Like most marriages, there’s been ups and downs (uh, COVID was a biggie). But for the most part, it’s been a marriage made in heaven. I couldn’t have chosen a more perfect partner. I love her dearly.
The Early Days of Fish Face
In 1993 I really began to get burned out on making my living as a freelance illustrator. I had built a core group of clients, but the problem was that I would be given the same topic from multiple art directors each week. Frankly, this just became a little boring. By then, I was all-in on the sport of freshwater fishing. Wanting to break away from editorial illustration, I got the idea of doing illustrations/designs for fishing shirts. Easier said than done.
