Information about the Fisher:

The Fisher is a member of the family Mustelidae. It is native to large areas of North America stretching from the East Coat to the West, including much of the northern boreal forests of Canada, parts of the upper New England Area and large areas of the Pacific Northwest. The Fisher is sometimes called a “Fisher Cat” but it is not a feline. Both sexes are similar in appearance, but the males are slightly larger – growing to an adult size of 35-47 inches (90-120 cm) and weighing about 8-13 pounds (2-2.5 kilograms.) The Fisher is one of the top predators in it’s environment, and has little to fear from any other animals (apart from humans.) They are extremely agile, quick and intelligent and are opportunistic feeders, taking live prey such as small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, insect but will also feed on fruit, nuts and mushroom. They will even feed on carrion and road kill, such as deer and moose.

• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Artist’s notes:

The Fisher was completed on 10.8.2012. This was a tricky piece – made harder by my attempts to render the fur in a more efficient manner, in manipulating existing fur from another drawing, and trying to match it to the contours of the Fisher. I’m not sure it was entirely successful, but I’ve always struggled with fur, and perhaps if took the long way round it the results wouldn’t have been any better.
