Guy Harvey was born in Lippspringe, Germany on September 16, 1955. He is a marine wildlife artist and conservationist.
His marine life artwork, especially sportfish, are very popular with anglers, and they are reproduced in various prints,
posters, tee shirts, hats, jewelry and other items for men, women and youth. Guy Harvey advocates marine conservation
and is the cofounder of the Guy Harvey Research Institute at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
>The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation is Dr. Harvey's latest endeavor in the field of ocean conservation.
The International Game Fishing Association maintains records of game fishes caught by anglers, and maintains a set of rules under which
to fish must be caught to qualify for record status. Dr Guy Harvey was recently inducted into the IGFA Hall of Fame in recognition of
his many contributions to the sport of fishing and the conservation of fisheries and the ocean environment world-wide.
Guy Harvey was raised in Jamaica, West Indies. Guy Harvey is a 10th generation Jamaican of English heritage as his
family immigrated to Jamaica in 1664. Harvey graduated from Aberdeen University in Scotland in 1977 with highest honors in
Marine Biology. He then continued on to earn a Doctorate in Fisheries Management from the University of the West Indies in 1982.
In 1985, he depicted Ernest Hemingway's famous fishing story "The Old Man and the Sea" in a series of 44 original pen-and-ink
drawings and displayed them at an exhibition in Jamaica. Based on the positive response he received at this show, Guy began
painting full time and, by 1988, was providing custom artwork for use on a variety of products.
Harvey's artistic style is mostly to realistically depict warm water marine sport fish in dynamic poses in their natural settings.
His media include water color, oil, and acrylic. His original paintings have been composed on water color paper, canvas,
and wall murals. His art is routinely reproduced on canvas, fine art prints, posters, and books, as well as being licensed
for use in merchandising such as T-shirts, aloha-style shirts, belts, hats etc.
Guy Harvey's Portraits from the Deep is a syndicated television series that combines the showcasing of sport fishing destinations
with educational information from marine scientists in an entertainment format.
Guy Harvey has two books currently in print. The first, Guy Harvey Portraits From The Deep is a large-format coffee-table book.
Harvey's second book, Santiago's Finest Hour, is an illustrated depiction of the protagonist Santiago's fight with a fish in the
Ernest Hemingway novella "The Old Man and the Sea".
Guy Harvey has donated portions of the proceeds from the sale of his artwork and merchandise to various causes dedicated to the
protection of the marine environment and advocacy for responsible and sustainable commercial and recreational fishing.
In 1999, he teamed with Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to found the Guy Harvey Research Institute
at Nova's Oceanographic Center. The institute conducts research on the ecology, genetics, behavior, physiology, and evolution
of fishes. Research areas include shark ecology and conservation, stingray ecology and conservation, and artificial reef
design and monitoring.[2] Harvey continues to speak on ocean conservation and other topics at universities, symposia, and other
venues. His work in the field of game fish conservation led to him being included in the International Game Fish Association
Hall of Fame.

Widely recognized as the world’s finest freshwater fish and wildlife artist, Al Agnew has created artwork of popular freshwater game fish
and North American wildlife. Now, that Al Agnew artwork is available on a variety of items including T-shirts, Sweatshirts/Fleecewear, Technical
Fishing Shirts, Hats, Jackets, Towels, Belts and more.
Al Agnew was raised in the rural Ozarks of southern Missouri where, from an early age, his father and grandfather took him fishing every
weekend — unless they went hunting. By the time he was nine, Al Agnew was riding his bike a mile to the river to catch smallmouth bass, and was
floating the river in a small johnboat by the time he was 14. He hunted the woods and, while in high school, won local bass tournaments and
purchased his first canoe and bass boat. Not surprising, art was Al Agnew's other love, and his skill was such that he even sold some paintings
before he enrolled at Southeast Missouri State University. There, he chose to work toward a teaching degree, with a major in art, and after
graduating, taught art at a small school in southern Missouri, all the while painting in his spare time. Having sold a few pieces and then
winning the first conservation stamp contest he’d entered (the Missouri trout stamp), Al Agnew made the decision in 1983, with encouragement from
his wife, to pursue his passion for painting wildlife on a full-time basis. He immediately began selling paintings and has never looked back.
An avid angler who has fished in 30 states, Canada and Africa, Al Agnew has landed almost 80 species of North American fish on hook and line,
s well as five African species. He has flyfished much of the West for trout and steelhead, and nearly a dozen rivers in Alaska for salmon.
Though he’s caught trophy bass in Texas and Florida, and landed big muskie, pike, and walleye in Minnesota and Ontario, his first love is
smallmouth bass fishing. Al Agnew is well-known as an expert on river smallmouth, and his river fishing tactics and adventures have been featured
in national outdoor magazines. He is a popular speaker at fishing seminars throughout the Midwest, and is an acknowledged master of stream
fishing from a canoe.
Al Agnew is also an avid bowhunter who has sought elk in Idaho, mule deer in Colorado, and caribou in Alaska, besides the whitetails and wild turkeys
in his native Ozarks. He also enjoys shotgunning for cottontails, quail, and doves. He grew up squirrel hunting with a .22 rifle, and still prides
himself on his expertise in rifle shooting with open sights.
Al Agnew’s artwork is also in much demand among conservation organizations, where it has helped in raising millions of dollars to benefit wildlife
through organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, the National Wild Turkey Federation, the Black Bass Foundation, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation,
the Wolf Recovery Project, and on an international level, the Cullman and Hurt Community Wildlife Project in Africa’s Tanzania. Al is also active
in working with national, state and local fisheries and conservation organizations supporting bass, trout and river protection.
