I am Brian Saupe a local artist, born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. My wife Brenda and I are raising four children Crystal, Ashley, Shawn and Gehrig. I own a custom paint shop CUSTOM CRAFTS UNLIMITED, I have had my doors open for twenty six years. I enjoy painting, specialized in pin striping, airbrush work and custom paint jobs. Special thanks to Kraig Holdren for helping me with the salmon's name and to my wife for finding the perfect crystal “volcano” eyes. Creating this fish has been fun for me and I am looking forward to seeing all the other salmon on parade.
