Buster Simpson is a nationally known artist who responds through his artwork to the challenges of environmental issues. Through simple means, Buster attempts to enlighten communities to logical methods of recycling our diminishing resources. Here he has reproduced a symbol with which he is most frequently identified, the fishing lure. The rolled glass suggests the rolling swells of the river in which the fish fights to survive.
He provides new ways to solve old problems while introducing an old fashioned sense of humor.
