Great, Ahem, Art!

Washington native Ben Miller is a painter of landscapes, focusing on river scenes to raise awareness about conservation.

Oddity Central reported that it's his painting method that makes him stand alone: He applies paint to fishing flies that he makes himself, then flings them at a piece of plexiglass positioned several feet away.

Having learned fly fishing from his dad, Miller hits the precise mark he's aiming for every time.

He said he sometimes gets approached by police because people assume he's fishing out of season, but they've always been understanding. [Oddity Central, 11/8/2023]
