We know a little about Liz Fisher, a scrimshaw artist that worked at a shop in the Quincy Marketplace in Boston around 1984. Actually that’s all we know about her. Wonderful design, great expression. Reminds me a little of the comic book art from that era: not overly detailed yet expressive – just enough stippling to create shadows – that’s a talent.
The owner of the knife would like to get back in contact with her. If you know her whereabouts and if she’s still creating art of any type, please feel free to comment in the section below!
