A letter from the founder

Hey, I'm Miles

Miles is the name I sign my work with. I'd rather you know my drawings than my face.

I draw the fish and game on everything we make. One species per design, more than 1,000 so far.

I'm still learning. When we started, people tore my designs apart in the comments. Wrong fin count. A walleye that looked like a perch. They were mostly right, so I drew them again.

That's still how it works. You've held these animals and waited hours for them. When you tell me something's off, the next one is closer.

You keep telling me when I miss.

So here's the deal. I keep drawing the thing you can't stop thinking about, as true to life as I can. You keep telling me when I miss.

Miles Founder & lead artist, DEERLY'S

P.S. Write to me at miles@thedeerly.com, a fix for a drawing or the one that got away. I read them.
