Cody’s Custom Creations

“I came across Cody’s art when a friend of mine posted a custom piece he had done on Instagram. I had to have one. Now I know why I had been saving all of my old license plates for the past decade. I received a striking wall piece that consisted of plates from my old fly fishing guide rigs, drift boat trailers and my wife’s car from when we were dating. Once you see one of his pieces, it will be hard to resist putting one on your wall.” — Geoff Samples, FILSON Wholesale Account Representative
