Meet Joey Jobes: he grew up in Havre de Grace, Maryland — the youngest son of Capt. Harry R. Jobes, a legendary waterman and decoy carver — and started whittling and painting decoys in his dad’s shop as a kid. He struck out on his own in 1976, splitting his time between fishing, crabbing, and turning blocks of wood into birds with insane detail and bold color.
This is generations of Chesapeake Bay tradition, every feather stoke’s a story you can almost hear. 🎨🦆🪵
