An internationally-recognized artist, Ray Troll’s creations give voice to Alaska’s finned and feathered creatures in a cartoony, yet insightful way that makes you look twice. Rude, belligerent fish speak their minds in his wild and wacky world of Alaskan fish art.
His store, Soho Coho Art Gallery (located in a 5-star building that used to be a dance hall/brothel on Creek Street), is filled with vibrant designs and funny sayings on hundreds of t-shirts, posters, calendars, cards and books.
Troll is a leader in the Ketchikan art community, and Soho Coho also includes the work of many of his fellow artist friends: Chip Porter, Evon Zerbetz, Terry Pyles and Dave Rubin.
Visit Soho Coho for a trip down Ketchikan’s version of the rabbit hole. Pick up a shirt or hoodie with a classic Troll witticism such as, “If you must smoke, smoke salmon” or “Spawn till you die,” and wear with pride.
