"Beneath the fish, costumery and music lies the imagination of James Christensen. In A Journey of the Imagination: The Art of James Christensen, the serious thread is the power and importance of imagination; the rest is humor and fun. Jim uses humor, 'the lubricant that keeps life from chafing at our tender places,' as his vehicle for communicating his ideas. "One of my aims as an artist is to provide a point of departure for the viewer's imagination.' . ..Visually, Journey is chock full of imagery: reproducuons of paintings and sketches of all sorts of characters and stuff of imagination. Unlike many coffee tables art books, this is not a casual read.
