“Fishing is fun, ” Christensen says. “It’s a gentle poke at myself, my colleagues and other people who constantly fish in the same old bucket rather than explore new waters.” Popular Christensen artistic touches are here in abundance, including the ornate costumes, and, of course, the trademark fish, symbolizing the fantastic made real.
