I love(d) James Christensen's sense of humor and fancifulness.

He was a master.

Somehow he balanced massive detail without making it look cluttered.  Now if only I could do that in my home (and not have to dust it all).  I love having something that tells a story no matter where I turn my eyes.

I really think its funny; (mainly) in the mountain west, both Mormons and Anti-Mormons take themselves so seriously. The rest of the country knows what a small percentage of the total population we really are.
