"Themes run through nearly every artist's work. Sometimes a combination of themes creates a theme unto itself. This image, like 'Piscatorial Percussionist' and 'Serenade for an Orange Cat,' depicts one of my ornate costumes. If you look closely, you'll see this is not your everyday bassoon, and the bassoonist isn't ordinary, either. Note how our hero has adapted: he has eleven fingers... just a little something extra I was pleased to include." - James Christensen
