Poofy Guy on a Short Leash


James Christensen, known for his clever whimsy, recently released an instant classic entitled, 'Poofy Guy on a Short Leash.'

'Poofy Guy' is a likely symbol of marriage and the interaction between man and wife. The Poofy Guy is a little self confident, has seen a lot of life, and doesn't want to admit he needs help. The woman, however, is right there to keep things reigned in and to offer her gentle, kind assistance in life regardless. As the artist himself puts it, 'Thank heavens guys like us have someone holding onto us. Otherwise, we'd just spin off into the atmosphere and pop!'

Christensen's bold imagination can be seen in everything he does. Even his religious paintings generally have a touch of fantasy. Be on the lookout for his trademark fish, which can be found in many of his pieces.
