A very few people will own one of only 150 Men and Angels Collector’s Editions. This autographed book comes slipcased in rich burgundy bookcloth with a gold-stamped, leather label, lined in acid-free paper and is accompanied by Little Wings, an original stone lithograph created by artist James C. Christensen especially for the Men and Angels Collectors Edition.
The title page of each volume is signed by the artist and is consecutively numbered to match the stone litho. The discerning collector will treasure the book and lithograph package from this extremely limited edition.
Little Wings
Each of heaven’s angels has her own unique set of wings. Some are grand and gleam in the sunlight reflected off the clouds; some are sleek and graceful; some are a riot of peacock colors. This little angel, new to her own heavenly gifts, seems a bit impatient with the speed of their growth. When will she be able to fly like the others, dancing in the light of heaven?
This original stone lithograph was drawn by James C. Christensen, and produced by his long-time collaborator, Master Printer Wayne Kimball. The softly curling lines of Christensen’s impatient angel spring to life with Kimball’s exquisite lithography.

James Christensen 'A Shakespeare Sketchbook' - Tradebook
by Renwick St. James
Artwork by James C. Christensen
Introduction by Fred Adams
Hear ye, hear ye, William Shakespeare wrote for you! (or at least your sixteenth century counterpart.) The playwright so reveared for his literary talent was also a businessman with an eye toward earning his fortune. He wanted the audience to laugh, cry, gasp... and buy seats at the next performance. His plays are filled with sword fights, fisti-cuffs, lowbrow hijinks, lewd references, faeries, ghosts, lunatics, monsters, murderers and mistaken identity.
All of Shakespeare's stage has provided perfect fodder for the imagination of artist James C. Christensen whose wise and whimsical paintings and sketches will inspire you to go sit in a darkened theatre where Shakespeare's lovely language may steal up quietly and seduce you.
The Bard and more than sixty-five of his dramatis personae all take bows in this unique visual tribute to Shakespeare. Filled with fun and countless discoveries for both the novice and the lifelong Shakespearean, the accompanying text has a performance of its own including the notes on the language, the myths, the murders and the eternal universality of the stories.

"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
