Supernatural Halibut (2002)

"This design illustrates the legend of the halibut and the drowned fisherman. The fisherman can be seen in the tail of the halibut. This was a supernatural halibut with a canoe in its centre. The canoe was used to help the spirit of the fisherman make the transition between the physical world and the spiritual world. This ensured that the spirit of the fisherman would end up in the proper place." -- Terry Starr
