Aaron did one with Blue Tile eyes and high-lites that was the Mutts-Nuts.

When he was describing it, I didn't envision it as being the spectacular piece that it is.

Clearly his constant ingestion of Marmalade (Robertsons Goldshred is his brand) has catapulted his work to the height it is. The argument could be made that deviating from a single piece of carved wood is not pure as an artform. (just as some people frown on painted pieces and so on)

It is my opining that this piece, which he chronicled from it's idea stage and graciously "step-by-stepped" for us, embodies high levels both artistic design and craftsmen skills
