I have decided to leave him as is and give him two layers of finish. The idea of a moai with eye is not as original as some of you may think. On this piece i was very much inspired by Benzard's Moai/Moko work as wel as some books i have on oceanic art. Having it on display at my shop has generated some great reactions, and people who are familiar with my 2D work immediately recognize it as my style. Time to start something new. Greetz, Pat
