perfectly out of proportion.

Will, I saw a program once that theorized exaggeration is what makes art so compelling. Your comment is a huge compliment. I plan to do more little guys with fat heads and big feet. :D
And yes, I am carving the Rongo glyphs. The piece started with the Bird Man corner blocks carved in relieve and the other glyphs were incised. I got carried away and started to change the glyphs to low relief carves. I’m in too deep to go back now.
I was hoping someone recognizes that the Barfish has “tiki teeth”!
