That is our turd of San Jose, CA? How dare you insult our POS!
It’s suppose to represent “Quetzacoatl” the Aztec& Mayan Deity.

Chuck Norris showed him how to do that and now God calls on him for any new thoughts on excercising being all powerful....and that...
I’m sorry. I had no idea what a speshul turd it is.
those drawings appear to be ACTUAL SIZE!
it does require a degree to sense that this poor schlub got his start...in art therapy...
If a piece of “art” looks like it was thrown together by a 12 year old then its not art.
It’s KuhRRRRap!!!!
