    It's crude & homemade, but was the 'artisan' copying any mythology or ancient imagery ? Maybe I'm just having some sort of flashback to an album cover of my youth, but I've seen this somewhere before. Wood, 8x6x3 inches. upload_2026-5-20_14-47-58.jpeg

    It reminds me of a shadow puppet, I can almost hear the gamelan orchestra.

    Got it - Matt Groening. Life in Hell was a pre-Simpsons comic.

    I see that - A anthropomorphic vibe, be it a bit more post living. I have a soft spot for odd art, so had to add it to my hoard.
