Ancient of Mumu

Decided to go even more gonzo in the current visit to the Maze of the Blue Medusa and added this to the art installations set throughout the maze. There are three statues here with a backdrop: The first is a tall creature with a great horn but otherwise shrouded in a robe, it’s humanoid but […]
