Past Art - Makemake

I found this piece of art work the other day. It had fallen down behind the back of a chest of drawers in my bedroom.
It's a mixed media illustration of the Easter Island god, Makemake - well it's my interpretation at least. He was the chief god of the Easter Island "Bird Man" cult. They believed that the world was a giant egg laid by Makemake and that he created all mankind, the sea, the sky, the earth and the stars.
I believe I drew this some 15 years ago when I was at university. In another life time. By a different me. A me that would probably be a little disappointed if she looked forward and saw how I am living my life; far too mundane for her tastes I suspect.
