Pulled from Luke’s own blog

Created for “FACES OF INDONESIA” AN OMI DIY CUSTOM CONTEST”, I’ve titled the piece HANUMANOMI (DOCILE) / HANUMANOMI (ENRAGED). Like a coin, the two Omi’s are presented back to back. The design is inspired by images of HANUMAN, the Hindu Monkey God. Though I have no idea what Hanuman’s roll is as a deity, I love rich visual language of the Hindu religion. It’s very inspiring.
The name itself is simply the mash up of the names, “Hanuman” and “Omi”.
