Commission: Life-Sized Moose & the Mexican Man
The artist often names his sculptures while they are in his possession. The Moose was affectionately named Humberto after Roballo's uncle, who seemed to be larger than life to the artist when he was a little boy. The Mexican man feeding the moose was named Pancho after Pancho Villa, a famous (and very serious) Mexican general.

The Moose made quite an impression at the Park Point Art Fair in 2023, along with Roballo's other large sculptures.

The taco was added to the Mexican man's hand because he seems to be feeding the moose in the logo!
Pancho's sombrero was constructed from birch bark, driftwood, and rope.
Wheels were necessary to move Humberto around.
It's a very high fiber taco!
