This bust is part of a slow growing poster for the upcoming Odin Punked web comic. Taken from Norse Mythology, Fárbauti – the Father of Loki the god of Mischief and a very mean s.o.b.
The Old Norse name Fárbauti has been translated as ‘dangerous striker’, ‘anger striker’, or ‘sudden-striker’.
The first part of his name is a compound formed with the noun fár which means ‘hostility, danger, unfortunateness, falseness’ attached to the verb bauta (‘to strike’).
