Mayan Glyphs

I love Mayan art, and would like to screen print in Mayan fonts:

"SRC"

translated into Mayan glyphs

(with online translator below),

and screen printed on a yellow flag,

to announce the beginning of the  "Sculpture Resource Center" float

at the 2012 All Souls Procession in Tucson --

-- note, Josh made up his own "R" glyph,

since the Mayans did not have an "R"
