Short film: Basilisk

June 17, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dragon beats garden gnome

June 17, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What do you do if you’ve a dead tree trunk messing up your garden and it’s too big to move? You could try and hide it with garden gnomes. Sure. That would be silly, though. Very silly. A better idea is to copy /u/Aboiement‘s neighbour and hire and artist to sculpt you a garden dragon […]
