December 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Tardis print] This set of art is on sale at Josh Ln’s Society6 page. They show some of the most popular space ships as they might look if they were actually cretures and monsters – except only in the side and revealed by an x-ray. It reminds me a little of these monsters under the […]

Sound of Cylons

October 21, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

While Defiance is a TV show it’s […]
