Chomsky the Desk Gnome-Complete!

Magritte Chomsky!

Chomsky is finally finished, and this is the first one completed. I plan on doing some muted color versions as well, but for now-enjoy!

Chomsky loves deskscaping. He'll gladly keep your desk shrubbery nice and tidy for you.

Chomsky the Gnome

Meet Chomsky the desk gnome. His favorite thing to do is sit on desks and landscape...or deskscape as he likes to say. It's proven that having Chomsky on your desk will reduce stress and make you more popular. Final coming soon!

Philip

This little guy was a commission for a friend of mine based on his son, Philip.

Wallace

Now that I'm all caught up I can go into more detail on my newest stuff. This is Wallace, he lives in Maxeville Woods. The idea for him came about while I was sitting on a bench in a local wooded area and imagined a friendly monster coming out from around the bend of trees in front of me. That's a normal thought...right?
