Drizzle on my stick

Posted on February 10, 2012 by AHC McDonald

By the Great Satan’s pizzle!

Posted on June 8, 2011 by AHC McDonald

I had trouble typing after seeing this from Pete F. Tears of laughter flowed. It’s like a piece of Wintoning rendered in 3D. Or 2.5D. You must click to view every detail, particularly the skeletal foot functioning as a bull’s … Continue reading →

Posted on May 18, 2011 by AHC McDonald
