Winston Bronnum (1929-1991) was a self-taught Dano-Canadian nature artist, sculptor and entrepreneur known for his large concrete animal sculptures which adorn Canadian roadsides. He founded and operated the defunct Animaland Park which showcased a number of his works and served as his workshop.

gollark: The headquarters' walls are filled with holes for no apparent reason.
gollark: Unlike GTech™, they have no products, and are working on a drone delivery system which doesn't... do anything... and wouldn't be useful if it did.
gollark: Their headquarters is a ridiculous maze the construction of which nearly bankrupted them (because they don't do concrete in-house, like wrong people), their broken laser "defenses" try and lase me while in my office, many of the doors are mysteriously missing, and another company stuck a giant blob on top of their roof.
gollark: I suppose PixelTech™ is generally not very competent.
gollark: Yes, I am definitely harmed by people claiming that "potatOS" is present in random binary files they're editing.
