Regina snow sculpture creator just hopes it makes people smile

A Regina man has combined his love of fishing and his skill as a sculpture artist into one project.

Bron Nurkowski has been creating giant artwork from sand for many years. This is his third year creating a snow sculpture in his front yard.

He used the optical illusion of placing the fish far out in front of the human head, which makes the fish appear much larger than it actually is.

The fish is a walleye, and the human head is a likeness of Nurkowski himself.

Winnipeg man creates giant wintery dragon in his front yard

One Winnipeg resident hopes a wintery beast in his front yard might just bring him some good luck.

Tom Tran has sculpted a giant two-headed dragon out of snow in the front yard of his Kylemore Avenue home in Winnipeg.

“I just wanted to make something more difficult, more impressive, and I decided to make a two-headed dragon,” he told CTV News.

“Last year, I made a small one and my wife loved it, so this year I just wanted to make something more bigger.”

Tran, who is a 3D artist, said he sketched the dragon on the computer before he got bundled up and hit the snow outside. He said he would spend around 5 hours a day working on it. The whole sculpture, complete with eyes made out of Christmas decorations, took 10 days to complete.
