Gnomes designed to look like Oasis and The Ramones have surfaced online, made by the same people who designed 'The Gnome Roses'.
Taking the internet by storm last year with their britpop-influenced garden ornamentals, Andrew McDermid and Charlie Boyle have returned with a new range of products featuring gnome-versions of Oasis and The Ramones, respectively named 'Ranomes' and 'Definitely Gnomey'.
The idea reportedly came from Oasis' love of the original Stone Roses models, with McDermid explaining: "Definitely Gnomey were born to allow the feisty Manchester rockers to share the same kudos as their legendary counterparts.
"Bonehead was even offering us tips on how to use social media to best effect, advising that the Gnome Roses should have their own Twitter account."
In a press release about the product, the pair also revealed that even more artist ranges could surface in the future (pun-permitting obviously), stating: "We spent all of last year turning band names into their equivalent gnome versions. But we didn’t want to take it too far, make ‘gnome’ mistake! 'Ranomes' were the natural choice for us, because they were distinctive enough, and have that unmistakable iconic look."
Oasis themselves are yet to comment on their gnome counterparts, however the full range is available online from here.
