Description
The dragon is a mythical creature of which some interpretation or depiction appears in almost every culture worldwide. The physical description and supposed abilities of the creature vary immensely according to the different cultures in which it appears. However, the unifying feature of almost all interpretations is it being a serpentine or otherwise reptilian monster (or at least possessing a serpentine/reptilian part or trait), and often possessing magical or spiritual qualities and most likely bringing doom in apocalyptic movies.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What can I say that's already been said. This is pretty cool. New York City has to be one of the most popular cities to be destroyed in films, second only to Tokyo.

And just how long do you think it'll be before this artwork gets stolen by some company?

I doubt as many New Yorkers think they'll go out by way of dragon as L.A. folks do. But wouldn't that be a rather interesting way to finish the job?
