Where can I find this gnome?

Have you seen this gnome?
This gnome has become the object of several pranks that have been played on a good friend of mine--including a large rasterization of his picture taped to wall of bedrooms and showers, twittering of his portrait, and a general increase of the word 'gnome' into our vocabulary.
Unfortunately, we are only in possession of this one image of it. We contacted the art director of the magazine in which the picture was found, and alas, it was culled from a stock photo site.
Antics would be greatly increased if we were to get our hands on the actual statue, or any resembling it. Online is likely best, but we're located in Austin if you know of anything locally. So, hive mind, have you seen this gnome?
Suggestions for more pranks always welcome.

Have you thought about contacting the photographer (Franz Pfluegl of Vienna, Austria) and ask him for details about this particular gnome? His website is http://www.pfluegl.at/.
