Currently season two of The Masked Singer is running on Swedish TV channel TV4.
And there is a Mechtorian in the show!
The character and costume designer for the series Pelle Magnestam decided he wanted to use one of the heads from a Mechtorian character of mine. So Fremantle Sweden who produce the show worked out a licensing deal with me for this to be possible.
The costume itself was expertly created by the Artisariumworkshop based in Sweden.
It is really interesting and refreshing to see a Mechtorian in a different medium.
The show airs on Friday nights so if you are in the region and able to tune in do check out The Spelmannen.

Today the APs of my Anesthesia Bust (White and Bronze editions) go on sale in my online store.
What is an AP?
AP originally stood for Artist’s Proof. It is a term from the printing industry. It referred to the sample prints sent to an Artist so they could confirm they were happy with the quality before the full run could go ahead. These APs were often kept by the artist and sold later as a little bonus income. Sometimes people collect AP prints rather than prints from the main body of the run. So sometimes the APs are more valuable as there are far less of them (traditionally not more than 5% of the edition size).
In the Art Toy world the term AP has been adopted to mean the percentage of product that the company making the toy gives to the artist who designed the toy. This amount can vary depending on company and contract from a couple of toys to half the run. Though in my experience it’s not more than 10% of the run.
