The Crimson “Allerdale” Edition version of my Anesthesia Bust has launched.
I sculpted the original piece in 2014 as a high end art sculpture. Now 3D Retro have transformed her into a stylish and affordable addition to your home decor. The classically styled bust of Anesthesia was inspired by the incredible marble work of Raffaele Monti (1818–1881).
The regular unsigned version is available now at 3D Retro.
The signed AP version is available now from The Mechtorian Emporium (with FREE International shipping).
Each of the 12″ tall busts comes in a window box and has an edition run of only 50 pieces.
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.
I am very pleased to announce the launch of my latest vinyl Art Collectible.
The classically styled bust of Anesthesia was inspired by the incredible marble work of Raffaele Monti (1818–1881).
I sculpted the original piece in 2014 as a high end art sculpture. Now 3D Retro have transformed her into a stylish and affordable addition to your home decor.
I am very proud of Anesthesia as she is the first vinyl production piece of mine that I have sculpted myself. 3D Retro have done an amazing job in retaining all the tiny details of the original. The precision of the mechanical garland around her head is reproduced spectacularly. And the gossamer nature of her veil is just as effective in vinyl as in the original.
