Wow that's pretty awesome, love how there are little knives and guns in the dragon. They all look so different too, sweet variations.

^^ that billy shire site says, "These items can only be purchased in person at the gallery. There will be no email, phone or online orders taken until a later date."
I assume that means the other 15 will be available online some time in the future.
(not that i could ever spend 800 on a toy  )

$800?! Now I'm glad I decided not to go, even though it's really close to my house and it's only 3:45... Hmmm...

I certainly can't afford/justify a Biskup painting.

I didn't get the Wood Bear, but would consider this piece. Okay I considered it and I wouldn't pay $800 for it even with the killer guns

I certainly can't afford/justify a Biskup painting. i would def have to say expensive toy.
though it does have more elements to it than most vinyl pieces...
and is limited to 25...and is signed...yada yada yada...
still wouldn't call it an affordable sculpture myself.
however, it is very cool and congrats to anyone who can afford to scoop it!

if the black rubs off on hands, would it come off on the vinyl as well?
