Says Ryden: "I love toys. I have collected toys for a long time and they are a major inspiration in my work. There are so many obvious toy possibilities within my paintings, that many people have tried to persuade (begged) me to make toys. I have resisted up until now because I didn't want "toy production" to take over my life, which I fear it could. I was finally talked into doing a toy by my son, Jasper. I couldn't say no to him! I also let him choose which image in my art to make a toy of. He choose YHWH. I put an homage to Jasper on the box. Of course this all came about 3 years ago when Jasper was seriously into the "Urban Vinyl" craze. I hadn't planned on the LONG process of making this toy. Now Jasper has moved onto to other interests (punk rock)."

Absolutely - to see what has always been a such a powerful image for me "come to life", is amazing! It will be cherished in our home if we are so lucky... jIm |

Please do not quote me but I think the prices will be $200 pink and the black & white editions of 80 for $500 each? Shhhh..... Wonder if the little girl sculpture will be a vinyl as well. Also wonder if the maquette will be for sale. (doubt it) Dave Presser will be posting step by step production pictures soon. davepresslersculpting.blogspot.com/ |

I've never bought any Vinyl - is 2000 a typical edition? It seems very large.
I love the concept and the box looks incredible. I'm sure there will be no less than 200 of these on Ebay next week.

it is a large edition, but im glad. there are 2 other editions, black and a white that will be signed and very hard to get. the toy is matte, so its easily marred, so be careful when handling it. the box is gorgeous. and i love that jasper has a website!

It is up, and with such a small edition really tempting, but I will pass on this. After 15 minutes it is still available, so not too many are after this.
