What is an Artist's Proof?

The very first two or three (up to 8 maximum) taken from the mold are set aside. I paint each one slowly, taking my time to develop the design and experimenting with color schemes. It may take me days just to paint one of them, and so the level of detail and care is a little more than the Limited Edition run pieces which follow. The other numbered pieces are made with extraordinary attention to detail, but they are painted using different techniques and are made slightly faster because I am no longer experimenting with the color scheme paint job, but rather using one of the APs as a prototype and copying from it.
As such, the APs may have different and rare color schemes. This makes them unique and its why they sell out within minutes. All APs are guaranteed to have been painted by me personally, and signed underneath by me. An AP is never painted by a member of my staff or any other artist.
