Mark Ryden × Porterhouse Fine Art's "Snow Yak Ornament"!

Inspired by the appearance of the beast on an oil painting in Mark Ryden's The Snow Yak Show (Japan, 2008), Porterhouse Fine Art Editions is producing the "Snow Yak Ornament", a roughly 4 × 3½ × 3⅛ inch Christmas tree decoration. What makes this really exciting to me, though, is that each "ornament was individually created using three-dimensional color jet printing technology (CJP). This printing technology uses a gypsum-based powder that is spread in thin layers. Print heads bind the layers together using a liquid binder, and the colors are added at the same time. This process creates full-color, porcelain-like pieces." And while careful inspection of the photos does reveal those typical 3D printing striations, it overall looks like a wonderful piece. With each piece numbered on its underside as well as numbered on a matching certificate of authenticity, these are limited to 250 copies that will be available today (Monday, November 20th, 2017) from HERE for $175 apiece.
