WHAT'S NEW

Otto Bjornik's "Artemis" the Custom Nesting Munny!

Theoretically named after the Greek goddess, whom Homer referred to as "Artemis of the wildland, Mistress of Animals", this set of two hand-painted Munny figures by artist Otto Björnik was created at the behest of a "very supportive" collector. Challenging himself in this work's creation, Bjornik describes the idea as "turning the painted objects that can be seen in most of my customs' tummies into 3D [form]". To accomplish this, a 20-inch Munny was used for the main figure, its ponytail encircling an excised hole in its belly that a specially crafted, sitting 5-inch Munny can fit into. Working like a matryoshka (or nesting) doll, I especially love how it appears like a woven nest is housed inside the larger figure, used as a resting spot for the smaller one when lodged in the belly. Embellished with Bjornik's typical flowing hair, vibrant eyes, and flower decorations, this magnificent one-of-a-kind set was commissioned by a collector and thus is not available for sale, but those interested in owning a Bjornik work for themselves can acquire one of his previously announced Teddy Troop pieces from HERE and/or you can contact him about a commission of your own HERE.
