Hello all,

If you happened to be at the World EXPO at Stressa this summer, I do hope your eye was caught by this beautiful little bust, as mine was. I thought it to be full of character and superbly painted. But I didn't know whose was it and if it was available commercially, until recently when another painted version appeared on putty&paint. By asking, I found that the sculptor/painter was Adrian Sanchez Valero from Spain and I contacted him via his facebook page. Later I found out that he also had posted this on putty&paint too. He replied in no time and after I ordered a copy I received this little gem in my mailbox. No mold lines (except a tiny one in his back) and a great sculpt/casting. So, if you really like it I would definitely recommend contacting Adrian to get one. Happy painting!

The first photo is from Adrian's facebook/putty&paint page. The rest are the resin copy and my own photo from Stressa.

That is a very expressive face.

Excellent sculpting! For some reason, he looks Irish to me.
