"Drunk Tank Dragon" Size: 1.65" Price: SOLD


According to John, Big Red has been thrown in the drunk tank here, and while I'm sad for this fiery dragon, on the other hand I'm not sure it's a good thing for an inebriated dragon to be taking to the skies when he's in such a state. Thankfully John has built a hearty cage to keep this beast contained, but you'll still want to be careful! This marble is ASTOUNDING, with such an amazingly detailed and perfect dragon's head inside of it, incredible UV eyes and horns, and I could go on and on. It is breathtaking in hand. That would be enough, but to have John complete the artistry with such a cool hand-made cage is just magnificent! It has a skull foot on each bottom corner of the cage, and then a skull latch as well. John's various designs are then stamped into the wood. Let's hope the glass encasement keeps that dragon fire from burning this cage up!!

If you're a Kobuki collector, then these caged pieces are the ones you want - they are the ultimate collectibles from this legendary artist, as they bring all of John's unique creativity and Japanese influence together into one amazing cohesive piece of art. This one also has a hole in the bottom of the cage and it comes with an LED light that fits perfectly into that hole. Turn it on and the dragon head is lit up from below and looks truly incredible!! This one is a VERY special piece from John, crazy hard to let go of! Signed with John's Japanese kanji signature.
