"Draco Rudeboy" Size: 1.56" Price: SOLD


John made a small batch of special UV heads for me, and this gem is one of them. This one was created with the bright Illuminati UV glass, and then John added a veil of white glass over top to give it the ghostly color. This guy doesn't care what you think about him and he's letting you know, tongue out and all. Those eyes are flat out creepy, ha ha, and that grey and white hair or his is so awesome, ha ha. I keep thinking John can't get any better....and then he creates this sort of awesomeness in glass!!

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 top of the cage and it comes with a UV LED light that fits perfectly into that hole as it sits on top. Turn it on and the head is lit up from above and seriously comes to life with UV brilliance!! I took several shots of it inside the cage with the light on, but it looks waaaaay better in person compared to what you see there. This guy is held in his cage by the bar that goes down the front viewing window. There is a skull on the top of that bar, and it is held in place by magnets on the end of the bar and in the wood. There are also two footed skulls at the front of the cage. Such a cool and well thought out piece, amazing work of art in hand! Signed with John's Japanese kanji signature.
