"Draco Lucy" Size: 1.53" 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 beautiful UV glass called Lucy, and then John added a veil of white glass over top to give it the ghostly color. Lucy has this gorgeous pink glow when under the UV light, and John accented the piece with green Illuminati highlights, in the eyes and in the headdress behind the head. It's an amazing combination all around and another amazing achievement from John!! The whole head from its eyes to teeth to horns and everything in between is just magnificent, I love this one so much!

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 a UV LED light that fits perfectly into that hole as it sits underneath. Turn it on and the head is lit up from below and seriously comes to life with UV brilliance!! I took a couple shots of it inside the cage with the light on, but it looks waaaaay better in person compared to what you see there, clear and brightly lit up in its wonderful pink and greenish glow. This gal is kept locked in her cage by the bar that runs across the top. It locks into place after you insert it via little magnets on the end of the stick and in the wood. There is a sweet metal skull to watch over the whole mechanism. Signed with John's Japanese kanji signature.
