Big Bobby is where it began — the first piece in the series, and the one built together with my mother. The flowing mane is the most technically complex element in the collection: dozens of individual CNC-cut layers, each hand-painted before assembly. The shadow cast by the mane at the right light angle is unlike anything else in the series.

Specs: 10-5/8" H x 7-1/8" W. Artist watercolour paper. Behr Dynasty Marquee paint, 3 coats per layer. CNC precision cut. Wood panel backer, French cleat installation included. Signed & numbered certificate of authenticity. Limited to 50. Palette: warm cream, charcoal, deep brown.

This design is also available as a hand-finished aluminum sculpture, cut from solid aluminum and painted to match this study. See the Aluminum Edition
