Artist Proof will be releasing a new version of the Joseph Merrick bust featured in my gallery as well as a large scale full figure version of him in the near future.This will be an entirely new sculpt, possibly 18 inches or larger, and basically be a nude study.
This is going a little while back, but Nadya Lev wrote a wonderful post about the original sculpture was on the COILHOUSE blog
