A Little Mischief

When was the last time you got up to a little mischief? Longer than you can remember, eh? Us, too. But this piece by sculptor Tim Bruckner, "A Little Mischief," sure makes us want to get up to something. Limited to an edition of one (!), this hand-sculpted, hand-cast and hand-painted bust of a faun who is CLEARLY up to no good is the quintessential Tim Bruckner collectible -- mysterious, playful, and 100% yours.

Asking $850, 11.25" tall, one-of-a-kind, signed by artist. Contact us at timbrucknershop@gmail.com

The Joker's On You!

The Joker is a force of nature, pure chaos in vaguely humanoid form. So it makes sense that he was the first villain in the DC Dynamics line. Inspired by the artwork of J.C. Leyendecker, the Dynamics line of sculptures portrayed heroes in motion, as near-mythological figures. The Joker may not be heroic, but mythology has plenty of demons as well...

Released in February 2017 by DC Collectibles, this DC Dynamics sculpture of the Joker is an unnumbered artist's proof. It is very hard-to-find nowadays.

Asking price is $400, signed by the artist. Send inquiries to timbrucknershop@gmail.com

Bizarro Am Not For Sale!

What he means is, Bizarro IS for sale. Writing in Bizarro-speak is hard. Should we say this bust "no am beautiful" or "am ugly"? Should we say it "no am rare" or "am generally easy to find"? Should we say "no buy it" or "sell it"? That last one seems super-confusing. 

This Silver Age-style bust was produced in 2002 by DC Direct. He is #0047/1300. There were six characters in the series, five of which were sculpted by Tim Bruckner. It is out of print and generally unavailable.

Asking $200, signed. E-mail timbrucknershop@gmail.com with inquiries. 

Two Humans Walk into a Bar...

Stop me if you've heard this one....

Two humans walk into a bar. But they are not there to drink, they are there to sculpt. The first man sculpts an alien: frightening, bizarre, inscrutable. The second man is Tim Bruckner. His alien is laughing, joyous, and surprisingly familiar. The joke the alien laughs at could be the joke you told your co-workers that day, or it could be a joke appreciated only by the Gas-Geyser Lords of Alazar. Their understanding of humans is tenuous, at best, born of sketchily interpreted signals picked out across uncounted nebulae. So while you may not know why it is funny that one human would order a sin'taaar and the other would choose a dro-fuu, to an Alazaran that shit is hilarious.

Two Humans Walk into a Bar is a one-of-a-kind sculpt, standing 13.75" tall atop a gas-geyser base

An Elf for Your Shelf!

Have you been good this year? No? Excellent. Good is boring. Even Santa's elves get on the Naughty list every once in a while. We're not sure if this fellow is one of Santa's lot, or some sort of cookie-making elf, or just a freelance cobbler, but he clearly knows what you've been up to, although it's not clear if he entirely disapproves. Measuring 13.5 inches tall, "Something to Consider" is Tim Bruckner's latest one-of-a-kind creation, a detailed facial study of an impish elf, set atop a colorful plume of smoke. Is it pixie dust? Sleeping powder? Pipeweed? We have no idea. But it's certainly something to consider.

Something to Consider, 13.5", one-of-a-kind

Make a Joyful Noise!

Most portraits of Ludwig Van Beethoven show the composer with his trademark furrowed brow and scowl. But what must he have looked like when he completed a symphony? Or watched a child play with a puppy? Sculptor Tim Bruckner has rendered the composer in a moment of light-hearted whimsy, and painted up a one-of-a-kind bust in terra-cotta tones. Bust measures 11" atop a black pedestal.

Ode to Joy Bust, 11"

Portrait of a Vampire!

Nosferatu may not be the prettiest of vampires, but there is a sort of beauty in Tim Bruckner's portrait of him. His upturned chin, his inquisitive sidelong glare, his lip curled back in a sneer... or is that a smile? Or does his mouth simply not close all the way anymore? Okay, so we don't know what he is thinking, but do we want to, really? The intricate detail work in the wrinkled flesh, as well as in the elegant base, with its incisor legs and translucent block of blood-red resin, makes this one of our favorite pieces, and now Tim is offering a one-of-a-kind painted edition of the 11.25" bust.
