Description / Story

The first bust in a series inspired by characters from a traditional deck of playing cards - Four figures sitting on top of the King of Hearts, the Queen of Diamonds, the Jack of Clubs and the Ace of Spades. The joker, jester or fool always has the King’s ear, know he has a lot more…the Kings crown! "The King is dead", there is no doubt that the King has fallen victim to the devious Joker and his lust for power.

The second bust in a series inspired by characters from a traditional deck of playing cards - Four figures sitting on top of the King of Hearts, the Queen of Diamonds, the Jack of Clubs and the Ace of Spades. The jack, knight or warrior is governed by his principles and high ethical standards, but were the causes he fought for so vehemently always just? Haunted by his deeds this undead ghost-like crusader questions the morals and motives behind the so-called "holy" crusades.

The third bust in a series inspired by characters from a traditional deck of playing cards - Four figures sitting on top of the King of Hearts, the Queen of Diamonds, the Jack of Clubs and the Ace of Spades.  The queen, monarch or sovereign carries a heavy burden and appealing as the crown might seem it can be the tool of your demise. This once powerful oriental queen is now in shackles... Her crown, instead of being a symbol of her power, is actually an instrument of her torment.
