Detective Sam Spade by Kevin Gosselin


Ok,  I'm floored by this guys talent, Kevin Gosselin has completely transformed this mini munny, I almost thought it was a from scratch figurine BUUUT the ears gave it away.  What really does it for me is that tiny hand sculpted revolver (I love revolvers!) check out how the pistol grip has been beautifully etched. And don't forget the tiny police badge.  Everything about this custom is top of the line, great job Kevin, looking forward to seeing more work from you.

He says, "Following my two recent commissions, the vampire and the artist series suffocating piece, I was asked by the same private collector to create a custom munny with the police officer theme. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of police officers especially after my recent experience with jury duty. But after mulling this concept over I did remember one detective that has always arrested my attention. That would be one Sam Spade. Sam Spade is the legendary character from the 1941 film classic, The Maltese Falcon, portraited by one of Hollywood's best, Humphrey Bogart. Now in the film, Bogie plays a private detective and not a police officer, but I took some liberty with the character and suggested a Sam Spade from his years prior to his private practice.

The custom was created using a 4" Mini Munny, wire, polymer clay and acrylic paint."
