Hi Amy,
Maybe I can answer this one since I painted that fellow! All of the pieces that I paint are done by hand, with paintbrushes, and take a long time to paint (sometimes more than a week each!). Because of the time intensive nature of hand painted pieces, we call them “Artist’s Editions” and they are very limited (sometimes one of a kind, though we never know if we will paint another similar in the future).
Sadly, because they take so long, there is no realistic way for these paint jobs to become normal or limited production, and at least in the foreseeable future will probably only be offered on eBay auction.
