Description
This is the first result of a series of miniatures I am designing, inspired by socalled ‘Hummels’ (kitsch little porcelain figures that are widely collected). At this moment there are two Humbelles available: ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘Little Princess’ which are now at the regular gallery prices. Every two months I will release a new one. On my site you can order them directly: http://ericvanstraaten.com/humbelles/
The idea is that people who love my work, but for instance can’t afford a bigger piece, will be inspired to collect the miniatures. That’s why I will be offering the Humbelle pieces online for a consumer friendly price of 100 USD the first month after each respective release. After that the price will be the regular gallery price of 250 USD.

After working for years in wax and resin, for the last year I've been working extensively on digital sculptures which are then 'materialized' with the technique called 'rapid manufacturing'. For me, the 3D-printing technique gives me a limitless freedom in almost instantly composing the images I have in my mind. After six years of learning how to prepare 3D-models for additive manufacturing, I think it is a good idea to offer my extensive knowledge in this field of especially colored (textured) 3D-models to the online community. If you want to get your model 3D-printed and don’t know how to do that, or you know how to do that, but still can’t get it to work, mail me at stlfix@ericvanstraaten.com and I’ll see what I can do for you. I offer a basic fixing service starting at 75 US Dollar for relative simple models, which I believe will solve most problems after which you can get your own 3D-print through a service like i.materialise or Shapeways . If you want, I can do this for you also.
