Dark Horse Deluxe Debuts Camilla D'Errico Statue At Toy Fair 2012!
NO ORDINARY SCULPTURE—DARK HORSE DELUXE DEBUTS THE FIRST
STATUETTE FROM ARTIST CAMILLA D’ERRICO AT TOY FAIR 2012
MILWAUKIE, OR, February 10—Artist and designer
Camilla d’Errico is exploding across the pop-culture landscape. Her paintings,
comics, apparel, toys, and licensed merchandise items are found in trendsetting
venues worldwide, and her unique art style sets these items apart from the
crowd. Dark Horse Deluxe, a division of Dark Horse Comics, announces the latest
step forward for d’Errico, a limited-edition sculptural bust inspired by her
painting No Ordinary Love.
Slated for a late June release, the meticulously
painted sculpture measures approximately 8 inches tall and 5 inches in width,
making it a diminutive but exquisite jewel of a statuette. It is strictly
limited to only 950 hand-numbered copies for worldwide distribution. It is
packaged in a full-color collector box, with a certificate of authenticity
inserted to certify it for collectors.
“Translating Camilla’s work into three dimensions was a
challenge,” Dark Horse’s David Scroggy observed, “but with a lot of help from
Camilla and the skilled artisans at Gentle Giant Studios, we were able to
arrive at a piece that is unmistakably d’Errico, with all the subtle nuance and
details of sculpture and paint application that her audience would expect.”
Camilla d’Errico supervised every aspect of the sculpting
and paint application as the piece took shape, providing additional reference,
commentary, and color notes throughout the prototyping process.
“No Ordinary Love is a piece that is very dear to me,”
Camilla d’Errico reflected. “It’s the visual interpretation and expression of
my feelings for my ‘one and only,’ so you can imagine how exciting it is, that
this particular piece was chosen!”
The painting No Ordinary Love was included in the
Dark Horse art book of d’Errico’s work, Femina and Fauna, which has gone
into multiple printings and can be found in a diverse array of retail venues,
such as bookstores, art galleries, pop-culture and designer-toy emporiums, and
comic shops. A second hardcover collection of Camilla d’Errico’s paintings,
Helmetgirls, is scheduled for publication by Dark Horse in July.
Dark Horse will display No Ordinary Love to the
trade for the first time at its booth at International Toy Fair, held at Jacob
Javits Center in New York, February 12–15, 2012.
