Here is one stateside retailer offering the Stardust statue:
http://www.statuetoys.com/stardustmoonstarstatue.html
Retail price:$195.00/advance order price: $129.34. Expected July, 2007. Also, don’t neglect eBay as a possibility. Incidentally, I took classes at Mass Art. I was amazed by the ignorance of most the students when it came to comics and fantasy illustration, outside of H.R. Giger; in four years I couldn’t find anyone who had heard of Frank Frazetta or even Arthur Rackham. As for the faculty, they were still catching up with Andrew Wyeth. I found the illustration majors an open-minded and hard-working bunch, however.

Hi there,

I’m a junior illustration major at MassArt and one of our first assignments for this semester was to find artists that we admire and send them some questions, so I figured I’d take advantage of your blog.
My first question is related to your sculpture of Yvaine, which is would you ever consider doing a whole book in 3-D? Secondly, I was wondering who are some of the artists that inspire you. Some of your work, especially in Stardust, reminded me of John Bauer, who I also really love. And lastly, when you’re working on a project that’s as big as Stardust with almost 200 illustrations, what do you think is the best way to keep motivated?

Thanks,
Patrick

Hey all,

I just tried out a google search for on-line sites to order from (many with steep discounts) by typing in ‘Stardust statue Charles Vess’ and came up with more than several to choose from. The next cycle of Diamond Previews orders will start next week so get a move on!

I really had a ball producing this and can’t wait to have one sitting right beside my drawing desk.

Best,
Charles

Oh, it’s so beautiful! Stardust is my favourite ‘modern’ book (i.e. not written by someone dead) and I love Yvaine. Will we be able to order this online in the States as well?

Of course, I just remembered “old faithful”. Should have checked before posting, d’oh!

Charles, do you have any pricing estimates for these at this stage? Also, what’s the distribution going to be like? Is it likely that I would be able find them fairly easily over here in the UK?
