You can call me a "Perv"

This one is rather special.... 😍

So, some might recall my CJP-update back in October 2018 regarding a rare find. Back in August 2018 a good collector-friend of mine, Threadbare, sent me a link cause he had found an old Pickford-piece, but unknown to most.

After a bit of a search and few email I'd located the guy (George) behind the miniature, and rather that run away, George actually offered me a chance getting hold of a copy of : "Perv" - the Dwarf Slayer Beast Handler

You can read all about that story here and you'll find him on the Wikia-page here.

And it special today, because he's now painted 😊

Collecting John Pickford: Perv, the dwarf beast handler

Yes, it's been to waaay to quite in here, I know and I do apologise :(
- but I shall spare you all the poor little excuses for not painting or bringing you news.

However, I shall try make up for it over the coming weeks, as I've got quite a few Pickford gems and news to show and share.

This one, today, is a special one - and probably the most exciting one of them, cause I guess most of you (just like me) probably didn't even know of it's existence.

But back in 2010, around the time where John did til Artisan Dwarf for the CCM-Yahoo-Community, one of the members commissioned John doing him a dwarf beast handler with two beasts.

I haven't noticed this being made nor has John told me about it. He do enlighten me about his earlier works, but its all based on "memory" and an old online email inbox - both are close to be put out of service, hi hi :)

But back in August, a good collector-friend of mine, Threadbare, sent me a link:

I was all over the moon, because at the very end of this link a little gem is hidden - a "Perv" Miniature, sculpted by John "PoshGoblin" Pickford and painted by "Atacam".

Sculpted by John "PoshGoblin" Pickford ?? Those 5 words are sweet music in my ear :)
