Well, now he is.

I'm not sure how it started, but Neil has been calling me 'RatBag' for about ten years now. It might have been because I told him I collect rubber rats, or because I sent him a Christmas card with a photo of my favorite rubber rat in a Santa suit. I liked that one so much that I made a small sculpture of it for myself. I liked that one so much I made more.

Anyway, after many more rats I've decided to name them all RatBag and in honor of that, have added a Neil Gaiman Rat to the collection. He said that would be okay, as long as I gave him one of the sculptures and that this Neil-Rat be 'devastatingly cute'.

I'm fairly certain this Neil-Rat would be devastatingly cute to other rats. Please let Neil know what you un-rats think.

I also asked Neil if he were a sculpture of a little rat sitting on a sculpture of a book, what the book would be. He told me it would be One Thousand and One Arabian Nights.

So, the Neil-Rat is 3 inches tall, sitting on a copy of Arabian Nights and thinking thoughts the Neil-Rat might be thinking. They come each in little black velvet bags with ratty cards inside that make them very nice gifts.

This sculpture is a hand-cast, numbered, limited edition of 500.

They are $50.00 each, plus $6.00 shipping
