The first 4 images are of the actual, physical item you will receive.

The rest of the images show various ways this can be utilized, using different pieces.


INCLUDED with this item will be TWO different PKD buttons (see MAIN image).

I have a very large collection of books spanning many topics.  A massive gathering of Philip K Dick titles and editions, as well as fine press, signed limited editions, modern firsts, radical movement and conceptual art items.  I encourage you to browse my store and categories for a wide range of unique, quality offerings.


Condition: This item is handmade, new and unused.  There is no branding or packaging.  Although each one is handmade and will see some LIGHT variation in color depth, what is shown in the FIRST 4 PHOTOS is the exact one SET ASIDE for this listing.  The glitter within the resin as it sparkles in light is quite stunning.  The remaining staged photos are just other views of and uses for this item, using a different piece.  Please be welcome to ask any questions.


About: With the kind permission of artist Kyle Romberg to use his PKD inspired art piece, I've had made an initial small run of this handmade display piece. It's made of a hard, solid epoxy with added UV resistant inhibitors to prevent yellowing or other changes over time. It weighs in at approx 4.6oz, measures JUST UNDER 4” (semi)square, and approx. ½” thick around the border, with a slight recession for placing a cup or whatever you wish.


Originally, when I first thought of having this made, it was strictly as a coaster, however, once I had it in hand other possibilities opened up.  A desk, table or bookshelf display piece is a great way to show this.  Also, it's light enough that it can be mounted and hung on a wall.  If you do hang it, hang SECURELY.  Although it's durable, falling and hard landings are not recommended.


Possible uses:

CAVEATS to use:  Hand wash with water as needed.  DO NOT put in a dishwasher or other high heat cleansing machine.  These are handmade, poured, set and cured.  There is an overall uniformity to them, but some edges may not be perfectly level and so standing up in some cases may see a lean.  IF standing is your desire, indicate so and I’ll make sure what I pack stands straight.  Most are perfect for this, although there are a handful of outliers (and that can be remedied by you as well).  ALL are suitable for coasters.  As for hanging on a wall, I’ll include a mount upon request, but these mounts work best on SMOOTH surfaces.  I have one mounted on my wall which is painted, and it fell once due to the sticky not gripping firmly.  The piece didn’t break, but these are NOT indestructible.  Make sure you hang securely.

I will happily answer any further questions.


Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases.  To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers.  Best not to waste our time.  With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer.  If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings.  I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. 


I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
