Why It Matters

Bunny Boy is one of Faile's most recognizable recurring characters, and this large hand-painted multiple treats each of the 15 impressions as a substantially unique work. At over four feet tall with individual hand-painting, it sits at the ambitious end of Faile's editioned output, closer to a series of unique paintings than a standard print run.

Collector Perspective

Note the source material references both the title "Bunny Boy Mix Up" and "Bunny Boy Mpls. I" with a 2003 date, so confirm exact title, date, and edition details with the seller before purchase. As a hand-painted multiple of 15 at 38 x 50 inches, each impression varies significantly — request specific images and verify the signature and stamp.

Historical Context

The Bunny Boy motif recurs throughout Faile's work as part of their cast of collaged characters. Hand-painted multiples like this blur the boundary between print and painting, a format the studio used for its most ambitious editioned pieces. The "Mpls." reference suggests ties to a Minneapolis showing or series within the character's broader run.
