Mortiby morti6

I created Morti as inspired by "Memento Mori"--the ancient idea/tradition of being mindful of death so you don't find yourself resting on your laurels or not appreciating that (http://for now) you are still alive--and can still set out to do what is important to you. I hope Morti will sit on your desk as a daily reminder to keep on working hard on the important things. These days, it is so easy to be distracted, that we forget that we don't have forever on this Earth. And if there's someone you care about that also has dragons to slay, then perhaps Morti can be his or her cheerleader as well.

For a less succinct, and more dramatic explanation of the concept, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjsymnzB3yI

Product notes: I've tried several prints so far, and the the metal binder jetting process in Steel / Bronze 420SS/BR is the best quality and price combo that I've found. The higher resolution and semi precious metal prints are obviously VERY nice, but also expensive. I also created a sandstone print that turned out surprisingly well, and is available on shapeways (https://www.shapeways.com/shops/memento-mori-by-morti). That version looks great, and it has a good weight and has the texture of bone almost. It's a nice cheaper alternative to a metal prints.

I plan on eventually making an independent store for metal casted versions of Morti. If you would like to stay posted on that, you can email me at morti@motley.works or follow Morti on Instagram (www.instagram.com/mortimoments) and Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/morti0401). In the meantime, memento morTi!
