About Bustards
Welcome to Bustards - where we bring history's most controversial and influential figures to life, one bust at a time.
In a world of ever increasing control being handed to a small group of the elite, we recognize those individuals whose convictions have shaped the world, for better or worse, whether they are past figures or present-day influencers with their own cult following. Our collection captures the essence of these characters, while embracing their complexities and flaws with a touch of humour. This isn't to diminish their impact, but instead adds a human layer to those who often seem larger than life.
History is not black and white; it’s made up of people whose beliefs changed the course of nations, ignited movements, and sparked controversy.
In a world where society tries to rewrite or erase parts of our collective memory, we aim to preserve these stories in all their shades of grey. Our collection of limited edition metal busts reflects these complexities, ensuring that future generations understand the nuances of our past.
In an era marked by censorship, cancellation, and the rewriting of history, Bustards remains steadfast in honoring the true essence of the characters that shaped our world, regardless of their deeds or motivations. We believe that acknowledging the full spectrum of history, with all its triumphs and atrocities, is essential to understanding our present and guiding our future. Our commitment is to present these figures authentically, without succumbing to the pressures to sanitize or distort their legacies.
Even in the creation of this project, we found ourselves sidelined and suppressed on social media channels. Facebook immediately banned our account, Instagram refused to allow our posts to be used as adverts, and TikTok suppressed our views. Despite these obstacles, we continue to stand by our mission to celebrate and scrutinize the complexities of history.
Bustards is not affiliated with any individual or organisation. All characters produced by Bustards — even those based on real people — are entirely fictional. All celebrity personalities are impersonated… poorly.
All products contain terrible humour and due to its content, should not be bought by anyone.
