Earlier this week<\/a> the United States Copy Right regulators ruled that the infamous Monkey Selfie photo that went viral cannot be copyrighted. This quickly prompted Dutch designer Peter Rossdale to 3D model the monkey selfie<\/a> and bring it to the life for everyone to own as a 3D print in full color sandstone. You can order one of these Monkey Selfie 3D prints here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“As an Amsterdam based graphic designer I\u2019ve got 14 years of experience in designing websites, magazines. As my career evolved, I got more and more involved with photo\/videography, 3d modeling and animation. All this experience comes in handy in designing 3d printed products.
