Wanted to show this again (here you go Chris). Created for a Halloween Party for a friend.
This was my Halloween mask in 2010 and continues to be on display on my living room wall to this day!
I’m amazed at how sturdy and secure it is, while being totally lightweight— all while being made solely of paper, glue and paint!

He did three blog posts about the construction of this bad boy, here, here and here.

I commissioned him to make me a mask based off this illustration I drew for Halloween. It came out pretty fucking cool, if I do say so myself u_u
More photos of it over here, plus links to his blog posts showing it in various stages of completion.
I created this as a project for Adobe Systems at the request of Russell Preston Brown for a photoshoping seminar. The idea was to show an old photoshop box with eyes cut out and then use my mask to demonstrate the evolution of the new photoshop masking functions.
