Seriously can't fucking wait. He's already looking great and I'm sure it'll only get better! Here's hoping for a clear version!


This message made my day when I read it, what a great compliment.

Here's another pic of the very rough clay mock-up...

I did some up in a style reminiscent of the Ben Cooper masks from the 1970's/80's. Florescent paints, matte finish (the matte clearcoat was just applied in the pic), overspray and crude details. These will be at the Low Life Gallery in Cleveland in about 5 days.

Oh I like these! Much more fun in a Pop-Art/cartoon sort of way than the TK2 version. The "crude" details and pink mouth are welcome additions. He will look great next to the TK2 one.

thanks! Painting these things is a blast. I still have a bunch of blanks that I want to send out to SB members to paint. I haven't been using an airbrush, just spray cans and masking stencils with a little brushwork. It would be interesting to see what you guys come up with.

Totally digging the green masks!!! I can't wait to get one of these masks (any color) on my wall!
I'm afraid I missed the ones at TK2 due to some overspending :( :( :(

Pink and green is pretty much my favorite color combination. Love 'em!

These look awesome. I'm a big fan of the old Ben Cooper masks.
