the maker of masks and things

So... that sabbatical is still lingering, but I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve! New piece in the works. I'm now taking part in the silicone branch of mask making! Took me a good while to make a headform, but I think I got an pretty good fit now. As far as this little guy, i'm only able to work on it here and there, but still having fun with it though. My take on the staple "frakenstein" mask. Going a little retro with some futuristic elements. . . . #burgerstrings #maskmaker #mask #scifi #sculpture #fantasy #halloween #siliconemasks #siliconemask #haunt #halloweenmask #frankenstein #chavant #monster #steampunk #retro https://www.instagram.com/p/B6yabR3DUTn/?igshid=12j9gehfss2d2

Hey guys. It's been a good while, but I'm back. It seems I took an unplanned sabbatical. Holidays are a little rough, but I have such a supportive wife that helps me get through and helps push and inspire me to be the best artist and person I can be. I don't take for granted what you guys do too. You support me through your comments and messages and that means so much to me. So, I will be spending the next couple days responding to messages, but rest assured I will get to you. In the meantime enjoy this WIP shot of my version of the Comedy mask soon to be accompanied by its counterpart, Tragedy. Pieces I'm making with the local market in mind. Keep eyes peeled for a very large announcement for an upcoming 2020 business venture too! Keep rocking amigos and thanks for always sticking with me! . . . #burgerstrings #maskmaker #mask #fantasy #theatre #scifi #sculpture #helmet #cosplay #costume #robot #prop #maskmakersofig #patreon #wip #mardigras #halloween #halloweenmask https://www.instagram.com/p/B5MjoKNDrLB/?igshid=1m9ee9ibym49b

Alright amigos! I've been listening to you guys and have been testing out this new flexible urethane to try to cut down on materials cost and the time it takes to make one out of fiberglass. Let me tell you, this stuff is AMAZING! Lightweight and extremely durable!! What this means for you guys is that starting in the next week there will be a permanent markdown on all half masks! Keep an eye out on my site and please let me know what you think of a new flexible style of mask. Keep rocking guys! . . . #burgerstrings #maskmaker #mask #scifi #sculpture #helmet #cosplay #costume #robot #prop #maskmakersofig #haunt #halloweenmask #halloween #doll https://www.instagram.com/p/B2m_ndpjpDS/?igshid=19a3luf52vow8

New stickers up! I know I've been posting a lot of stuff like this lately, but with filling halloween orders all day I dont really have much time to sculpt, so I'm stretching the old design muscles and posting a bunch of stuff at @redbubble Dont worry, there will be some pretty cool things to post once things die down a bit.

Studio shots of "Cadillac" Clark! Man, I love this piece and the Cadillac blue, in my opinion, just gives it that much more character. Definitely the show stopper this year @maskfest . . . #burgerstrings #maskmaker #mask #scifi #sculpture #helmet #cosplay #costume #robot #cyberpunk #chavant #prop #maskmakersofig #haunt #halloweenmask #halloween #smoothon #maskfest #ramaterials https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MiPhLjwDT/?igshid=v7744ji658fw

Here are studio shots of the "Burnout" version of my Lucy mask. Surprisingly, it was a bit harder to add life to this mask... that was until I bored out the eyes. From there it was nothing but fun :p . . . #burgerstrings #maskmaker #mask #scifi #sculpture #helmet #cosplay #costume #robot #cyberpunk #chavant #prop #maskmakersofig #haunt #halloweenmask #halloween #smoothon #ramaterials #maskfest https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KDjVwjPMS/?igshid=12il4cac8zxzw
