The artists of Aburi, Ghana are famed for their wood carvings and masks. Unfortunately for them, Aburi is too far from the main tourist attractions in Accra. I wish they'd promote themselves better, put logos or seals of authenticity on their work, get on the internet for example, but I guess I and others are lucky beneficaries of their marketing ineptitude. Oh. well...

Custom mask made to match a prom dress. I used metallic filament, hand dyed thread and swarovski crystals to embellish this one.

She had blue skin.
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by –
And never knew.
It seemed like such a good idea. Mix up an avocado face mask and smear it on, then take a self-portrait in the bathroom mirror! Unfortunately, it turns out that (1) applying it smoothly and evenly is an acquired skill; (2) the lighting in my bathroom is horrible; (3) I don't know how to use the timer on my DSLR because I've misplaced the instruction manual; and (4) my point and shoot, which is on it's last legs, choose to record only black and white right then. So, I would appreciate it if you would all imagine this goop on someone's face instead of in this custard cup and vote accordingly. Thanks.

Mask of a monkey deity from medieval Japan. This picture is actually taken from a museum, but it explains some of my interests.

A gift by my African exchange student son. The mask is narrow and doesn't fit a human face; it's meant for wall decoration. So I photoshopped some eyes in its, but it not perfect. I don't have time to make it perfect. :-0
[First, I will begin by apologizing for the low-light photographs of this tutorial. The basement where I am currently using plaster does not offer great conditions for my camera. Still, I wanted to share my process and so the photos are what they are.]
I start with a mask modeled in plastaline. The mask is deeper than the finished product will become because I must have an even surface in order to fill the neoprene.
For me art is exploration and discovery. I try new things, discover something novel, surprising, wonderful, or unique and then push it a little further. The great thing about working in digital media is that you can save all the steps and make modifications without risk.
This image started as an iPod Touch photo of flower pots on our back porch. I then used Photo FX to modify the image. I dropped out the color, blurred the image, used the Abstract Contours filter and the Ancient Canvas filter. This produced an interesting image, but it lacked definition. So, I brought the Photo FX image into ToonPaint to create a black and white sharp edged mask. I then put the Photo FX and ToonPaint images in separate layers in Sketch Club and used the Overlay blend mode to combine them. I spent the next two hours retouching the shapes and adding colors to produce a final image. I was pleased. It was late. I went to bed.
The next morning it occurred to me to try additional ToonPaint masks, offset them in different layers, and try different blend modes. As I experimented, several of the combinations surprised and delighted me. So I saved them. In a matter of minutes I produced the rest of the series.
