Sunday Fun: It's the Monster Mask!

Click on image for "more scarier".

On Friday, Halloween, in keeping with the spirit of ghosts and goblins, I posted a picture of a monster designed and built by me for a (as of yet unfinished) short-form motion picture. After the monster entered the filming stage, the fight choreographer, a young woman, told me as she looked off toward the special guest star: "I find that really disturbing."

(I should rent it out for Halloween... the costume, that is. A human being needs to populate it.)

This monster-build started on my office's work table. I bought a theatrical mask from Malibar, here in Toronto, and used that as my starting point. From a hardware store I grabbed a tube of urethane foam and, with a few squeezes of the caulking gun's trigger, a star was born.


Postscript: Yes, that is the National Post underneath my work of art. I had a subscription for a couple of years. (Not any more.)
