Artist's Comments

(2000) 5.5"x8.6" Mask, watercolors, varnish.

I bought the basic white mask many years ago during the carnival in Venice and did nothing much with it. However a few years ago I really became fascinated by R.H. Giger's art, and somehow that led me to wonder what would happen if you could make his style into "wearable art".

Unfortunately I do not own an airbrush, which is his weapon of choice, and to get an approximation of his amazing effects with watercolors and a tiny sable brush took a lot of time. The effects are mainly taken from a series of photomanips Giger did for an album for Debbie Harry and two of his biomechanical paintings.

I am quite pleased with the final result and have worn the mask on occasion, purely as an hommage, of course.

Absolutely wicked and some seriously good brushwork. A bit scary as well. :)

Thanks! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

Thanks, and yeah, Giger can give you nightmares if you're not careful. He has some seriously warped imagination, but he's good!

How are women and tornadoes alike?

They both moan like hell when they come, and take the house when they leave.
