masks

I am travelling in Sri lanka and this is my version of the Sri Lankan masks.

Mixed media on paper.

Here’re some ideas for costumes this Carnival.


Some of these started out as illustrations of masks and developed bodies or other characteristics.

Here are some more from the masks series! They were so juicy and interesting to draw.

I spent a chunk of my New Years break rendering masks in ink and watercolor. I can't get over their shapes and the emotionality of them.

I collaged "Krampus is Coming For You" together with my own monoprints as well as one of my drawings of Japanese Noh masks that I cut out of an old sketchbook. For the second piece, I had a drawing of Marie Antoinette as an ice cream cone, so I gave her a dress, put a background of my monoprints on her, etc. Then I added more cherries, and the circle reminded me of a clock, so I inked in the arms accordingly.

Noh Doubt About It: I drew 20 masks today.

I went to the museum and started sketching some of the masks and things that were in there..

A birch plywood hexagon. Painted by hand. I wonder about the masks we wear.

There's a moment in Black Panther where Michael B Jordan's character steals an African mask from a museum. When the other character with him asks why, he says "I'm just feelin' it." The mask he grabbed was VERY cool, and I kind of wanted one, too. But, short of stealing things out of museums, I guess I'll have to draw them. If you click on the image, you'll see a full spread of them.
