Since I was a little kid I always wanted to make monsters. I actually remember,
and it's kinda funny cuz recently in one of these [SWSCA] tutorials
I see that my good buddy Mike Chapman is always making comments
And actually we went to high school together
and the first kinda gag I ever did we
blunted down a razor blade and hooked surgical tube to it.
And he was behind me with a turkey baster filled with blood.
And we went up to my French teacher and I did a fake cut up my arm
And when he squeezed the plunger
the surgical tubing blew out the end
and blood shot all over my French teacher's suit and since it was his last year,
he was kinda burnt out anyway, he just laughed and taught the rest of the day with blood all over his suit.
When I left school and decided not to be an animator,
I can only describe it as a lightning strike
one day hit me and I just knew that I was a mask maker
even though I'd never sculpted in my life, I'd never made a mask before, I just decided that's it.
And it's been almost four years now and I haven't looked back.
All these years I'd looked for an artistic medium to really sink my teeth into and nothing really ever hit.
When masks finally came I realized there were so many aspects of masks
that hit me where I needed to be touched by something that was gonna take up all my time
And one of them was the Shamanic purpose of masks
and that they go back for thousands and thousands of years.
When someone would put on a mask to actually embody another spirit
the tribe would actually believe that it's not the Shaman anymore.
It's actually the spirit embodying the mask
that came to visit them and share wisdom or bring healing.
So that was really powerful to me.

and grow and in that sense it it is a double-edged sword because
I've taken on commission the things that maybe I wouldn't necessarily define
myself but to expand my portfolio
showed a can work with other can take job but I think that is an important
part
