I just finished working on these masks which I will be using for this year's promotional materials. My inspiration came from South American pre columbian art-- specifically within the Colombian region: the Quimbaya, Tumaco and Tayrona. Along the way my love for hip-hop and street art also made an appearance in the stylization. One of the orange masks reminds me of those 80's flat top hairstyles. Anyway, there are so many uses I have planned for these guys so I'll continue to post as they come into existence.

These came out pretty cool. Where do you get your reference for these masks? As you know I enjoy making paintings of these sorts of masks. Let me know!
Hey Alex I have some mini replicas at home and books that I've bought at Strand and when I visit Colombia.
