Pre Columbian Mask Collection



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.
