Years In Review - The Mask: No. 18

this particular mas is unusual (for me) for one simple thing. It involves the colour. I, personally, do not like to use the colour "green" heavily in a piece. This was an exercise to step out of my comfort zone.

Years in Review - The Mask No. 9


another re-working. I changed the colour of the mask by scanning  a section of one of my acrylic abstract paintings and changing the background to black.

Years in Review - The Mask No. 08


this is an older design that I went back and re-worked. The original mask was drawn/scanned around 2001 and I dis the rework about two months ago. The original was a completely black background with glowy "tentacles" where the negative space is now.

Years in Review - The Mask No. 07


One has to look closely at the piece to see the three mask images. The background in this piece is a scanned section of a hand-dyed silk scarf I did while in school.

Years in Review - The Mask No. 03


still experimenting with "effects" in Photoshop. Our first Photoshop program was the 5.5 edition. Long Long time ago in the Photoshop "world". One thing that has not changed in this time is that I still draw all the mask images by hand and scan, create a .tif file for Photoshop.
