This task started as a bit of a Halloween project. I wanted to make a mask, not a full costume, but it had to be something that fit the following criteria:

1) It must be badass.
2) It should have horns
3) It should be somewhat personal to me, but in a subtle way.
4) It should reference my current artwork, a series of fliers written as a madman obsessed with Pittsburgh history.

I've been working in my art lately with the idea of a holy cyclops- a one eyed man of justice serving a higher being. I see a lot of myself in such a man. And like the apostles have animals that represent them, so to could my 1-eyed angel have an animal- a bull with the same mark.

And so the character of Henry Clay Frick from the fliers became a sort of Minotaur/Cyclops mask, an externalization of my own badassitude.

I wear it proudly.
