Phenomenal. Exceptional detail put into these. My only questions: do they work and where can I get one?
I love steampunk stuff and these certainly fit the bill. But on the other hand, they are seriously creepy!
Hello Chris,
While I find steampunk stuff interesting, I can go to about a zillion other sites to find it. I don’t really see how it fits here on the Retronaut.
Steampunk is not “the past”, which is what I come here to find more about. It’s fictional artifacts of the past as imagined by clever and creative young people. But “the past” it ain’t.
Kind regards.
Seriously, I’m with Spitale, where can I get some? These are amazing masks.
I WANT!!! As a burlesque performer and fellow designer/craftsperson I am absolutely floored at your collection! I am literally drooling on my keyboard! I am very interested to know if these were one-offs or if you would make one of them again… Please email me with a link to your website proper or an idea of costs. I am swooning!
Some of those look kinky. Others look like what the Nazi dude had on in Hellboy.
Don’t worry about the Retronaut elitists. These are fabulous. Also wanting one. How to buy?
