From the Bob Basset steampunk art collective in the Ukraine, their latest creation: a stunning black leather pilot mask. I own one of their masks and it is a goddamned thing of beauty.

Black Pilot Leather Mask. Маска ?ёрный Пилот.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Beeea-U-tiful!
    How much?
    (Oh, wait. That means I can’t afford it)

    Menina Estelar,
    Do the Gengivas Negras play the music from the Star Wars cantina?
    They should.
    (And please no one say I’m culturally insensitive. I’ve seen my share of live concerts in Brazil and none of the musicians wore anything like that. Except maybe in the Carnaval parade…)

    It’s just ‘Ukraine’. Only very careless writers refer to ‘the Ukraine’ as such.

  • Noah Lieske

    What drugs do you have to take to design something like that?

  • nicol

    God bless you, Cory

  • Takuan

    makes sense in an open cockpit.

  • ChesterKatz

    @18 Bad analogy. Although it’s not considered correct to say “The Ukraine”, it is indeed correct to say “The USA”.

    That must belong to Homer Simpson.

  • MeninaEstelar

    beautiful.

    It reminded me of brazilian noise band Gengivas Negras
    They play in suits and masks.

  • Ratdog

    So, Cory, do you wear that steam-punk mask in your free-time? or do you just wear it to work?

  • Ratdog

    I bet these will be worn after/during the apocalypse.

    Those ear holes seem too big for the average human specimen… Is this a fetish mask designed specifically for the Easter Bunny?

  • Cory Doctorow

    @3 Well, my Ukrainian family members say the Ukraine. I guess that being of Ukrainian descent entitles me to say “The Ukraine” if I choose.

  • Takuan

    (we take turns)

  • Antinous / Moderator

    It’s just ‘Ukraine’.

    If you want to be really Ukraintsi about it, you’d say Ukraina.

  • elfspice

    that mask is teh sex.

    i love that style with the big round bug-eyes, there’s a military gas mask which is similar and it likewise puts me into fits of ‘i vaaaaant’ :)

    Please, not say The Ukraine, say Ukraine, like USA, not The USA.

    I shall never look up at your balloon the same way again, Cory.
