DIY Hallowe'en: "Nest" Mask

In a still-growing Boing Boing DIY Hallowe'en costume open comment thread, Boing Boing reader Ian Langohr shares this photo gallery of his wicked-cool creations.

Ian is an artist and fabricator, and he explains: "I make masks for myself. I usually just wear one of them. This year I am going to wear one that I call Nest. It's sort of a self portrait."

  Thanks for posting this. I love this blog and it is an honour to be featured on it! : )

    Ian!
    I didn’t realise you were a boinger.

    As always, your work is awesome

    When I see you next, you’d better be wearing one of these masks. “But Halloween was 5 months ago” is not an excuse. This mask is too cool to only wear once a year!

  Your eyes say you’re fascinated by reproduction, but your knees say, “None for me, thanks.”

  Awesome job Brosef! Very cool to see this on you.

  His masks are stunning. So many posts in that thread are creative and inspiring.

  I keep having to stop myself from typing “jaw-dropping” for fear of undermining praise with puns.

  Perhaps next year’s Boing Boing picnic should be a costume party?

  I think I’d pretty much look like that woman if he sat beside me, too
