It's all about masks! I think I've written about this fact before on this site. While on a visit to the PMA (Portland Museum of Art) in early October, I was wasting away a few idle moments in the gift/book shop, when a book grabbed my attention. It was Masquerade, by Inge Morath, a book detailing the artist Saul Steinberg's paperbag masks. Masks have always intrigued me. Whether it's for All Hallows Eve(remember my devil costume?), on stage, on a morning tv show, or even at an actual masquerade ball, they hide a lot but REVEAL more. After sharing the book, a few of my friends and I played around a bit. It was hilarious! Take a look at this example. How'd I do?http://www.saulsteinbergfoundation.org/saul_steinberg.html
You did well. But did you walk up those front stairs thus attired?!

I recognize him!
ReplyDeleteNice job!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great...what a way to hide the 'bags' under the eyes.
ReplyDeleteMasks, ah masks; I'm always wanting to look behind the mask . . .
ReplyDeleteThis is funny! Love it.
ReplyDeleteNever knew there was a paperbag mask genre! But I do have a weakness for a fancy moustache ;-)
ReplyDeleteUh oh! It's the unknown blogger!

So handsome!!
ReplyDeleteVery silly but fun and funny!
ReplyDeleteThis gets my vote for the best dressed paper bag.
ReplyDeleteYou did pretty darn good but the suit and tie take it to another level.
ReplyDeleteLooking quite dapper!
ReplyDeleteHummmm.... I smell something fishy here.
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify- I'm behind the camera on this one not in the suit. However, I 'made' this face in 8 seconds. Ha!
ReplyDeleteHEY THAT'S ME!!!
