The Mechanic's Daughter: The Beginning

For the longest time I have thought about a blog...mostly it is just to store all the fun influences and things that I find on the internet. But fear not reader! I will also try and make if interesting and include my own art and experiences. I'm a maker of things. I really can't help it - it's a little compulsive condition I should probably seek treatment but I enjoy it too much.

Here is the an interesting thing that I have found today by Chris Dimino.

You can find him at his website. http://designhead.net/cdimino/gasmask.html

Can't say that I would want it in my house, it's a little creepy and maybe insensitive, but I applaud the idea. I really like the way the ceramic tile is molded around the head, like it was fabric and not ceramic. I also like being able to put things in the eye sockets, STORAGE! It really reminds me of that episode of Torchwood (British Sci-Fi Comedy that my friend got me addicted to) with the little kid in a gas mask going "Mummy" - scary. Deffinately had a few nightmares about that one. The gas mask has actually showed up in my work before. On the back of my first embroidered baby doll, "Bombs".
