"The Mask of Blackie the Cat" by Gary Baseman
Gary Baseman has solicited "The Mask of Blackie the Cat", releasing to their "exclusive newsletter recipients" the first small batch. No info if this'll be released online at a later date, nor at his coming solo show tho...
"Designed and hand-painted by Baseman, the Mask of Blackie the Cat was MADE IN LA. From the first drawing to the original sculpt, the vacuum form fabrication to the assembly, and hand-painting, ALL were done in Hollywood. For this production of masks, Baseman wanted to recognize the talent and professionalism of the creative industry in his hometown."
