Wonderful, brilliant as usual! When I was a lad the was a toystore in Wilton Connecticut called Boyd's. As you stepped in the front door if you turned left, the far wall was filled (in Autumn) with masks. A few of those creepy plastic see thru ones with the nasty elastic band, but mainly rubber masks. Cave man, hobo, shock monster and of course the famous Over the Head Frankenstien, Moleman, Wolfman, Mummy... they looked so good on the wall but the moment you put them on your skins sweats and you're gasping for air... ah, memories!

PLEASE NOTE: This is a blog where I just share images and things I like. I've transferred most of these over from years of posts on Facebook where I also wrote a little bit about each post. I hope to find time to add those descriptions later on, but for now I'm just posting images. To see my art you can look for me on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook or my other blog HERE LIES RICHARD SALA or my tumbler:
