Cow Gas Mask
The air has been particularly bad lately. Smog and pollution fill the skies. So you sneak out around midnight, hoping that the night air might be a little cleaner. Then you come face to face with this fellow.

Strange, but super cool, looks great.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that's amazing! I'd be up for more country walks if I thought I'd run across things like this.
ReplyDeleteI'm simply dying to see that in context. What can this mysterious project be?
ReplyDeleteAs always, brilliant.
You make the most amazing things. I'm in awe. Again.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the Gas Mask and thought to myself, most masks have an upper strap so the mask does not fall foward? Or is it not necessary because the display will be static.
ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your inquiry. I considered making such a strap, but it really isn't necessary. There is a strap (hard to see in the pic) that runs behind the hears and rests right against the backside of the horns, which serve as a very secure anchor. That plus the fact that the long snout of the cow keeps the mask on much more easily than the vertical shape of the human face ensures that this mask will not come off without undoing the two buckles (upper and lower).
Tom, I always enjoy a visit to your world. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea....its as if some other world, the air is so bad we have to protect our animals from harm with masks...I think it's beautiful!
