They all are with hippies. I know.

I find this aspie internet art tutorial strangely compelling...



...for reasons I find a mystery.

Sorry this took so long, Molly - moving back to America has been chaos. I've got a lot more of our masks pictured somewhere, but little luck finding so far. Not been productive lately in that area.

Here's the only en mass shot I turned up:


This one I by myself did in latex, unlike most.


I think this is the last one we did, a quickie for Buster, IIRC:


And glamor photography of one. (I'd been on my current machine so briefly that I'd yet to dispose of the junk shortcuts that came with it):

ugh that sounds like a gross sex act

I always figured a hippy shower was where they just spritzed with cologne. Much like a Mexican shower.

I like the Mexican vibe.

I remember going to a shop in Vancouver called 'The Chief's Mask' the first time I visited my friends there- I wanted to buy so many of the masks.

Buster's Aunt likes the Mexican vibe, too, obviously.

I need to find a closer view of some of the Japanese oni's. I'm really proud of those.

I apologize in advance to any unashamed bisexuals...

Wait, Alec Guinness was a convert to Roman Catholicism, therefore he COULDN'T possibly be bisexual. At least according to one regular poster, who also, quel coinkydink! happens to be a convert to Roman Catholicism.

This bears repeating:

See, the thing is, everybody b****es about the state of 'poly, but nobody DOES anything about it.

Do you think Aeson can fix this place on his own?

Hell no. I had a good opinion of the young man before he took on this decayed cesspool, and nothing has changed that. But it's too big for any one person. It needs a team - with YOU on it.

How many of you are pinging absent members to lure them back? (The ones you got along with, naturally; no one expects otherwise.) You never know who might still be getting email notifications of PMs and might respond. Well, if you think the state of this forum sucks, why are you sitting around p***ing and moaning instead of trying to build it in your own image? Apolyton is YOUR place. Step up and take responsibility. Look for opportunities to post good articles to the front page. Try to post on-topic in the on-topic forum of your choice regularly. Make a project of a dead one for a game you like. Look around for crap that needs doing and is up your alley.

Not everyone has the same things to contribute, but everyone has something. You come here to chat - this is how to draw more people to do it with. It's not brain surgery; it's just obvious things in need of people trying.

It won't be easy and it won't happen fast, but if you put in a moderate effort and stick to it, you will win. Everyone wins.


Now someone fix that awful greed post icon... In the dark theme, it's just plain broke.

Never mess up my sashimi order.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Yessir.

Buster's Aunt and I are theater people - there's no end to the kabuki, no, comedia del arte' and classical Greek masks that could be done...

I have an Indonesian one, not as surreal as this one, but more like one of the Messerschmidt portrait busts.
