I just finished a new mask, it'll debut this Friday night with
Black Cat Burlesque's performance at the
the 5th Annual New York Burlesque Festival.
Some photos of the process:

Wire framework of the head, made from 14-gauge galvanized wire from Home Depot, with 24-gauge wire figure-eights to tighten each joint.

Double-wide masking tape wrapping the wire, with some balled-up tape to help mold the features----less-messy and less-smelly to work with than papier-mache


Layers of acrylic paint over a base coat of Mars Black


I am super-excited to announce that legendary So-Cal Horror-Surf band
The Ghastly Ones are headed to the East Coast this Autumn and will be performing with
Black Cat Burlesque at the
Coolidge Corner Theatre on October 4th.
The Nebulas and
Rock City Crimewave will be opening the show. BCB has been huge fans of the Ghastly Ones for years and are conjuring up some spookalicious new acts for this midnight creepshow!
J. Cannibal, "Boston's Horror Burlesque King" presents Feast of Flesh 5 with music by
Bad Ash, spookalicious striptease by
Black Cat Burlesque, the legendary splatter-fest film, "EVIL DEAD", plus the infamous zombie costume contest, and gorey goodie bags for all the guys and ghouls.
I know a certain glow-in-the-dark Grim Reaper who'll be playing horror surf guitar to welcome the incoming crowd before the main events.
