Title
Leather Masks, Mardi Gras Masks, Halloween Masks, Custom Leather Masks by Vincent Ur
Description
I first began mask making after a vacation to New Orleans, where I was first exposed to leather Mardi Gras masks. I spent several hours in the mask shop, and purchased two, before I headed home.
After doing some research on the mask making process, I drew upon my background in art and literature, and produced several masks of my own design. Over the next few months, as my experience in mask making grew, and new techniques developed, I began experimenting with new and varied designs.
Because I have had no formal training, my techniques, designs, and subject matter are somewhat unique and off the beaten path. I have now produced thousands of masks. My styles range from festive masks such as the man in the moon, jesters, and the sun king, to creatures of the night like demons, skulls, and dragons, to everyday animal masks such as wolves, eagles, cats and bats. I also produce many custom pieces on a regular basis.
