Just sayin'

I was clearly making a joke. I'm not sure what you know. But I feel confident about what I know: both about race and about 3-D sculpture. I have been close to artists who have been working with 3-D modeling for quite a number of years.

No offense meant.

and haven't watched Game of Thrones. Call me culturally illiterate. Sorry I took offense. (But maybe an explanation was needed.)

and trust me, the Jon Snow thing was also cool.
so, win-win.

I've tried to think on it, come back to it...but at the end of it, I just don't like it. It reminds me of the white-plaster memento mori castings and death masks they'd make in the High Middle-Ages and Renaissance of dead important people--often placed in the coffins, saved as articles of state, kept by family, or displayed as part of the burial marker.


A secondary-casting in plaster from the wax-casting death mask of Oliver Cromwell.

but it certainly was the way they did things in those days. Oy.

"The Museum also owns a unique collection of life masks cast from the actual faces of famous Americans by John Henry Isaac Browere. Thomas Jefferson, John and John Quincy Adams, DeWitt Clinton, and Dolley Madison are among those in the collection."

One of my favorite exhibits at the house.

creepy - cool, but creepy.

Here is a 3D life mask of Abraham Lincoln.

Note: It requires WebGL which isn't available on iPhones or iPads.

Never noticed it before till you see just a white bust of him.

but that bust does. I thought the same thing!

They'll be printing all kinds of presidents without a license that we be untraceable.





Looks like something out of a Mission Impossible movie
