BLACK LODGE MASK was the first one I ever made that was based on a place. And an early iteration of my paper clay. I could do better now but I love this mask! Twin Peaks forever!
INDIAN FOLK ART AND CONTEMPORARY COSPLAY:
Gambhira is a cosplay festival. Folk music and local folk language is used in Gambhira cosplay so that villagers can deeply connect. Earlier Gambhira used to be simply humerus but now a days artists are using it for socioeconomic awareness.

Amil Droz, an artisanal mask maker based in Boquerón, Puerto Rico, took us for a walk through his rustic wooden home and art studio to see his vejigante masks and other 3D works of art he has created. Amil (pronounced Ay-MEEL) is originally from Puerto Rico, but spent most of his life living in New York, which you will be able to tell from his accent. He calls his business Tuntuneco Arts. His masks are mostly made out of coconuts in the style found in Loiza, Puerto Rico. We purchased one to display above the bar of our Cabo Rojo home.
Amil Droz Torres is a certified cultural Artisan whose art studio and shop, Tuntuneco Arte Taino, is located above the Copy Hamburger bar in Boqueron, Puerto Rico. His masks sculptures and painting are found in museums, schools, and corporations in New York and PR. He also teaches and presents as a guest artist. We were lucky to meet him in a Cabo Rojo sports bar while watching the AFC Championship Game! He’s also a NY Yankees fan, but we can forgive him for that.

It is embarrassing how long this mask has been in the works and how much I still have to do. Tbf I had broken a hand which already lost me 2 months... But I hope to finish this mask up soon-ish
