To follow up yesterday's post, here is Monster of the Month flyer containing all the info for those interested in joining in on Distortions' MotM subscription service...

Distortions Monster of the Month - October '14

The Distortions Monster of the Month was announced at Maskfest this past September to eager collectors. Last week, the first mask in the series began arriving at doorsteps. "Blink", sculpted by Mikey Rotella, is the first mask in the series. If the remaining masks in the series come anywhere close to the quality of Blink, it will be steal for collectors, as these pieces are available for just $32 each with a full year subscription.

1992 Great Cover Up Catalog

Day six of the Great Cover Up catalog week features the 1992 catalog. As stated in yesterday's post, Don Post Studios was doing all the development for the GCU at this point in time, and the influence of the sculptors who were working for DPS can be seen in most of the masks. Even the design of this catalog has a similar vibe to the of the 92 Don Post Catalog.
