#MaskWork
Rich Larson’s “Maskwork Saltman Giftbox”: In a city where bots do most jobs, a worker wears printed faces to attend events for rich clients. One job sends them to a hospital disguised as a dead man.

I’m only doing maskwork until I find better, but there aren’t many physical jobs to go around in Schrödinger City. Most get done by gleaming machines, by hop-along bots and drone swarms. Luckily, maskwork needs a human touch—and supposedly, village folk are better at it than the folk who grew up here. Could be. I always liked masks.

From Dr. @harryspoelstra.bsky.social on Twitter:

"🔥If a population all wear FFP2/N95 masks, this reduces the effective reproduction number for COVID-19 transmission by a factor of approximately 9.
➡️That's......f.cking substantial!😡

(If you know me you know I *love* maskwork and how it can unlock things an actor's regular exposed face simply cannot. That's not what this feels like.)

Intel was hesitant to produce the 8087 chip, considering it complex, risky, and with an unknown market. Intel's Israel site took on the project; the die is marked "i/IL". The chip was a highly profitable success. Now, almost all computers use floating-point systems based on the 8087.

I got into one of Dodi DiSanto's clown classes! She has high standards, but if I make a good impression she might accept my application for her next maskwork class. I'm absolutely over the moon, and so is Ashes. 🌒

Another shared poem for #ShakespeareDay
Here's 'Second Best Bed' taken from Maskwork by Gregory Leadbetter.
Read this beautiful book of 'lushly experimental' poems whose "melodic, undulating voice will pin you to the page.”

Honestly it's phenomenal (and I was meh on The Batman). Speaking of theatre kid energy, Colin Farrell is doing the kind of maskwork Lecoq dreamed of

a conversation in DMs about traditional graphic design techniques with a friend (who remembers when i was cutting maskwork w/ cardboard and cheap plastic tape to brushpaint fabric and paper years ago).
i simply didn't understand how halftone sheets were actually used!

since there were some printing errors on the first try i am tweaking the design a bit ..

small tip : a plane subdivided , with a beveled point will create a circle which you can extrude and then solidify object to properly cut up large prints like this :

Hello there, how do the belt buckles to the side of the ball under the maskwork? Can you open them to remove the Ballgag-part or are they used to fasten the entire mask to the head? Id love to know more

one of the most beautiful combinations of words and accent was the interview where Tim Blake Nelson said "Balinese maskwork."
