New Book on Distortions Masks

[EDITOR MFTV]

I loved Blacksparrow's Don Post mask book, this looks like another great one!

For those of us who know Distortions best from their early mask-making days,
that preview of chapter one is a real treat. I anxiously await the book's release.

Interesting. Looks awesome.

Originally this was going to cover all of Distortions history but then it was decided to release it in 2 volumes. Volume 1 is dedicated to their mask making history and Volume 2 to their Haunted Attractions work. I think that was a good call. It will keep the cost down for those that may not be interested in one or the other. Plus it gives the author more time to work on Volume 2.

This is a definite purchase for me!

Now that I've had my copy of this book for a few years; read it, re-read it,
and re-re-read it; it's about time to submit the positive review it deserves.
Following an Introduction by Jordu Schell and Foreword by Dick Van Dyke,
we get to grow up with monsterkid Ed Edmunds who somehow survived a
tumultuous childhood of extreme pranking, substance abuse, and martial 
arts to later establish Distortions Unlimited.



Evolving from home studios to industrial facilities, the text is accompanied
by catalog pages, ad layouts, and fantastic photos of sculpts in progress and
masks in production. Best of all, we can read comments in Ed's own words on
the creation of those early characters from the 1980s. Hmmm, I wonder if some
of the actual masks pictured on the production line ultimately made it into
my personal collection ...
