Traditional Masks

The art of mask making and use has been diminishing over the years. During the inktober challenge 2018 i drew 31 masks from India and around the world to showcase the dying tradition of mask making. The medium used were color pens, brush pen on postcards available at the postal service in India. Several organizations today are selling masks made by authentic artisans for collectors, also as home decor. So here is my little tribute to these two vanishing traditions and lovely pieces of art.

Fantasy and magic have always ruled over my world, from movies to TV shows, to Video Games to tabletop games like Dungeos and Dragons, I try to find magic in every part of my life.
