be your own elegant, steampunk elephant man

If you absolutely, positively must wear a gas mask, you might as well do it with extreme style and panache.

Artist Tom Banwell works with leather and resin to make rayguns, helmets, and absolutely incredible masks like this one. The “ear” is the best part, I think, though the sinister trunk looks like something out of a nightmare. A really stylish, artistic nightmare.

If you’d like a piece of your own, you can check out Banwell’s Etsy shop.
