"We're off to see the Jellyfox."

 This Halloween, me and two of my friends created masks each based on characters from Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy TV show. There are four characters in the sketch and they all have Fielding's eyes and mouth distorted into different facial characteristics. The lowest image displays the four, from left to right: Spoonsnake, Li'l Chrissy, Claw and McCoy. Li'l Chrissy tells of what they are seeking, which is 'the Jellyfox' who will resolve there problems. It's very surreal humour.

 The characters are made up from the collaging method and are painted in four bright colours, so this appealed to us a lot being art students. I chose the Spoonsnake, Natalie chose Li'l Chrissy and Tom chose McCoy. We made the masks in the same method, by painting bits of newspaper in different shades and sticking them all over a cardboard cut-out of the character's face. We added texture as well to heighten the eyebrows and nose, simply by placing more cut-out cardboard onto the mask.
