A tribute to grandfather

HMS Repulse

It was so exciting to create Bobby Anderson´s mask. Bobby wanted a mask that was a tribute to his grandfather, who was in the crew on the Canadian ship HMS Repulse during the Second World War.

I love telling a story on a mask, and this artwork has so many details and messages to discover, just what I love creating.

The team theme on one side, and on the other side the design opens up with an oceans view with HMS Repulse in the front. And the closer you come, the more details you will discover, and the design transforms in front of your eyes.

The falling leaves all over the mask is a tribute to his Canadian citizenship, and the clovers is a tribute to his Irish heritage.

Check out the mask in the mask gallery and in the DAVEART App! Thank you for your interest.
