Iron top hats, futuristic dinosaur masks, militant Santa jackets, and an artistry tempered by the fires of over a decade in BRC. Come with us as we sample the twisted fruits of an original Playa-costume frontiersman.
You’ve seen his work before on the playa. His conceptual drawings and inspirational personae have given form to several of Mr. Jellyfish’s art projects including Mantis. He is a co-creator of Camp Apokiliptika, a regular at the Booby Bar, and now his unique artwork can be yours to wear.
In this exciting episode, “Kernul” Killbuck leads his forces to yet another victory in his campaign against your sense of reality. This time he’s once again marauding along the costuming front by enticing all of us with his beautiful custom couture creations (a few of which are pictured here). With a battle plan of brilliant design, excellent execution, and a willingness to customize to your exact specifications it looks like his victory is assured.
We’ve been amazed with Killbuck’s artistry on innovative Burning Man art projects for a number of years now. His ability to simulate patina, texture, blaster marks, or just about any other finish on lightweight, mold-able materials is beyond compare outside of Hollywood special effects. Perhaps this is because he grew up in a theater family building sets and designing wardrobes with his father.
Most impressive though is how startlingly original the things his strange mind comes up with are. He’s a creative genius operating with all the ease of someone who was born to generate in-your-face freakiness.
Offered for sale on his new site are stunningly adorned hats, masks, coats, epaulettes, goggles, spats, and utility belts. Examples of each are pictured in excellent detail and there’s also a gallery showcasing a number of his other works at the very bottom.
