Brain Injury:  Surgery

Explanation of Mask: ​My name is Dean, I am 45 years old, and I am originally from Colorado. I enjoy watching from all genres, but my favorites are horror and action. I got my brain injury five years ago when I died on the operating table while getting surgery. I was revived twice, which is why some people call me “a miracle” or “Hercules” because of how strong I am. “Never be afraid to die” was the first thing that came to my head when I started designing my mask. After my experience, I am not afraid of death and neither should anyone else. I also used yellow pipe cleaners to create an angelic halo above my head.
