Brain Injury: Frontal Lobe

Explanation of Mask:
First of all, I was cutting my hair and trimming my beard one night, staring at a pile of hair that accumulated on a newspaper, wondering to myself, “What in the world am I going to use for my beard on my mask?!? The rest is self-explanatory!

Then I used a 3D Black Hole-like design centered where my frontal lobe is, to represent the dark/dismal downward spiral my frontal lobe had to struggle through.

Then I put headphones on to represent the incredibly positive effect that music had with my brain healing. I put a record player on one and the album cover of the *Album* I relied on MOST for positive vibe-age, on the other side.

Then I put a re-set button in one eye, because that’s how I’ve always described my TBI, like having the re-set button but in my brain. Then I put a bunch of disconnected wires, in the other eye to represent how with time, I had to make sure all of my wire were reconnected properly.

My intension was to make my mask Dark and Trippy because that was EASILY the darkest and trippiest thing I’ve ever been thorough. EVER.

*Album* Dr. Dog’s: B-Room album……♡ that album
