Since this is my all-things-design blog, I realize some of you might need some context. If you’re planning on creating a Deadmau5 head, even if you choose not to use the method I did, I hope you’ll find some parts of this useful.
It was one big experiment that I’m actually quite proud of. I don’t claim to be an expert builder, so if this first head is a little rough around the edges, that’s why. I was kinda bored and up for a challenge. I think the reason for building one this year, besides the fact that I TOTALLY loved Deadmau5 at Lollapalooza, was just to see if I could do it. I’ve never done anything this crazy for a costume and usually end up digging through my closet or buying one last minute from a thrift shop. This was a very ambitious project as I never built anything that had to look a specific way. As promised in this post – here is my experience in building a Deadmau5 head for Halloween.
