Wes Borland Instagram – This was the development process for the new stage look. From first sketch to sculpting and molding/casting/painting/grinding etc. @aliejoboxblock really helped me out on this one with pivoting to solve problems and come up with new solutions/ be a sounding board. I had the buffalo teeth to make the entire lower portion of the helmet but Japan and New Zealand have laws on importing animal products, so I cast 250 buffalo teeth out of resin which ended up being a plus because the material is lighter. The last photo is me repainting a new jacket today in Auckland because the fabric markers I used bled with sweat and were a complete fail. I don’t usually show the process this much but there have been questions about this one in particular so here ya go. Also shout out to @adelemildred for throwing me some advice from across the pond.
