I started to collect because I was tired of mass produced masks for costumes. I stumbled upon NIGHTOWL, gohs, and nfx studios one day and new i had to get a "good" costume going.
I started to grow out of dressing up and realized *to me at least* that these were peices of art and alot of worik went into them and started collecting display pieces.
I\'ve been pretty lucky where all my friends and family are actually impressed with the pieces I have, and if someone isn\'t I just explain the piece, the significance of the piece, and/or the artist and it usually gains thier interest.
