it all depends Dan. You can of course commission an artist to sculpt, mold, cast and complete something for you and only you. This would include you getting the mold and the rights to do whatever you want with it....now.....you are talking about a serious, serious, serious price tag attached to something like that. You can also go the route that several have done in the past. Get several people together to commission an artist to complete a piece. If you do it this way, the cost is not nearly as much, and the artist knows they are going to make a set amount of money from the project. In respect to getting an artist to make you something and then they keep the mold to sell the piece, it's been my experience that most artists do not like doing that. The main reason is that there isn't much of a chance they will be able to make any money off the mold from others ordering the mask....take care,Tommy
