Zephyr's Masks
Writer Jody Houser and artist Francis Portela did an amazing job with the art and story line in the comic book Faith. According to Etelka Lehoczky “Faith’s costume is so graceless, it almost seems like the work of an artist who’s channeling unspoken fatophobia.” (Lehoczky) I agree with lehoczky point about the costume Francis Portela created in the comic that didn’t show any exotic look to her costume.

My reality is that the wheelchair is always going to be there, and Zephyr reality is that she will always be a superhero whether she likes it or not. In some of the daydream scenes (in the book or the film?) Zephyr starts to look more fashionable, is this because artist Marguerite Savage took over those scenes? In some eyes this could be sexism, but I feel it’s something women do, they dream about being more fashionable. Savage did a great job with the art in those scenes. Faith was a book that in some way may cause a problem because some comic fans might have a fatophobia, but what about the fans that are tired of seeing female character in tight outfits, low skirts and some type of exotic look to

    In Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem We Wear the Mask you quickly find out it is one big metaphor. Dunbar’s meaning behind this poem is about people covering up their feelings like someone using a mask to cover their face; as if it’s a big front to hide what is really going on. Dunbar being an African American poet in the late 19th and early 20th century was a harder time on colored people. His poems relate back to the hardships he saw and knew. The poem is broken up into three paragraphs. Each one talks about this mask hiding cheeks and eyes, covering up the truth from the world, and dealing with your emotions behind closed doors. In We Wear the Mask Dunbar uses metaphors and symbolism, which all add up to the theme of the poem.…

His area is Ceramics, which he uses in order to create masks among others, and he is also a concept artist. As seen from the coloured images in the portfolio (that can mostly be scrolled through sideways, similarly to the Rhiannon Ewing-James’ portfolio) the masks that the artist makes are mainly covered in earthy colours, with occasional usage of bolder colours such as sapphire, red, and gold (metallic undertones are used too). This is very effective, and examples of this include a mask imitating a grotesque rat, coloured…
