This is "DaMOOS" a very ambitious halloween costume which took over a month of one-on-one sessions to bring his idea to life. It involves a paper-mache head and stilts for arms. This encompassed many creative lessons such as sculpture, sewing, observational drawing of nature, engineering and studying theater costumes.
