I’m sure if Richard Harrow had a dog, he’d wake up to this every morning. (Taken with instagram)

Oh, I didn’t even think of how it applies to current soldiers… but I agree completely. And yes, he’s certainly the most honorable. Even more than Margaret.

Haha this is making me giggle… Richard just does this to amuse himself when he gets bored.

People assumed that Richard Harrow would lose the ability to beat-box when he lost half of his face.

People assumed wrong.

Alright, so you need a costume and you want to make fangirls swoon? Well, here’s how to make an inexpensive Richard Harrow mask that looks great.

So, you can either make a paper mache mask or buy a paper mache mask I found at Target. It’s only two dollars and works great.

So, cut that sucker in half. With the other half, us the forehead to cut out an eyeball. I made it this size:

Cut out another little slit for the eyelid. It’ll give the eye some layers and it’ll look nicer than just painting it on. So, let’s look at where our mask is now…

Paint the mask and the eyelid. I used a coral acrylic paint and used a sponge brush. I bought a 99 cent brush kit (comes with a sponge brush, several detail brushes and a sponge), the acrylic paint and three dimensional fabric paint (eye color and pupil) at Michael’s. Ended up being around six dollars. Put on a few coats so it becomes smooth. I used the fabric paint to make the eye stand out a bit. So, let’s check this mask out now.

For the mustache and eyebrow, I just bought a cheap 25 cent fake mustache and cut it in half. To make it look textured and not furry, I covered the top with black paint. Attach it and viola! Richard Harrow mask! It’s not the best quality, but considering it only took about ten dollars to make, it was well worth it. I also added blush on the cheek to give it some color.

Well, done working on it for the night.

After it dries, I’m going to detail it, add a little more color and add some of the damage that’s on the mask. Still, pretty happy with where it’s at right now.

Now… where’s my ticker tape parade?
