I know those masks well.

I've seen them for sale. Don't fit in my house.

Buy a bigger house.

Can you explain what has drawn you to collecting these masks and maybe if you feel comfortable show your collection?

Those are some freaky ass masks, imagine seeing those coming towards you in the night.

I like the aesthetics of certain masks.

I posted my collection on the blog and Instagram.

BTW: @Leo Gura I have seen the request before for adopting a search system for the blog section, I would like to add for future posts maybe work with tags (#topic). This can help improve grouping of subjects.

Have one mask myself. Picked it up in Jamaica in 2012. It's a souvenir, not a ritual mask. It represents the start of my transformation. It was the start where I changed my life around.

That's me with the creator Joel. Taken near James Bond beach, het had his little hut and made souvenirs.
