The Mt Fuju mask is great. If surgical masks were worn here in the US (they never are in public) then I would definitely get one
[]matt
To the guy who said masks are never worn in the us. Stop going to bs doctors and you will probably see alot of people wearing masks. Quit letting america look bad just because your cheap ass doesnt go to good doctors.
[]DFCooper
Matt your response makes little to no sense. If you could read Timothy was saying that surgical masks are seldom seen in PUBLIC not at a doctors office.. You sir are the fool who makes America (we use capitalization when writing a nations name) look bad. I'm guessing that your the cheap ass who doesn't spend money on books.
[]DFCooper
P.S. I see people wearing them on NYC subways on a somewhat regular basis.

Skull Masks: Because the only thing better than protecting yourself from a deadly disease is reminding others of their own mortality while you do it!
[]l'elk!
timothy: that's not true. i sometimes see people wearing surgical masks here in NY. especially after this swine flu hoop-la.

"The mask of Beauty" my butt. The shape of the face looks like the top of a bowling ball pin, it's the ugliest one up there. The overall concept of these masks is a good idea though and i do enjoy the skull one.
[]Yoshida
Unfortunately these are just illustrations so far so they're not avaible anywhere.
[]Some surgical mask manufactorer might start making these soon though. Seems something that could come semi-popular.

LMAO... As much Ironic as it is, Its True... Well If it's Gonna be an Epidemic, Let's Hit that Damn Thing in Style.
[]This is Inspiring, My Dad is a Surgeon, I play with these Stuff, Time to Add some paint to It!:D

[]jonnie
I can't wait to see someone out wearing one of these...
[]jonnie
great masks where do they sell these?
[]The Wizard
Wow, the octopus one? What is with the Japanese constantly invoking Cthulhu? Why must they persistently risk the awakening of the sleeping Great Old One? Seriously, I value my sanity.
[]Pink Laptop Diva
Those are awesome! I think the skeleton one should be changed to the skeleton of a pig snout, though, to keep in the theme of the swine flu.
[]Nego - Syria
Cool Idea, Why not?

Yoshida,
My daughter (10) is having severe asthma difficulty with respect to earth science class at school. Apparently there is mold in the soil and she has an immediate asthma attack when she enters the room, much less touches the soil. She is now wearing a surgical mask and latex gloves before entering the room and this seems to be working. However, needless to say, the masks available are "boring". Saw your creations on-line and was wondering if these were yet available for sale? As you can imagine, other 10 year-old kids are not very forgiving and tend to make fun of her with her gear on. The good news is that she has picked up the nickname "Dr. Samm". Thanks.
[]Abby
How do you buy these masks,
[]I live in england and i have a pretty bad cold at the moment and i am really not in to spreading it around.
I want a really good one.
Can anybody help me?

If these are finally for sale some where, I'd love to buy several styles. I'm a piercer at a studio and these would be perfect for a little added flair to accent a professional, sterile atmosphere. If there is any site anyone knows of or if I can buy direct please leave the info.
[]Heidi
What about for children who are sick let's say with Cancer.I think these would be great,if they want to where something besides the basis standard one's.
[]Eric
I am looking to buy these or similar style masks for my family. My father has just under gone a lung transplant and will be required to wear a mask in public areas. He is a proud man and it would be discouraging to him to be seen in public with one. If I could find designer masks like these that we could all wear while accompanying him, he would feel more comfortable.
[]Please let me know if you have any information. Thank you.
