I found this magical series of photographs whilst looking for unicorns. The work is by photographer Ben Hopper who asks ‘Why do we cover our bodies but display our faces. They remind me of some prints produced by Tado a couple of years ago featuring girls in lingerie wearing giant panda masks.

The unicorn girl in this series is also the closest image I have found to my unicorn drawings and interestingly my unicorn hobby horse resulted from an intention to produce a mask. I still have ambitions to produce a mask so it’s been great to stumble upon this photo-set.

You can view the whole series of photographs so far on Ben’s website here: www.therealbenhopper.com

I discovered this image via the wonderful ThisIsColossal blog last week. The photograph is by Ross Gilmore who’s really rather good although from those images I had a look at this definitely stood out. Those of you who know me well will understand that as it definitely appeals to by love of all things uncanny and grotesque.
