Mr Burns: A Post Electric Play 

Mr Burns Mask 

My main build for this show was the mask and gloves for Mr Burns. Our designer Sean Mclcahy wanted all the props to look as if they were made of found objects by the characters themselves.

For the mask I used a pre existing mask pulled from starage for the base, which I painted and added other found objects to such as: welding googles, washers, hair clips for teeth, and piping. 

My favorite details on the mask are some toxic waste coming out of the nose and side of the tubes. As well as the three welts on the forehead which are oozing green. 

Mr Burns Gloves 

our designer wanted Mr Burns hands to look like peey flacky simpsons skin with veins showing and sysarnges full of toxic waste for fingers. 

I covered long black gloves with layers of rubber latex, cotton batting, cotton balls, and cords to create the skin texture. Which I later painted. 

The most diffcult part of this build was attaching the syrenges to the fingers. There was an action in the show in which even bigger gloves worn on to of these ones are dramatically pulled off - and during rehearsals the syringes would often fall off. The action of the show also had Mr Burns preforming a sword fight while wearing these gloves, so I had to make sure that the gloves allowed enough dexterity, and the syringes would stay securely on. I went though many different attachment methods in the process until I finally found a combination of things that worked.
