Some personal notes

The limited edition is slightly different from the original you might have seen on my website. The material used is elastic fabric for beach fashion and sports gear with a Pixel-style print of the German Secretary of the Interior Hans-Peter Friedrich. The mask has holes for your eyes and mouth, so you can see and breathe comfortably while wearing. But please take a look for yourself (see photos). Each Pixelhead is signed (stamp) and numbered, and comes with an Invoice and Certificate of Authenticity.

Please note: I accept PayPal and Bitcoin (via BitPay) transfer only! Please see below for more information. If you place an order you have to accept a waiting time of at least 4 weeks (after receipt of payment).

Why is that?

Every Pixelhead is made especially for you on request. The process of digital printing and sewing will take weeks. This is because of different steps and people involved at each stage in the production chain. And of course also the shipping will take some time. Due to this reasons I am not able to process your order faster. Sorry! After your piece is finished I will send it directly via postal mail.

About

The full face mask Pixelhead acts as media camouflage, completely shielding the head to ensure that your face is not recognizable on photographs taken in public places without securing permission. A simple piece of fabric creates a little piece of anonymity for the Internet age. The material used is elastic fabric for beach fashion and sports gear with a fashionable Pixel-style print of German Secretary of the Interior Hans-Peter Friedrich. The mask has holes for your eyes and mouth, so you can see and breathe comfortably while wearing the mask, secure in the knowledge that your image won’t be showing up anywhere you don’t want it to.

How to install Pixelhead

Below you will find some examples how you could install Pixelhead. Please note that I don`t offer neither the glas head nor the styrofoam head. But I am pretty sure you will find something in the web. I would suggest the glas head. It looks much more significant then the styrofoam head and you won`t have the white background. I suggest a height of around 32 centimeters.
