In sheer defiance of the World Wide Web Consortium's will, Ectomo was designed using a non-web-standard font. Luckily, it is included in the excellent font pack released by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which can be freely downloaded in Mac and PC formats here. Ectomo should still look fine without it, though.
art for dummy’s-
put a gas mask on something that doesn’t usually wear a gas mask

doesn’t stop it from being a bit unnerving though, does it?

This give incarnation/carma/entropy (or whatever Buddhism preaches) into another light/perspective. Am I a dummy, or what?
Or is it just some cheep FX-trick from the tv-series DR WHO (the one where everybody in the world faces transformed into gasmask, as duh dummys
Tyrell in Blade Runner had a plot for LA, turning humans into sewer creature.
What do Asian’s of Buddhist fate say about this statue? Maybe a heresy thing(cant picture … A few years ago Danish press publicized cartons of prophet Mohamed. And for that, muslims burned danish embassy all over the world )
Its obvious irony for me (for now).

GENIUS!
Buddha is wearing a gas mask because he is so pure and this world is so contaminated.
