MASKS is a compilation of 90 masks that Michael Meehan created from collecting discarded debris from around the San Francisco Bay Area and creating mask.
Michael Meehan is a stand up comedian and an artist, but at his deepest self, he is a dumpster diver. He blames his parents, Valerie and Ed, depression era survivors, who didn’t throw too many things away. Michael also blames his wonderful childhood, where his father would throw out the TV (aka the boob tube) for years at a time, forcing Michael and his seven siblings to be creative miscreants. And the construction sites where he played on as a kid, stealing wood and nails to make tree houses. At school, where his numerous classmates competed to draw funny things instead of the lessons.
And of course, the Catholic church, where he got his first stage time as an altar boy. All of these factors are to blame and he could not be happier. Michael continues to perform on stage as well as paint and make things.
