An example: Here's his design for the UMA t-shirt:

John was good enough to share this Hallowe'en memory with me by e-mail the other day:
"I remember Halloween 1970. We were living in Irvine, CA and my dad was in Vietnam. I had a Collegeville Hulk costume and I had cut my tongue by sticking it thru the mask mouth hole. I had grown out my Collegeville Frankenstein one and that was used as window decoration. I remember being worried about finding needles and razorblades in my candy but the worse thing I found were candied popcorn balls. And on the TV (one of those decorative wood cabinet models) were commercials hyping a Halloween night showing of 'Frankenstein 1970' starring Boris Karloff! I was really looking forward to watching it after filling up my pillowcase with neighborhood candy! I imagined Boris back as the monster busting up labs, waving off flames and snapping chains! Anyone who has seen it knows it's nothing like that. What a let down for a monster kid."
If you need some retro, stylish masks for Hallowe'en partying or trick-or-treating, John as designed some impressive ones. Recently, for Dynamic Design International, he debuted a ghoul mask, a mummy mask, and a witch mask. They can be seen at this page at his site, and there's a link below the images where you can order them.
Here's how they look on John and his daughter!

John's stuff is really great. You've been putting up a lot of interesting stuff lately, Max. The hand of glory entry in particular.
