Landon Meier makes terrifyingly realistic "Hyperflesh" masks inspired by topical, pop culture figures and characters. The more popular masks portray Donald Trump, Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, a crying baby, Mike Tyson, and Walter White from "Breaking Bad". The masks are made of either latex or silicone and take weeks to manufacture. Meier detailed work starts with digitalized face imaging and ends with hands-on painting and implanting hair.

"I wanted to create a surreal experience for the innocent bystander who sees somebody wearing these masks," Meier says.
