Designing the next Deadmau5 head with Talenthouse
deadmau5 asked fans to design his next mask for him. The Toronto-based music producer known for performing in pumpkin-size head sculptures is teaming with Talenthouse to solicit designs for his next stage costume.
The winner of the contest will be handpicked by deadmau5. First prize includes an all expenses paid trip to Los Angeles to meet Deadmau5. Mask designers who garner the five highest vote tallies from the Talenthouse community win tickets to the closest Deadmaus5 gig.
The winning “Cheesehead”:
The Talenthouse winner for the deadmau5 mau5head design competition in 2011 was Lance Thackeray from East Yorkshire, UK, who won with his “Cheesehead” design. deadmau5 selected Thackeray’s design from over 2000 submissions, and the winning mau5head was featured on the cover of a Rolling Stone music issue the following year.
