Being fan of the Halloween film series, I took an in costume self portrait. In the photo I am wearing the new 2018 version of the infamous Michael Myers mask by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trickortreatstudios.com\/halloween-2018-michael-myers-mask.html\">Trick or Treat Studios<\/a> that I hand repainted myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carlericporter.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/GHH_0562_RTweb-1.jpg?resize=271%2C339\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2540\" width=\"271\" height=\"339\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My photo was meant for fun and was intended to mimic the look of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fangoria.com\">Fangoria<\/a> cover image taken by photographer Dan Winters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have seen countless people re-post the image all over the place. Many have properly credited me, but there are a few who did not. I even found one claiming they themselves had taken the photo. I guess what they don&#8217;t realize is that my photo is actually heavily watermarked all over in strategic places. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it that hard to give credit where credit is due? I mean sure, its just fan art. Its a popular character and with the new film its popularity is at a high right now so I guess I shouldn&#8217;t be surprised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I find amusing is that some instagram accounts that re-posted it got more likes than the image on my own account. I am glad people enjoy and like the image though. So that&#8217;s something. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[119,39,35,120],"class_list":["post-2639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-dark-art","tag-halloween","tag-horror","tag-michael-myers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
