The humanoid/kaijin figure of "Zinewolf" is a strange depiction of its creator, Justin "
Hateball" Jewett. As he states, the masked creature "is an inflated or elevated state [of me]." Beginning to "feel like the haunter was more popular [than the person]," Jewitt resolved to explore the 6½-inch tall "Zinewolf" more as "an identity platform," thus "instead of attempting to divorce myself [from it]" the artist resolved to make it known that this wasn't "the exclusive property of any one altered personality." In short, he created a new rendition: "Duck Wolf." Inspired by Disney's Donald Duck, given a surreal makeover, this new mask comes with some equally strange reasoning:
The shaky friend who nobody really knows. Nobody knows why he's content with position #2. Nobody knows why everybody wants to talk about the times he gets mad but nobody wants to talk about the times he's just a fun dude. The duck. He is charismatic.
Available now in the pictured unpainted black vinyl version, properly titled "Duck Wolf [Is Ghost Of]," the piece comes complete with a 20-page 'zine dedicated to the new iteration. Limited to 12 copies, these can be acquired now from
Hateball's online shop for $55 apiece.
