Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

The originals are certainly public domain but these are posted on flikr with CC-BY so thats cery liberal anyways. Most of these masks appear to be similar to a wierd thing in UK churches. Someone knowledgeable about history might tell me about non UK churches but there was a fad of putting "Green Men" around the tops of churches. I dont know if it was to ward off spirits or attract them... maybe ill head to wikipedia... Theres certainly loads and loads of references to them if you need more.
Edit -- yes here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_men and quite a few in the gallery there too.

Cool stuff. I was just thinking about looking for those carved things on the front of ships but green men can work just as well...ooo maybe some gargoyles from churches.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
