Got a crazy, fun job due to my facepainting!

Face painting is my side business, which I hope to slowly build into my main business. But what I've really done for years is I'm a mass market Halloween costume designer for manufacturers that sell to places like Target, Party City, Spencers, all the Halloween stores and the internet stores.
So I have this client, who is a costume manufacturer. Well, he and his brother branched out and started doing these weird, different looking masks that really go right against your face, like it's your skin. He just emailed me and asked me to design and paint the "first sample" for 12 new masks!!! It's going to be such a fun job and I can take all the time I want. I have to use acrylics, but the facepainting techniques is what I'll use, only elaborate designs. He's sending me 12 skin colored "blanks". How fun is THAT, lol? I know I got it because of the facepainting!
