Incorporating Dimension into paintings

One artist friend who is doing very interesting work incorporating three dimensional masks into his paintings is Don Michael Jr. His creations are so engaging, he has developed a technique for creating masks that are then integrated seamlessly into his paintings. His work may be viewed  and read about on his blog site: http://www.donmichaeljr.com/blog/.
His series of paintings can also be seen on a music video called Manic Twilight, which can be viewed on You Tube, which exhibits many of his mask paintings. The link for that is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BR5rI9kgv4 . Take a look at his work!
