Optimus Reim is here

Toronto Maple Leafs

I can tell you this, I had fun when I created and painted this one... :-) It is a dream of fun to be the painter of James Reimer of the Toronto Maple Leafs. James had a vision of how we could focus on his nickname Optimus Reim, and do a design around that. I came up with this concept and James immediately gave me green light to start.

The mask made of ice is breaking into pieces as Optimus Reim is driving out as an all blue truck from the side of the mask, and you also see him as an all blue Optimus Reim Transformer... The Toronto logo in metal is fastened with screws onto the ice....! It was also much fun to paint the Optimus Reim logo on the side.

I love to paint details, and here I really went crazy on details, added with maximum action and 3-D effects as well as Metallic FX by DAVEART, and more... :-)

Welcome to check out James Reimer´s new Toronto Maple Leafs mask design in the mask gallery. Thank you.

Leggio tells his story

Rochester Americans

Welcome David Leggio to our team. It was so fun to create and paint Leggio´s new Rochester Americans mask. The design is an old school created design with lots and lots of details, a design that tells David´s story. At a first look it gives a clean look, and when you come closer a new world of details and storytelling opens up.

The design is a mix of Rochester Americans and Buffalo Sabres. One side is dedicated to Buffalo where David is from, with the Buffalo coin and other important details from when David grew up. You also find the TV announcer Rick Jeanneret there, and much more. The other side of the mask is dedicated to his team Americans, and also the American army, and especially the father to one of David´s friends.

Welcome to check out the mask in the mask gallery. Thank you for your interest.

Lehner´s success masks continue

Ottawa Senators

Today we have the pleasure to present Robin Lehner's latest Ottawa Senators mask. The new mask goes in the same style as his previous success mask. I got so incredibly many e-mails after that mask. Robin and I wanted to do something totally new. I love to always come up with new ideas and explore new styles, always think outside the box, never stand still. Together we created this silverish stone inspired look with violent cracks, mixed with hard vintage style and celtic feelings. All mixed with cool Ottawa graphics, especially the O logo to connect with the 3rd jersey.

From a distance you have one look, and when you come closer a new world of cool details opens up and a second very unique design is created in front of your eyes.

Welcome to check it out in the mask gallery. Thank you.

Vokoun´s latest lid

Washington Capitals

Today we have the pleasure to present the Washington Capitals keeper Tomas Vokoun´s latest mask artwork. I am very proud to paint for Tomas and he was so satisfied with his earlier masks that I created for him so he wanted this one to be a continuation of the previous designs.

Same basic lines and details, from a distance it is a classic almost retro design with the Caps wings spreading out and strong contrasts and clear colors. But when you come closer it enters a new dimension of extreme detail work. Again the theme of the mask is The President Of the United States. Here and there all over the mask you will discover small artworks with the President and other details with that theme. I came up with the design idea this summer when I walked around our local lake, I created every detail in my mind. When I told Tomas my design ideas he immediately gave me green light to start.

Watch out Captain Ahab

Connecticut Whale

Watch out Captain Ahab, these big bad whales are buddies with Moby Dick, and they look like they are ready to eat you up... Yes, this mask is named after the crazy Captain Ahab from Herman Melville´s classic book Moby Dick. I had so fun when I painted this Whales mask for Jerry Kuhn last year. I love the challenge of painting a clean and crisp design completely built on the team logos, but create it into something else, a design that tells a story, with lots and lots of details and 3-D effects to discover when you come closer.
