Sunny days in Florida...

Sunny Days in Florida...
Yes, that's how I named Caleb Rudnicki's new mask design. Caleb lives in Florida and plays with Florida Panthers' junior team, so he wanted a design with cool panthers in Florida... Beach, sun, surfers...the whole concept... He also wanted to honor his goalie coach with the number 35.

With all these ingredients I got started and had a great time. Check out the mask on the goalie panther on one of the sides!I love to paint much details, and I worked a lot with 3-D effects and metallic glitter.

Check out the mask in DAVEART MaskGallery and on our Facebook page.

Wennman's award-winning photos of Obama becomes a mask design

Obama
Today we have the joy to present a very unique mask design that was very exciting to create. Magnus Wennman is a star photographer at Aftonbladet, the biggest newspaper in the Nordic countries. Magnus attended the presidential election in USA 2008 and took photos of the coming winner and American president Barack Obama. Magnus photos were later awarded, and these photos he wanted to perpetuate on his mask.

Magnus sent the photos to me, and I was really honored to get the assignment to create the design that was so important for him. To work with a number of selected photos in special style was very interesting and creative.

Tordjman's idols on his Phoenix mask

Phoenix Coyotes
Josh told me that he wanted his idols on the mask, the basketball players #9 and #21 in San Antonio, Mr Parker and Mr Duncan, together with the rap guy Lil Wayne... I got started and created an exciting layout with the basketball players on one side, close up motifs mixed with silhouettes to get a nice depth. All created in the dark red tints of the Phoenix Coyotes.

On the other side I created a motif with Lil Wayne in sepia look with a touch of PHX red, goes perfect with Phoenix's colors...
