Before the season Manchester Monarchs arranged a contest where the fans got to draw a mask design for Jeff Zatkoff to wear during the season. The winner was Nathaniel Goodwin, and I got the honor to paint the mask after Nathaniel's drawing.
It is an old school design with the logo on the top, and purple lion statues in stone, created as old school drawings on each side where they are sitting guarding their castle. A fun detail is the spears that are painted as extensions of the wire bars.
And as always the design is a discovery in extreme detail work. On the chin a classic pennant is flying in the wind and in the background you see mountains on one side and palm scenes as a greeting from LA on the other.
Now you can also win this mask that Jeff has worn every game during the season, go to the Monarchs website for more info.
