Big badass Viking on Stefan Liv's new mask

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
I have painted Stefan Liv's masks for more than 11 years now, and it's always much fun to tell a story with his masks. Stefan likes different and funny ideas, so we have changed style and design many many times. And it has been many newspaper stories about Stefan's masks through the years...

With Stefan now in Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, a city known for Vikings, and as a goalie coming from the Viking country Sweden, what could be better than a Viking theme?! Exactly... I created the design as a stylish red graphic design with distinct lines, on one side that is... On the other side there's action! The mask is chopped apart by a big fat ax in the hands of a huge monster Viking... You could say he shows who's the boss... It's always fun to create different characters, and this one got super muscles!
