Today we have the pleasure of presenting Timrå IK's new keeper Joakim Lundström's new mask the upcoming season in the Swedish Elitserien. I created it a hot summer day, and when Joakim told me what he wanted on his mask I was so happy. Elvis from the Jailhouse Rock times, couldn't be more exciting to create! I love to create and paint designs in totally new styles and constantly try new ideas. And this design we really wanted to create in a totally new way.
Since we wanted an old school look of Elvis, I chose to use old school oil paint tech when I painted Elvis in the characteristic rock poses on each side. In this way we got a perefect profile of the mask and the same rocking and dancing feeling as in the Jailhouse film.
I also love to create two designs in one. With this I mean that when you see the mask from distance you see one design, in this with a dancing Elvis, and when you come closer you discover a new design and a world of details that give depth to the whole. In the white base I created paintings and portraits of Elvis in sketch-like style, like the famous Elvis postage stamp and his autograph.
