Kostenko's new Caps mask

Washington Capitals

Today we have the pleasure to present Sergey Kostenko's new Caps mask. It was so fun to create this custom design in a mix of old school and top modern effects, and lots and lots of details, just what I love to do. :-)

From a distance it's a classic layout, and when you come closer you discover it's a tribute to his hometown on one side and a tribute to his new homeland on the other side, and so much more.

You're all welcome to check it out in the mask gallery, our app and social networks.

Nilsson's favorite movie...

New York Islanders

Anders Nilsson has a favorite movie, and he wanted that on his mask. The movie is The Escape from Alcatraz, and I love that movie too, I've seen it so many times. I started to brainstorm how to build the design, and Anders gave me thumbs up directly and I started to paint. Clint Eastwood on the side carving out from the wall, and in the background you see the silhouette of the island giving cool depth to the design.

The rest of the design is built on Islanders' cool logos and colors, with strong colors, giving the design a sweet old school feeling. And just as usual the design is pumped with details, most of them you need to see the mask live to discover.

Love to work with you Anders!

You're all welcome to check out Anders' Islanders mask in the mask gallery.

Cool fishermen stay cool in the Hurricane storm, but watch out for the submarine!

Carolina Hurricanes

Today we have the pleasure to present my buddy Dan Ellis' new Carolina Hurricanes mask... Dan is always so fun to work with, he sends me so cool drawings, I've told him he can start work here after his goalie carrier. :-) I am so proud to be your painter Dan!

Dan had the coolest idea... he wanted something totally new for a Carolina mask... something describing the unique working situation the goalie has... so how about cool old fishermen (!) working in the wildest hurricane storm, just keeping their heads cool, even though it's the worst storm around them. That is a perfect connection to a goalie's unique working situation!

I love to work with a lot of details, so the whole design is built on that, and the closer you look the more you will discover. :-) The fishermen just keep on working in the middle of the wildest storm. But hey...it seems to be trouble...a big submarine is coming! But the fisherman stays cool anyway... :-)

Welcome to check out Dan's new Hurricanes mask, you will find it all over, here on the site, on the social networks Twitter and Facebook, and of course in the DAVEART App...! Thank you all for visiting my site and checking out my paintings! Take care.

Minnesota Wild

Today we have the pleasure to present Darcy Kuemper's new Minnesota mask.

This is a so called 2 in 1 design built on the awesome logos of Minnesota Wild. It's pumped with it all, from a distance it's a crisp look, and when you come closer the action kicks in..:-) Behind the clean look you will join a wild joyride of detail work, with effects like Holographix FX, 3-D PaintTech, Metallic FX, GhostSmoke and much much more.

Welcome to check out Kuemper's Minnesota mask in the gallery, on Facebook or in the DAVEART App. :-)

Jason pays tribute to his rock idols

New York Rangerss

Jason Missiaen loves rock, and in particular the rock of Jack White and Matt Bellamy... On each side of the mask you will find a subtle tribute to them created just like old school rock t-shirts. Around that we have built a clean and classic team connected design that breathes New York Rangers. 

This design has a very different design style than Jason's previous mask, it is so exciting to change style from mask to mask. Love to work with you Jason!

Just as usual the mask is fully pumped with detail work, and special effects like Holographix FX, Metallic FX, GhostSmoke, 3D PaintTech and much much more...

Check out the mask in the mask gallery! Thank you all!

Green power in Ö-vik...

Modo Hockey

With such a cool name as Starkbaum, the theme on Bernhard Starkbaum's Modo mask was given... Bernhard knew exactly what he wanted and I started to sketch...

Even if the whole mask is made of strong metal, nothing can hold back the power of this green creature. The mask is totally torn into pieces and this dude is coming out...

Just as usual the mask is packed with details to be discovered all over the artwork, just what I love to do.

It was so awesome to create this one for you Bernhard!

You're all welcome to check out Bernhard Starkbaum's mask in the mask gallery! Thank you all for your interest in my paint.

Win Total Recall on Blu-ray!

Total Recall

Ok everyone, time for a new cool movie contest together with my friends at Sony! Answer the question and you may win "Total Recall" on Blu-ray...

Contest question: What actor/actress mentioned below starred in a box office success movie back in 2001?

E-mail the answer to contest@daveart.com before December 30 and you may be one of the five happy winners!

Prepare for non-stop excitement and pulse-pounding thrills in this “smart, sexy and action-packed” (Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood) action thriller. Colin Farrell stars as Douglas Quaid, a factory worker who visits Rekall, a revolutionary company that can turn his superspy fantasies into real memories. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, the line between fantasy and reality blurs as Quaid becomes a man on the run and the fate of his world hangs in the balance. Costarring Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston, Total Recall is bursting with mind-blowing action sequences and spectacular visual effects, the ultimate high-energy thrill-ride!

McElhinney’s new mask is a storyteller-design

Frölunda Indians

At a first glance of Curtis McElhinney’s new Columbus mask it’s a design built on the team logos with crisp and clean colors. Yes it is, but when you take a second look you will find it’s a storyteller-design, and you will discover so much more. The whole design is built on Curtis’ biggest interest, fly fishing.

So welcome to a discovery ride into the fly fishing world. On the sides the base color is created as the skin of a trout, and the blue is also transformed into underwater scenery with special effects. You will also find mayflies built into the design, and some details you can only see when you see it live.

It’s always such a joy to come up with new ideas and try them in new layouts and effects, always think outside the box.

Curtis, I can’t tell you enough how fun it was to create this new mask look.

You’re all welcome to check it out, thank you for your interest.

Hetenyi’s new Admirals mask creates a storm

Milwaukee Admirals

Today we have the pleasure to present Zoltan Hetenyi’s new Milwaukee Admirals mask. I love to always try new design ideas and effects, never stand still. This design is created as a so called 2 in 1 design. From a distance it’s a clean design inspired by the team uniform, but the closer you get the more details you will discover. All the details create a very unique rough look, like the feeling of a storm at sea, like a ship lost at the sea in the storm and fog.

Just as usual the design is action pumped with lots and lots of details and special effects, and some stuff and effects you can only see when you see the mask live.

Zoltan, I had so fun when I painted this design for you!

Check out the mask in the gallery. Thank you all for your interest in my paint.

Vito on Svedberg’s new mask

Boston Bruins

I am very happy to present my buddy Niklas Svedberg’s new Bruins mask. I feel like a very lucky dude, to every day wake up and do what I love the most, to paint.

Those of you who have seen Niklas’ previous masks will know what he wants on his masks... I’ve done many masks for Niklas, and he has a favorite movie always showing up on his mask’s... But this time painted I it in a new way. I love to paint in new styles and always come up with new ideas. Every mask is always 100% unique.

The design is created as an old school design with the awesome Bruins logos and colors, and in the Bruins layout I created an artwork with Mr Vito. And the closer you look the more details you will discover, and the design transforms in front of your eyes. Just as usual the design is pimped with so much details and special effects.

Thanks Niklas, I had so fun when I painted this one for you. :-)

Check out the mask in the mask gallery. Thank you all for your interest.

Svensson’s Skellefteå mask

Skellefteå AIK

Today we have have the pleasure to present Markus Svensson’s new Skellefteå mask. It is always so special to paint for goalies that I have painted for since they were kids, makes me feel old... :-) I remember when Markus was a kid and came to my studio, he followed the big boys from his team when they were about to get their masks done by me. Now Markus himself is a big boy, playing in the Swedish elite league.

Back then Markus wanted very old school designs, and it is the same now. Very crisp and clear, and very retro. The whole design is based on Skellefteå’s cool uniform with the awesome sun from the logo, so classic. The name of the design is Sunrise, and what could be a better name for a mask. The deer skull on the top is a tribute from Markus to his new hometown Skellefteå.

And just as usual the design is pumped with details all over to be discovered when you come closer and closer, there’s a message behind every detail.

I love to paint for you Markus!

Check it out in the mask gallery. Thank you all for your interest in my paint!

Scrivens goes old school

Toronto Maple Leafs

Today we have the pleasure to present Ben Scrivens’ new Maple Leafs mask. It was such a pleasure to create this one. Ben wanted to go total old school and had this awesome idea in mind. The white leaf in the middle and leaf lines around it almost like water rings.

It can´t be more old school than this, I took white and blue colors and just got started.

A cat is moving to America

Milwaukee Admirals

Magnus Hellberg is from the Swedish town Uppsala. In Uppsala a very famous cat is living, maybe you have seen the cat in his books... This cat appeared on Magnus previous mask in Frölunda and now when Magnus moves to America, for sure his cat buddy also comes along and pops up on his old school created Milwaukee Admirals mask.

Before I created this mask Magnus came to my shop and we sat down and brainstormed together, discussed ideas and all kind of stuff... This is one of my favorite parts of the design work, throwing ideas back and forth, it´s very creative.

Always so fun to work with you Magnus!

Just as usual the mask is fully pumped with detail work, and special effects like Holographix FX, Metallic FX, GhostSmoke, 3D PaintTech and much much more...

Kevin Poulin’s new artwork built in silver

New York Islanders

Today we have the pleasure to present the New York Islanders keeper Kevin Poulin’s new mask painting. Kevin contacted me early about his new mask look, he wanted something really new...a totally unique look. He was sure what kind of theme he wanted. I spent the summer brainstorming and sketching. A design plan was set.

I used lots and lots of silver in the design, the whole upper part is silver tones, and together with the Islanders orange tones at the bottom it creates a totally unique look from a distance. And when you come closer you discover a new look in front of your eyes and a new design is created in silver and with a lot of speed.

Love to be your painter Kevin!

Check out Kevin’s Islanders mask in the mask gallery and on Facebook. Thank you all for your interest in my paint.

Waterfun with Wolfy and Orca

Vancouver Canucks

Watch out for the water splash...here it’s big time action. Wolfy jumps into the water and starts to waterski with his buddy Orca... :-) That is what we call team work.

I’m very happy to present Eddie Läck’s new Vancouver Canucks mask, with a strong Chicago Wolves connection...

On this new mask we wanted to do something really funny... Eddie asked his fans on Twitter, how about a cartoony wolf in the design. Sounded awesome, I started drawing and out from my drawings jumped Wolfy, and he jumped out into the Canucks landscape, on his waterskis run by his buddy Orca. It all created a cool mix of Canucks and Chicago Wolves. And as always it’s pumped with details to discover all over the mask.

I have been working for many years with Eddy Läck and it’s always so exciting, so proud to work with you Eddie!

You’re all welcome to check out the mask in the mask gallery.

New sweet movie contest for Christmas

Arthur Christmas

Time for a new sweet movie contest together with my friends at Sony! Answer the question and you may win "Arthur Christmas" on Blu-ray...

Contest question: For what Swedish team did Henrik Lundqvist play before he went to the Rangers?

E-mail the answer to contest@daveart.com before November 30 and you may be one of the five happy winners!

The film tackles the question of how Santa delivers all his presents in one night. When Santa’s elves and their high-tech system of present delivery forgets to deliver one present to a young girl in England, Arthur embarks on a mission to safely deliver her pretty pink bicycle. Arthur decides it’s up to him not to disappoint this little girl and ensure that she will still believe in the magic of Christmas, even if it means conquering some of his own fears. With Arthur’s determination and Grand-Santa’s quirky cynicism, the operation is bound to be an adventurous one.

Henrik Lundqvist is ready

Frölunda Indians

Today we have the pleasure to present a very special creation… Henrik Lundqvist gave me a call a while ago, he wanted a new mask in case he would start playing for Frölunda during the lockout...

Together we brainstormed and this design was crystallized in front of our eyes. A totally unique combo of Frölunda Indians and New York Rangers. The Statute of Liberty just as usual on Henrik’s masks, this time created in Frölunda colors.

And above it all, the Frölunda Indian is watching with his powerful eyes. The indian on the top is a tribute to Henrik’s previous and incredibly popular and classic Frölunda mask we created together back in 2004 with the green base and the indian in gold.

And just as usual the design is loaded with bling bling and insane detail work to discover the closer you get. The lightning are a sure thing, me and Henrik have always included lighting in all his designs since 1997.

So proud to be your painter Henrik!

You’re all welcome to check out Henrik Lundqvist’s Frölunda Indians mask in our gallery, on our Facebook and in the App.

Washington Capitals

Today we have the honor to present the new Washington Capitals artwork for Braden Holtby. When we created this one me and Braden brainstormed a lot about new cool ideas, we wanted it to breathe Washington DC in a classic way.

Soon this design idea crystallized. With this artwork we travel back in time and create an old school feeling all over the mask, and it is all based on the team logos and hidden details.

From a distance it is a retro design in calm harmony...and when you come closer you will discover a treasure map of detail work, and in the white base you find what has named the artwork, the Capitol building of Washington.

Watch out, it’s a man eating shark out there on the ice…

San Jose Sharks

Beware, the Doctor Hannibal Shark is here!

With this mask on, San Jose Sharks keeper Harri Säteri turns into a very badass shark. He is so bad, with such a great appetite for flesh, so the only way to leash him is with a certain cannibal mask, borrowed from a certain Doctor...

I can’t tell you enough how fun it was to create this creature for you Harri! I am so proud to be your painter. I love to wake up every morning and create new unique paintings in new styles.

You’re all welcome to check out the mask in my mask gallery, the closer you get the more crazy details you will discover. :-)

Time for a new cool movie contest together with my friends at Sony! Answer the question and you may win "The Amazing Spider-Man" on Blu-ray...

Contest question: Who's the creator of Spider-Man? He's also one of my idols and you can see him signing one of my paintings below...

E-mail the answer to contest@daveart.com before November 20 and you may be one of the five happy winners!

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

A mask from a sandstorm...

Phoenix Coyotes

And today we have the pleasure to present yet another mask for Phoenix Coyotes. :-) It´s so fun to paint for many goalies in the same team, to paint and create in totally different styles and themes and make every mask artwork 100% unique. This mask comes directly from a sandstorm in the Arizona desert…!

This mask is for Mike Lee, I love to be your painter Mike.

The mask is created as an old school design, with so much detail work... And to give it a cool connection to Arizona we created it with effects to make it look like it has been in the wildest Arizona sandstorm ever... Damages and scratches all over the mask create cool effects and a unique look.

And just as usual when you look close at the mask the real action kicks in and you see all the effects used…like 3-D PaintTech, Holographix FX, Metallic FX, GhostSmoke and mucho mucho more… :-)

Take a look at Mike Lee's Coyotes mask in the mask gallery and on Facebook. Thanks for your interest in my paint!

Wile E Pirate is here...!

Phoenix Coyotes

Watch out...seems like Wile E Coyote...oops sorry, I mean Wile E Pirate is ready for some action. Players, beware...!

The whole mask is made of sandstone, and on the right side it looks kind of calm and nice... But on the other side it is action to the max... Wile E Pirate is breaking through the Arizona sandstone wall with his pirate sword and hook... Stuff is flying all over. Beware all you players out there, we do not recommend getting close to him... :-)

Louis Domingue thought it could be a cool idea to dress up a coyote as a pirate on the mask, to mix the teams Coyotes and Portland Pirates... I loved the idea and setup a plan, I got green light from Louis and I started to work.

Louis, it was such awesome feeling to create this design for you and pump it with details to discover all over the mask.

Welcome to check out Domingue’s Coyotes mask, if you dare... Thanks!

Johnson's mask pays tribute to the wildlife of Arizona

Phoenix Coyotes

Today we present one more Phoenix Coyotes mask, and this one is for Chad Johnson. Love to work with you Chad!

Chad wanted a classic design in retro feeling, and from a distance it looks just like that. But the closer you come the more you will discover, and the mask transforms in front of your eyes into a mask that pays tribute to the fantastic wildlife of Arizona.

When I visited Arizona I was so incredibly fascinated by the cool wildlife, and I just couldn't stop thinking of those rattlesnakes, we don't have those here in the forests in Sweden... :-) When you look closely all over the mask you will discover that the white base is created as the skin of a rattlesnake... And not only that, you also find paw prints of a coyote running all over the mask, and so much more...

Check out Chad's Phoenix Coyotes mask in the mask gallery, on Facebook or in our App. Thank you all for your interest in my paint!

I made some test drawings and the plan to mix the old school style with top modern effects and layout worked out great. I started the work with great enthusiasm.

From a distance there’s a crisp look, and when you come closer the action kicks in. :-) Behind the clean look you will join a joyride of detail work, with effects like Holographix FX, Metallic FX, GhostSmoke and much much more.

Welcome to check out Mark Visentin’s Phoenix mask in the mask gallery, in the DAVEART App and on the social networks. :-) I’m very happy to work with you Mark!

The design is a time machine where we go back in time with the crisp look and strong contrasts, Manhattan feeling all over the artwork... And when you come closer to the mask you enter the rollercoaster ride of detail work...!

Welcome to check out the new mask in the gallery or all over in the social networks. Welcome to join us!

Vintage art of Mezin

Traktor Chelyabinsk

Traktor Vintage is the name of Andrei Mezin’s new KHL mask for his new team Traktor Chelyabinsk. It was very interesting to create this new design for you Andrei. An old school design based on the logos, created in all the latest DAVEART features...

But it is all created in such a cool vintage style so it all looks like the mask is old and used and worn out...scratches all over the mask create cool effects on a brand new mask... The mask is so old and so used that you even find rust runs from the screws all over...

Welcome to check out Andrei Mezin’s detail-filled vintage mask art in the mask gallery. Thank you all for your interest.

Fransson goes old school

Rögle BK

Today we have the honor to present Jonas Fransson´s new Rögle mask. I have been working with Jonas for many, many years, more than a decade... I remember the very first mask we did together back in the 90´s. Jonas came to my mom and dad´s house with his mom and dad, yes we were young back then... :-) The design was a crazy living egg splash with big eyes...lots of action...

On this new mask there’s no crazy eggs...Now we went old school with Rögle´s beautiful logos. A crisp and clean design when you look at the mask from a distance, but when you come closer you will go on a joyride of extreme detail work all over the mask. You will find DAVEART Holographix FX, DAVEART 3-D Paint Tech, Metallic FX by DAVEART, DAVEART GhostSmoke, DAVEART Vintage Tech and much more...

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

Jack’s mask is a theme of Jack

Dallas Stars

Today we have the pleasure to present Jack Campbell’s new Dallas Stars mask. This new mask is very special, it is a mix of Dallas Stars and Jack’s name, in a new way... :-)

Jack’s trainer Brian is an awesome artist and he sent me some of his drawings, I just followed his drawings and the design was created... :-)

The whole mask is a theme of Jack, and you find it all in this extremely detailed design. The Jack card is jumping up on the side, of course holding a gun since we are in cowboy land... The top of the mask is transformed into a Black Jack table...and the poker chips in Dallas green and Jack’s number are flying all over the mask...

The whole mask is an adventure ride of details connected to Jack, check out the Dallas logo on the side, in that logo you find the Team USA logo and also the Texas State Capitol, and so much other details all over...on the backplate the ride continues with some Campbell soup... :-)

Welcome to check out Jack Campbell’s Dallas Stars mask here in the mask gallery.

Jack, I love to paint for you! :-)

Thank you all for your interest.

To the Fantastic Fans of Flyers

Philadelphia Flyers

To the Fantastic Fans of Flyers, yes that is the name of Michael Leighton's new Philadelphia Flyers mask. Me and Michael have been working together for many years and it is always such a pleasure to create his new designs.

For this new mask Michael had an awesome idea, he wanted the mask to be a tribute to the fantastic fans of Flyers, and especially the cool guys in orange body suits. So they are popping up on the sides waving with Philly flags, and check out in the Flyers logo on each side, there you find the whole arena filled with the fantastic fans! As usual I love to pump the design with so much details and all kind of effects to discover.

The clean and graphic base design is a story of its own, I have so many memories from it. I came up with the design back in 1993... I remember it very well, later on that evening we went to cinema to watch Jurassic Park! On the train from Sävsjö to Nässjö, on the way to school, I was just as usual thinking out new mask design ideas. I always save all my sketches and design ideas, and now, 19 years later, I could use this design cause it matched Michael’s ideas perfectly... :-)

Thank you all for your interest in my paint!

Hutchinson got a new look

Boston Bruins

Today we have the pleasure to present the new Boston Bruins mask artwork for Michael Hutchinson. Welcome to us Michael, I am proud to be your artist. :-)

It was such a joy to create Bruins Origin, it's the name of this custom made artwork. I love to think outside the box and every day come up with new design solutions. Every mask I create is 100% unique.

Michael contacted me early and wanted me to create his new mask look. I was very honored and I started to brainstorm new ideas at once.

The design is all built on the awesome Bruins logos and uniform and the whole design is created as a so called 2 in 1 design. From a distance it is a clear old school vintage design with strong contrasts, but the closer you come the more and more details you will discover, and the mask enters a new dimension.

And when you come really close you discover extreme detail work with vintage artworks, 3-D FX, metallic FX, Holographix FX, GhostSmoke and much more. I just love to create details and designs within designs.

Welcome to check out Hutchinson's new Boston Bruins mask, you will find it all over, in the mask gallery on the site, on social networks Facebook and Flickr and in the DAVEART App...! Thank you all for visiting my site and checking out my paintings! Take care.

Stars’n stripes on Anderson’s new lid

Washington Capitals

The name of Washingtons Capitals’ Brandon Anderson’s new mask artwork is DC, and that is an obvious name because it’s a tribute to the city of Washington. With a totally unique layout we used the Capitals logos and mixed them with stars’n stripes, and so much details, and the result is a totally new look.

From a distance it’s a razor sharp design, and the closer you come to the mask it transforms into a totally new experience in front of your eyes.

Welcome to check out Brandon Anderson’s Capitals mask in the mask gallery and on all the other places like Facebook and the App... :-)

Brandon, I’m proud to be your painter. :-)

Thank you all for checking it out and for your interest in my paint, it’s a dream come true for me.

Jeremy’s mask is a time machine

Nashville Predators

Today we have the pleasure to present a time machine mask. We built Jeremy Smith’s new Nashville Predators design inspired by the very first mask designs from the 70s with the very bold, crisp and old school looks, all built on the team logos and clear colors, and we mixed that with the modern and cool Predators logos.

I made some test sketches and the plan worked perfect and I went to work. From a distance it is a crisp look, but when you come closer the action kicks in... :-)

Behind the clean look you will find a treasure map of detail work, with effects like Holographix FX, Metallic FX, GhostSmoke and much more. I can tell you I had fun when I painted this one. :-) Love to work with you Jeremy!
