Congrats to Team Sweden and keeper Johan Gustafsson to the Gold Medal in the Junior World Championship! Johan is keeper in the Swedish elite team Luleå HF and today we have the honor to present his gold medal winning Luleå mask.
I have been painting for Johan for many years, and he always wants a cool detail on his masks, the cool character Pingu. I love that! Johan wanted a very clean design with strong effects, and a light colored base.
I really love the Luleå bear, I remember when I painted it on Jarmo Mylly´s Luleå masks back on the 90´s. The bear fits perfect to paint in black and white, super old school. We placed it on the top of the mask, and the rest of the mask is painted just as if it´s totally ripped into pieces by a badass bear... A design that works both from distance, and when you come closer and discover all the details.
Welcome to check out Johan Gustafsson´s Luleå mask in the mask gallery on the site, on Facebook or in the App for iPhone, iPad and Android.
