The Capitals Eagle logo comes to life…

Washington Capitals

On Michal Neuvirth´s latest Washington Capitals mask the Capitals Eagle logo comes to life…! The eagle is caught just between the transformation from the logo eagle look into a realistic look. The wings spread out over the mask and embraces it... it´s getting ready to fly.

It is so exciting to create a design in old school style mixed with top modern fx.

Just as usual the design is pumped with details and hidden messages… Just to name a few, the red and white squares on the top is a tribute to the Czech flag, and you will also find the Chech flag on the side as well on the back piece of the mask.

Just as on all Michal´s previous masks the Strekov Castle from his hometown is on the side of the mask.

I just love to paint in different styles from day to day and come up with new ideas. Love to be your painter Michal!

Besko's new mask in vintage style

Dallas Stars

Tyler Beskorowany's latest Dallas Stars mask is created in a true vintage style.

Tyler knew what he wanted. Lots of white with a clean graphic in black, all built on the Stars logos on the sides and the pads graphics on the top of the mask. All created in a very vintage style, and also created with a lot of marks and scratches and stuff, so the artwork looks heavily used. It is even rust coming out from the screws...

And just as usual the design is pumped with details. In one of the stars is the Dallas skyline, and in the other Stars logo you will find the Texas State Capitol… and hey there is bats flying out from the Capitol, just what it is so famous about.

Always so fun to be your painter Tyler! On the backplate the details continues and you will find more special details for Tyler.

To wake up from a nightmare... The Twilight Zone continues…

Columbus Blue Jackets

Steve Mason's latest mask is a direct continuation of his past Twilight Zone masks. In these designs we want to recreate the feeling you have when you wake up from a really bad nightmare…

This design continues in the same nasty style as Steve's latest designs, and here we dig even deeper in the unpleasant details to create a true horror mask.

On a distance it's a scary and stitched skull mask… and when you come closer you aren't sure what you're seeing, we just wanted to create a scary feeling. You will discover so much details all over the mask that tells a story of horror, you will find insects, morbid faces, skulls, a shark attack, dripping blood and so much more… and the shark attack continues on the backplate… And check out the skulls, they are a tribute to Steve's favorite TV show…

I just love to paint in different styles from day to day.

The design is pumped with all the Super FX, just what I love to do. It is so creative to be your painter Steve!

Watch out, Dr Frankenstein's dawg is on the loose…

Carolina Hurricanes

Holy smoke, Dr Frankenstein not only created a monster of human body parts, he also created a monster dawg… and it's on the loose… Cause his nickname is ChainChewer, and he just bit off the chain holding him… Nothing can stop this dude…!

And the dawg's buddy Frankenstein's monster is searching for him, you can see him walking there in the background… And if you look really close on the buttons on the dawg's neck you will see Frankenstein's monster's face...

As you can see I have a lot of fun when I work with Justin Peters. His nickname is Pete Dawg (just check out the collar around the dawg's neck :-) ) So Justin always wants a big badass cartoony dawg all over his mask. You can see his previous masks on my site as well.

You are welcome to check out the mask in the mask gallery, in the App or on our Facebook page.

Love to paint for you Justin!

Thank you all for your interest in my paintings.

Boone da King

Los Angeles Kings

Boone is here again, now as a King… On a distance it's a clean and classic design, and the closer you come the more you will discover, and you will find a lot of details related to a King and his Castle.

The more you look the more details you will find with a King's theme... On the chin his name on a Knight's flag, and medieval posters, and when you look really close you will see the mask is starting to fall apart, and there you will see a brick wall, from the King's Castle…

Me and Peter have been working together for so many years, it's always such a joy to paint for you Peter. On all Peter's masks Boone pops up, just check out some of his previous masks on my site. Boone is the mascot from Peter's school years.

On every mask we have done Boone in different styles and themes… and now with Los Angeles Kings, we made him of course as a King :-) Here he is in old school king outfit with a crown and a sword and stuff.

Peter wanted a design in a very clean and classic style, were Peter tribute the clean lines of the Los Angeles Kings uniform. With strong contrasts and a gentle use of colors it creates a strong design on a distance.

The design is pumped with Super FX such as Holographics FX, Metallic FX and 3D PaintTech and much more :-)

Beware Batman, Viktor Fasth transforms into Mr Bane Duck...

Anaheim Ducks

Beware, Mr Bane is on the ice… or more precise: Mr Bane Duck. If I were Batman I would hide… That crazy duck has put on a Bane-mask on his beak… Nothing can stop him.

With this Anaheim Ducks mask put on Viktor is transformed into a badass Duck, just as on his previous Ducks masks. On those masks the duck used an old school mask… Now he have removed the old school mask, and put on the cruelest mask ever, the Bane mask!

I wouldn't dare to meet this scary dude a dark night, and the electrified lightnings in the background are colored in Ducks orange…

I love to paint for you Viktor! It was with a big smile I created this one for you. It is pumped with details. I painted Viktor's first mask back in the 90's when Viktor was a kid, and I had my studio in my mom and dad's house :-) Time flies by…

Budaj Vintage

Montreal Canadiens

Budaj Vintage, yes that is the name of Peter Budaj's latest Montreal Canadiens mask. It is always such a joy to paint for Peter, we have been working together for so many years.

This latest mask is created in a very clean and classic style, were Peter tribute the Vintage look of the Montreal Canadiens. With strong contrasts and a gentle use if colors it creates a strong design on a distance. And when you come closer the design opens up and you will see all the details more and more, it creates a so called 2 in 1 design. It is so exciting to work with those effects.

The design is pumped with Super FX such as HoloGraphics FX, Metallic FX and 3D PaintTech and much more. And just as usual Ned pops up, this time on the backplate again :-)

Schneider's Vancouver Millionaires mask

Vancouver Canucks

It's with a great pleasure and honor I present Cory Schneider's Vancouver Millionaires mask. The mask is custom made for the Vancouver's Millionaires uniform.

It was so exciting to create this one for your Cory, truly special. I love to be your painter :-)

On a distance it's an old school classic styled design with the stripes in focus with the beautiful logo on the top, all created in maroon and cream colors.

Then the closer you come the more details you will discover, and the design transforms in front of your eyes to a tribute to the fantastic Millionaires team. On the left side is a tribute to the legendary Millionaire goalie Hughie Lehman, and on the other side is the whole team in old school vintage style.

And not only that, the mask is also a tribute to the fantastic native art of Canada. I just love that art style. Just as on Cory's previous Canucks mask I incorporated orcas in Canadian native art style, and they continue on this mask.

Thanks Cory for let me be a little part of this amazing project and have the pleasure to create this design for you.

The hurricane is wilder than ever, but the fishermen just keep on doing their job, cooler than ever

Carolina Hurricanes

On Carolina Hurricanes keeper Dan Ellis' brand new mask the hurricane storm is wilder than ever, it's total chaos all over the mask! It is blowing so much so even the Carolina graphics on the top of the mask is blowing off!

And just as on Dans previous mask the old Fishermen are cooler than ever and do not care about the storm what so ever, they're just keep on doing their job, just as a goalie in the wildest storm. It's a perfect theme for a goalie.

Dan always has such amazing ideas for his new masks, it's such a joy to create your masks Dan! We have been working together for many years and I remember very well every mask we have created :-)

Just as usual the design is totally loaded with details to be discovered all over the mask, both me and Dan loves a lot of details and special fx :-)
