Next up in Lundqvist´s TV series The Mask; John McEnroe 🎾📺

New York Rangers

It has been a very exciting winter making the TV series "The Mask" with Henrik Lundqvist. A dream project for sure!📺

In the second episode John McEnroe was the guest🎾🎾. Me and Henrik brainstormed how to create this rock´n roll piece! We came up with a plan pretty quick...🎨

Here is more about this mask from www.msg.com :

“Vintage Rock” was the theme of Henrik’s mask with the legendary tennis champion, John McEnroe. Both Henrik and McEnroe wanted to capture the rock star energy of the 80’s visually on the mask, while also combining both their hobbies.

The mask features a tribute to late great rockers such as Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton, displaying the duos shared love of music. The mask also features a skull designed by McEnroe which boasts the classic headband and big hair he was famous for in the 80’s.

The chin piece on the mask is a nod to both Henrik and McEnroe’s professions; featuring a tennis racket and goalie stick. The mask also has a tribute to New York, with a picture of the skyline and the saying, “Long Live The Rock,” highlighting the love that these two have for their city and classic rock-n-roll.

Henrik surprised McEnroe by adding McEnroe’s signature saying, “You Can’t Be Serious,” to the front piece. This mask highlights both men’s love of music, their hometown, and professions, while maintaining a vintage rock-n-roll feel.

Bishop glows in the dark…💡⚡️

Tampa Bay Lightning

Ben Bishop´s new Tampa mask artwork is so loaded with lightnings ⚡️⚡️⚡️ so it glows in the dark💡! That is what we call a true Tampa Bay Lightning mask… ⚡️👊

Me and Ben came up with the idea to create a Tampa mask loaded with lightnings, shining as it is made of neon, inspired by the classic movie Tron…. I made some sketches ✏️ and a design was emerged in front of our eyes. I started to create and paint🎨.

I love the challenge to always come up with new design ideas, never stand still, always move forward🚗💨

Thanks Ben, I love to be your mask creator!🚀

The first mask in Lundqvist´s TV series The Mask, with Mario Batali 📺🍅

New York Rangers

It has been a very exciting winter making the TV series "The Mask" with Henrik Lundqvist. A dream project for sure! 😃 📺

Here is the first mask I painted for Henrik Lundqvist and Mario Batali.🎨 Me and Henrik talked a lot about the design how to create it and connect all the pieces, it´s not so often I include pizzas and tomotoes 🍅 on a mask…😃 And the cartoon version of Mario on the side we made with a little funny twist, his look is a little bit inspired by another Mario guy from Italy🇮🇹... :😃

You are welcome to check out the mask in the mask gallery or on our Facebook page. You´ll also find a lot of behind the scene photos on our Instagram, and you´re welcome to follow us also on Twitter.

Here is more about this mask from www.msg.com :

“If there is anything I love more than hockey, it’s good food,” Henrik said before designing a mask with celebrity chef, Mario Batali. Both men are passionate about food and New York, so bringing that passion into the mask was simple.

Batali eagerly pitched his design idea: an image of him riding his Vespa in his signature orange Crocs, down the hill of Mount Vesuvius while holding a basket of tomatoes, with lava flowing behind him. The cartoon nature of the mask reflects Batali’s energy and excitement when it comes to food as well as his attitude toward life.

Batali also wanted to include one of his great loves, pizza, along with the saying “Pizza is truth.” Henrik proposed juxtaposing the Italian side of the mask with a New York side to reflect Batali and his hometown.

The mask features classic New York imagery such as the Little Italy’s cross streets of Mott and Grand, the Brooklyn Bridge on a starry night, and Batali’s own restaurant, Babbo. This mask highlights the love that Batali and Henrik have for food and New York in a creative and passionate way.

Copley´s new Caps mask is interactive…💻

Washington Capitals

It is with a great pleasure we present Pheonix Copley´s latest Washington Capitals mask art. 👊

And this artwork is truly something new… it is an interactive mask artwork💻.. When you look at the paintings on the sides through a camera 📷and invert the colors... it transforms in front of your eyes and the eagles emerges… We have added extra inverted photos to show…. It was very exciting to paint everything in opposite colors… 😬🎨

The mask truly breath Washington Capitals to 100% and on a distance the design is in total harmony with the Capitals uniform.

Then when you come closer to the mask it opens up like a storybook and becomes the book of Pheonix Copley📚. I love to create designs which also are a storyteller📖. The design pays tribute to Pheonix´s home state with the mountains🗻 of Alaska on the top of the mask and the candy canes on the chin🍭. Among more details you will find a tribute to Hershey Bears🐻 on each sides and much more.

As usual the design is loaded with DAVEART Trademark Super FX💎 all over the mask, waiting to be discovered.

Niemi´s Stadium mask...😃

San Jose Sharks

Today we have the pleasure to present San Jose Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi´s Stadium mask. 😃

Antti reached out to me to have his Stadium mask painted, he had a very cool idea and I loved it. He wanted to make the mask into an old school mask, with a very special paint job on it. It is the same paint job as Antti´s goalie coach had when he was a goalie. Now we just twisted it into a Sharks design…

I just love to create paintings that also are a storyteller.📚

I created the mask so looks really old and used, some puck mark here and there, and I created the pucks marks with a real puck…🎨

For sure the design is loaded with insane detail work, just what I love to do, and of course all the DAVEART Trademark Super FX.💎

Antti, I am so proud to paint for you!😃
