Coyotes design in a new way..🐺🌵🐍

Arizona Coyotes

David Leggio and I saw in front of us how to create a Arizona Coyotes design in a totally new way... We started to brainstorm and a plan crystallized...✏️

We are happy to unleash the new mask artwork of David Leggio.

The closer you come to the mask the more it opens up and becomes the storybook of Leggio's mask art 📚.

The Arizona Coyotes logos rock the mask in a new way in a universe of black and white... And not only that, it also glows in the dark with G.L.O.W Tech FX, and of course all the other DAVEART Trademark Super FX joins the joyride...

Thanks David, it is a pleasure to be your artist 🎨😃.

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.

Ellis´ new Florida mask is transformed into a... swamp boat (!!)…🌴🐊

Florida Panthers

Be ready for an action ride in the Florida swamps among dangerous animals…🌴 Dan Ellis new Florida bucket is transformed into a swamp boat, and of course it is a cool panther driving it…!😺

On one side he looks really badass…😼 but hey what is swimming under the boat… it is the tail of a gator!🐊

The panther can sense it is a gator somewhere, but he can’t see it, he look back… Oh no, this is bad news… the gator pop up on the side with hungry eyes.. We recommend the panther to go even faster! 💨

I love to paint masks so they transforms into something else… and this is the first time I transform a mask into a Florida swamp boat… a perfect fit for a goalie in Florida Panthers… 😺🍊🌴

Markström's Millionaires mask pays tribute to the Sedin twins horses..🐎🐎

Vancouver Canucks

I am very happy to present Jacob Markström's Vancouver Millionaires mask. It is a very unique mask design.. It pays tribute to the Sedin twins two horses...🐎🐎

Jacob called me and told me his ideas for this mask... I loved it and I couldnt wait to get started. I brainstormed and sketched. I showed my drawings to Jacob ✏️ and I could start to paint with my airbrushes at once.

It is a clean cut old school design, all based on the awesome Millionaires logos and jerseys. And when you come really close a new dimension of detail work opens up, and under the maroon glittering sky you find the horses racing.

Me and Jacob have been working together for many years and it is always so exciting to create and paint your new pieces, thanks Jacob! 😃

Jeff Gordon´s racing mask with Lundqvist in the TV series The Mask 📺

New York Rangers

It has been an awesome adventure making the TV series "The Mask" with Henrik Lundqvist and his guests. A dream project for sure!

I love racing and when Henrik called me and told me Jeff Gordon was the next guest in the TV series The Mask I started to brainstorm at once… I started to think of the cool flames Jeff often has on his helmets… How about create classic racing flames, in a new way on a mask… I started to sketch and the ideas crystallized and I started to paint in front of the TV cameras...🎥

And then it was awesome to be invited to NYC and see these masks from the TV series, displayed at an exhibition in NYC…🌃🎬🗽

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

When Henrik sat down with racing legend Jeff Gordon, it was obvious this mask would be exciting.

The first feature that stands out is Gordon’s iconic car number 24 painted on the chin piece. The flames on the front and the checker flags are other links to the racing world, and a great nod to Gordon's historic career in NASCAR.

The mask also features a Stanley Cup and Sprint Cup, celebrating the success both men have had in their respected sports. Finally, there's a picture of Gordon himself as well as a classic racetrack.

This mask is a great tribute to one of the greats in racing and one of the greats in hockey, as well as a celebration of both careers.

Gerber´s Kloten mask...

Kloten

Today we have the pleasure to present Martin Gerber´s latest Kloten mask 👊

I have been working with Martin for more than a decade, we have created lots of funny masks together, both in the NHL as in the SHL 👍

This mask is created in a very clean cut and classic look, and also created in a vintage look so it looks old and used, and it is even rust coming around the screws…

On a distance it is a classic crisp look, and when you come closer the design enters a new dimension of detail work to be discovered all over the mask…📚

And for sure all the DAVEART Trademark Super FX💎 is there…

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.

Thanks Martin!

Thank you all, much more to come!

Michael J Fox´s mask with Lundqvist in the TV series The Mask ⭐️⭐️⭐️

New York Rangers

It has been an awesome adventure making the TV series "The Mask" with Henrik Lundqvist and his guests⭐️. A dream project for sure!😃🎨

When Henrik called me and told me Michael J Fox was the next guest in the TV series The Mask it was just too good to be true ❤️ I am such a huge fan of Michael J Fox, both as an actor and what he is doing now with his foundation.

I always watch movies when I paint..🎬 I even have a cinema surround system setup in my paint room...👍 And the Back To The Future movies I watch every year! Those movies will always be on my top list. I am a total BTTF fan and nerd.❤️

I remember when I was a kid in the end of the 80's, my friends asked me if I wanted to hang out, it was weekend... No, I preferred to be home with my new Back To The Future movie box...📺

So to paint this mask I will never forget, it will be a treasure in my life. And then to be invited to NYC and see this masks and the other masks from the TV series, displayed at an exhibition in NYC... Wow ❤️🌃

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

"We made a mask out of a Delorean"

When Henrik Lundqvist teamed up with actor and advocate, Michael J. Fox, to design a mask, past and present came together to create an epic piece. In a comical nod to Fox’s last name and acting career, the mask has a cartoon fox coming out of the sunroof of the classic “Back To The Future” DeLorean.

One of the best features on the mask is the other tribute to “Back To The Future;” a depiction of the classic movie poster depicting Fox stepping out of the DeLorean, and checking his watch. Even the dates of time travel that were featured in the movie made it on the mask!

Family man Fox also included his four children’s initials on the back. Henrik and Fox also decided to include their home city of New York on the mask.

They included the Ranger’s logo, written in the “Back To The Future” font, as well as a picture of the Statue of Liberty. This mask is a great combination of both men and the things they are truly passionate about.

Well how about transform the dawg into a politician, since Justin plays in the Capitals city with all the politicians… me and Justin brainstormed together, and then this idea popped up… How about transform Justin´s dawg into President Lincoln🎩, a true boss and President, yea why not?

So here he is, the dawg is showing off his teeth more than ever, and since he is Abe, he has the Abe beard, Abe hat and the same kind of tie as Abe….🎨

And just as usual, if you dare to come close to this hungry dawg, you will find a storybook of details, Abe himself, and the Capitolium, and the President´s sigill…and more...

Enroth's new Dallas mask is a time machine

Dallas Stars

Today we have the pleasure to present my friend Jhonas Enroth's new bucket for his new team Dallas Stars ⭐️

The new mask is a true time machine. We travel back in time and the design is created in an old school style, inspired by and also a tribute to one of Jhonas favorite goalies Mike Richter.

The design is created in a very crisp and clean style, and it is a time traveller, this mask is old and heavily used...it looks like it has been laying in the attics for decades.... It has lots of old marks and stuff, and even rust around the screws...🔩

O one more thing, it glows in the dark 😎

Thanks Jhonas! I am so proud to be your mask artist and evolve your mask art mask by mask 😃

Tiesto´s mask with Lundqvist in the TV series The Mask

New York Rangers

It has been an awesome adventure making the TV series "The Mask" with Henrik Lundqvist and his guests⭐️. A dream project for sure!😃🎨

In the third episode Tiesto was the guest. Me and Henrik brainstormed how to create this music piece! We came up with a plan pretty quick…🎧🎼🎶💥

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

"The theme behind the Tiesto mask was finding the perfect balance between the similarities and differences of Tiesto and Henrik’s worlds. Both hailing from Scandinavia, the two share similar cultures and histories, which they wanted to incorporate as a main focal point in the mask.

The mask features a tribute to Old New York, or New Amsterdam as it was originally named. The first New York governor, of Netherlands decent, is depicted as stoic statue. They also paid homage to their new roots in Las Vegas, New York, and Stockholm.

Tiesto wanted to incorporate a flashy version of his logo, which he said was “shiny like me and the top of Madison Square Garden.” Although not illustrated on the mask, both Tiesto and Henrik wanted to recognize the devoted nature of their fans.

“Without the fans we both would be nothing,” Tiesto says. The mask exemplifies the combination of two worlds seamlessly coming together to form one epic mask.

When Ondrej Pavelec told me he wanted a tribute design to the boss himself, Bruce Springsteen and the E street band, I was totally excited and could not wait to get started.🎸🎤
