Honken goes back to 1999…

Beware, it´s a tiger on the ice in Gävle!

It is always such a pleasure to create the mask art for Johan Holmqvist, we have been working together for more than 15 years, it´s many masks…:)

For this new mask Johan wanted something really wild and spectacular, just like his mask back in 1999 when he won the Swedish Championship with Brynäs. The mask he had back then was the TomatoTiger… o man I remember it was so well, I had so fun when I created that piece, a badass tiger all over the mask hit by a tomato right in the middle of the face… So same theme all over again on this one, but no tomato this time :)

I just love to paint and create in different styles every day, and load it with details to be discovered all over the mask, designs that works both up close and on a distance.

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

Thank you all.

Holmqvist´s new golden mask

Today we have the pleasure to present my buddy Johan Holmqvist´s new Brynäs mask. Me and Johan have been working together for many, many years, over a decade... I remember the mask we made back in 1999, we called it the TomatoTiger, a very wild design. The mask was painted as a tiger head, that was hit by a tomato right in the face… With that mask he won the Swedish Championship.

This new mask is in a way more classic style, just as Johan´s gold winning mask from last season. It´s is a clean continuation of the last mask, but now with a black base, with golden leaves giving a cool profile from distance. When you come closer you discover a new world of details, just what I love to do. Among the details are the years of Johan´s two Swedish Championships titles, and a tribute to our friend Stefan Liv.

Welcome to check out the mask in the gallery. Thank you for your interest.
