Broad Street Bullies...👊🏻💥

Jason LaBarbera and I had a cool idea when we were about to create his new Flyers mask👊🏻💥... How about create a Flyers mask so it looks old and used, a mask that has been in a lot of fights and tough hockey...Scratches and bruises all over... Just like Broad Street Bullies..👊🏻

A mask like that would live and breath Flyers hockey in each and every detail...🎯

Our ideas emerged and in front of our eyes our ideas was transformed into a totally unique Philadelphia Flyers mask.💪🏻

Thanks Jason! I love to be your mask creator!🎨

Thank you all for your interest in my paintings.😀

Rocky on Neuvirth's new Flyers mask💥👊🏻

Today we have the pleasure to present my friend Michal Neuvirth's new Flyers mask. Michal and I have been working together for many years. Michal was sure what he wanted on his new Flyers mask.. He wanted a tribute to Rocky.💥👊🏻

I loved the idea and I started to brainstorm. I love the Rocky movies, and I came up with a plan how we could create the design. I started to paint...🎨

The tribute painting to Rocky is created in many different techniques, I love to mix techniques when I paint. In focus is the painting of Rocky and his trainer, created in airbrush. The rest is created in a mix of airbrush, brush and sketch pencil.🎨

On a distance the design is a clean cut Flyers design which live and breath Flyers. And when you come closer the design becomes a storyteller design📚. Among all the details you will find the castle from Michal's home town🏰.

Just as usual the design is loaded with all the DAVEART Trademark Super FX💎.

Thanks Michal, I am so proud to be your artist. We have already more cool stuff in the pipeline 😀 Be ready folks..

A new mask from a nightmare…

Steve Mason's new Philadelphia Flyers 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…

I love to be your painter Steve :-)

We dig even deeper in the unpleasant details, to create a true horror mask… And not only that, in this design Steve´s own dog shows up as well…

On a distance it's a scary and stitched skull mask with the Philly logos stitched to the mask… and when you come closer you aren't sure what you're seeing, we wanted to create a scary feeling. You will discover so much details all over the mask, details that tells a story of horror, you will find morbid faces, skulls, a shark attack, dripping blood and so much more…

The design is pumped with all the Super FX, just what I love to do.

Thank you all.

To the Fantastic Fans of Flyers

To the Fantastic Fans of Flyers, yes that is the name of Michael Leighton's new Philadelphia Flyers mask. Me and Michael have been working together for many years and it is always such a pleasure to create his new designs.

For this new mask Michael had an awesome idea, he wanted the mask to be a tribute to the fantastic fans of Flyers, and especially the cool guys in orange body suits. So they are popping up on the sides waving with Philly flags, and check out in the Flyers logo on each side, there you find the whole arena filled with the fantastic fans! As usual I love to pump the design with so much details and all kind of effects to discover.

The clean and graphic base design is a story of its own, I have so many memories from it. I came up with the design back in 1993... I remember it very well, later on that evening we went to cinema to watch Jurassic Park! On the train from Sävsjö to Nässjö, on the way to school, I was just as usual thinking out new mask design ideas. I always save all my sketches and design ideas, and now, 19 years later, I could use this design cause it matched Michael’s ideas perfectly... :-)

The T-34 Tank Mask is here

Today I´m very happy to present the new mask artwork for the Philadelphia Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. I love to paint for you Bobs, you always have so cool ideas!

You can find all Bobrovsky´s other masks on my site. Sergei always has a lot of thinking behind every mask. That is just what I love to create, designs telling a story and with lots of details.

In Sergei´s hometown in Russia, Novokuznetsk, they built the classic Russian super Tank T-34. Sergei wanted to pay tribute to the fantastic machine, that played a big role for Russia in the WW2. Such a unique and great idea.

I myself am very interested in history, so it was a dream design for me to create. I did a lot of research, and put together a concept and Sergei gave me green light at once.

It is a mix of details, landscape designs with the tanks and you also find the Russian fighter planes Polikarpov I-16 in the sky, and when you come closer you will see how the chin of the mask transforms into a close up of a real Tank with the sheet metal.

The mask is so action packed of details that most of them cannot be seen in photo, and the closer you get the more you will discover, the design is packed of Easter eggs!

Welcome to check it out in the mask gallery. And in the App and on Facebook... :-) Thank you for your interest.

Bobrovsky´s Winter Classic mask a tribute to the town of Philadelphia

Today we have the honor to present the Philadelphia Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky´s Winter Classic mask. It was so fun to create this design. Sergei wanted his design to be a tribute to the fantastic town of Philadelphia. I loved the idea.

The design is created as a classic and worthy retro design, with the Flyers wings spreading out on each side, and everything connected with Flyers´ beautiful Winter Classic jersey. And when you come closer you discover a new world of extreme detailed paintings from the town of Philadelphia and a new design is created in front of your eyes.

I painted the motifs in a sketchy documentary style to give a retro feeling to the theme. You find the Liberty Bell and a painting of the Philadelphia skyline with the bridge to Philadelphia, and also a painting of downtown Philadelphia, and the Independence Hall, and of course the Declaration of Independence, and when you look close at the document you will see the famous date.

In the snowfall all over the mask with old school snow stars in different shapes, you will also see some different snow stars as well, some with the shape of Flyers logos and some as small Russian Babuschka dolls, as a little salute to Bobrovsky´s homeland.

Welcome to check out the mask in the mask gallery or on our Facebook page, or in the DAVEART App. The App is for iPhone, iPad and Android, and is free to download from the App Store and Market.

Leighton pays homage to Flyers hockey legends

Today we are very happy to present Mike Leighton´s new Philadelphia Flyers mask. The design is a continuation from last season´s Broad Street Bullies tribute mask, which made huge success when we presented it and my mailbox almost exploded. When I created that design I wanted to come up with something totally new, I love to create designs in new styles and think outside the box.

This new design is totally different, but still in the old school style, and is a tribute to three legendary Flyers goalies. The design is named after their numbers. I created them on the sides with old school oil paint tech, both action shots and portraits. And yes the arrow on the top is also a tribute to a Flyers goalie legend. I put a lot of thinking behind every detail, as always... :)

From a distance the design is an old school design with great contrasts, and when you come closer a new world of details and story telling opens up. An old school design spiced up with 3-D effects and metallic effects.

Welcome to check it out in the mask gallery, the App and on Facebook. Thanks for your interest.

Fighter jets on Bobrovsky's new Flyers mask

Today we have the great pleasure to present Sergei Bobrovsky's new Philadelphia Flyers mask. The entire mask is painted like an orange brickwall with stucco finish... The stucco is falling apart, and the orange bricks are shown, but it's still a brickwall. On the brickwall you find the Flyers logo, painted as a poster put on the wall. You also find graffiti painting, Bobrovsky's name is spray painted on the brickwall...

On the other side of the mask the action starts, and just as last season you find a Russian and a US fighter jet. They are flying side by side and burst through the orange brickwall. And just as usual extreme detail work, in the background you see buildings from both Kreml and from Sergei's hometown, and lots and lots of 3-D effects all over the mask, with both metallic glitter and DAVEART Holographix FX.

Check out Sergei Bobrovsky's Flyers mask in the mask gallery or on the DAVEART Facebook page! Or in the App...

Backlund's Flyers mask

Johan Backlund wanted to recreate the graphic Philly lines painted in the locker room on his mask. Together we made this design solution, where the lines are playing with 3-D effects on each side. The white base makes it a classic distinct design that is 100% Flyers. The Philadelphia Flyers logo on the top gives a powerful feeling to the whole.

Check out Johan Backlund's Philadelphia Flyers mask in our brand new App for iPhone and Android, on Facebook, or of course in the mask gallery here on the website.

Bobrovsky enters NHL like a jet plane

With great joy I created Sergei Bobrovsky's first NHL mask. The theme he wanted was powerful jet planes. On each side a jet plane rushes forward, on one side an American one with chosen Philly monuments down below, and on the other a Russian jet plane with Russian landmarks below.

Around all this I created a powerful Philly design with a maximum of action and effects in orange and black tints. Go check out Sergei Bobrovsky's Philadelphia Flyers mask design in the mask gallery or on Facebook. And stay ready, lots of new NHL masks will be presented onwards...

Broad Street Bullies on Leighton's new Flyers mask

When the NHL star Mike Leighton told me what kind of design he wanted I thought it would be a dream design to create. A tribute design to the legendary Broad Street Bullies! Perfect for a Flyers mask!

A graphic classic layout, spiced up with extremely much detail work and portraits weaved in to the graphics in different colors. Dave Schultz is fighting, what else, and Bobby Clarke is showing his well-known toothless grin... And the mask is painted as it has gotten a real beating!

Mask with theme from the Winter Classic 2010 game

Today we present a mask that was really fun to paint. It was ordered by NHL that wanted a mask with a Winter Classic 2010 theme, the outdoor game that was played between the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers this winter. I created graphics with ice falling apart, the club logos and the logo of the event.
