Cruel skulls in a new way on Karlsson's new Calgary Flames mask

Calgary Flames
Henrik and I talked about his new mask design and came to the conclusion that we wanted to make something really violent, that would allude to flames, but also be something new. The result is a violent creation with the logo in focus and team graphics around, and with nasty flame effects that melt together with cruel skulls...

Holtby's Caps mask with furious eagle in action

Washington Capitals
Another NHL mask to present! This time it's a design with a classic Caps theme featuring an eagle, and with lots of action! The eagle breaks out of Braden's icy mask with cool 3-D effects and lots of details. A design that delivers both in close-up and from a long distance.

The Godfather on Svedberg's Brynäs mask

Brynäs IF
After Niklas Svedberg had signed with the Swedish elite league team Brynäs, we talked about how to create the mask design for his new team. Niklas wanted a classic and clear Brynäs design with the club's beautiful colors and the characteristic yellow-red lines, spiced up with a special dude, the Godfather. I painted him on one of the sides with old school oil paint tech, and on the chin the number is also strongly inspired by the same dude...

Markström's Florida mask teared apart by a panther...

Florida Panthers
Time to present the super talent Jacob Markström's new Florida Panthers mask! Since this is his first NHL mask, it was special for me to create it. The design is based on Florida's cool logos, placed asymmetric on the mask a cool effect is achieved when the mask is turned from side to side. Spiced up with a maximum of 3-D effects, and with bright tints and strong contrasts...

Go to the mask gallery or Facebook to check out Jacob Markström's Florida Panthers mask, that is being teared apart by, yeah exactly, a panther...

Broad Street Bullies on Leighton's new Flyers mask

Philadelphia Flyers
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!

Lundqvist with a king's crown on his new Rangers mask

New York Rangers
It's always a great pleasure to create the mask designs for the NHL star and king of Manhattan, Henrik Lundqvist. Together we have developed his designs through the years with strong contrasts and cool 3-D effects, and of course with lightning theme. His new design features his own cool king's crown logo on one side of the mask, while the Statue Of Liberty in Rangers alternate logo appears on the other.

Abe as a super hero on Mason's new mask

Columbus Blue Jackets
We welcome the NHL star Steve Mason as new client! It will be so much fun and inspiring to paint your masks Steve! For this design Steve told me that he wanted cool cartoon characters with connection to the Blue Jackets. A blue soldier is ready to fight on one side, and on the other I created President Abe, the leader of the Blue Boys. And I painted him as a super hero...with mega big muscles and ready for action, no one will dare to mess with him...!

And as usual, lots of details, effects and 3-D depth, just like it should be on a mask of a NHL star painted by DAVEART. Check out Steve Mason's Columbus Blue Jackets mask design in the mask gallery or on our Facebook page! Soon there will come more designs for mr Mason, in a completely different style...
