Henrik Lundqvist's 85th anniversary mask

Today we have the great honor to present the NHL super star Henrik Lundqvist's latest creation, a mask that was really exciting for me to create. In celebration of the 85th season the New York Rangers will use a special heritage jersey in selected games this season, and of course Lundqvist will wear a special mask for these occasions. Henrik and I talked and came up with a plan on how to create this design.

The mask is painted in total sync with the unique game jersey in blue, red and beige. Obviously the Statue of Liberty just as usual shows up on one side, as well as the for Henrik's masks so characteristic bolts. The rest of the mask is painted in total harmony with the jersey, with very much detail work and 3-D effects. DAVEART Holographix FX details make the design completely unique and worthy the King of Manhattan.

Violent skull mask for Brent

Brent Krahn likes different designs in raw style, and it's so fun to change style and goal when you create the different designs. Just like last season Brent wanted a nasty skull with a cobra in gray tints. This time I created a longhorn bull skull, and around it a attacking cobra. Around this a white base with a violent black effect that covers the whole mask giving an interesting effect. The yellowish flames converge with the golden tint, and everything together create a unique look, with a unique name, Stone Rocker!

Wesslau's Columbus mask in retro style

Gustaf and I talked ideas back and fourth, and Gustaf wanted a design in same classic spirit as his latest mask in his former team Djurgården in Sweden. The design was really popular among the DIF fans. I presented this design and Gustaf really liked it. An old school design built on logos, and spiced with lots of modern 3-D effects and flashy smoke effects. Check out Gustaf Wesslau's Columbus Blue Jackets mask in the mask gallery or on Facebook!

Turco's red Gargoyle mask...

Today we have the pleasure to present the latest creation for my client of many years, the NHL star Marty Turco. It's always crazy fun to paint Marty's creations with the gargoyles. These gargoyles I invented from imagination in a crazy mix of horror and cartoon, with much 3-D effects. Obviously in Indian style, and one of them with a nasty stick...

Much red tints in this design that is painted for Marty's and Chicago's red shirt, and everything tied together with strong contrasts and colors, and maxxed with 3-D effects. Check out Marty Turco's Chicago Blackhawks mask in the mask gallery or on our Facebook page!

Poulin pays tribute to legends

Kevin Poulin had the genius idea to pay tribute to the two legendary Islanders players Billy Smith and Mike Bossy, and around this create a classic old school design. I made a sketch for Kevin, and since he liked it was just to get started. One side of the mask is devoted to the two legends, painted in blue tints with orange glow it really breathes Islanders, just like the rest of the design that is tied together with graphic lines and logos.

Enroth's new mask design evolved from his earlier

It's always a great pleasure to create Jhonas Enroth's designs. We have co-operated for many years now, ever since Jhonas' breakthrough in Sweden, and all the designs have followed a line that we have developed slightly through the years. Classic, graphic, clean and effective. The stone wall dividing the mask in two has become Jhonas' signum, and on the sides we have the team logos. All created with effectful bolts and extreme detail solutions, and with a nice 3-D touch and metallic glitter that make the design someting beyond the normal.

Mason's Lincoln design in realistic look

The NHL star Steve Mason's second design of the season just as the first one features Abraham Lincoln, but here I created him in a realistic look, in cool contrast to the first design with Abraham Lincoln in cartoon look as a super hero... Here we have switched style like a chameleon and created a quietly powerful tribute to Lincoln.

On one side I created a layout in blue tints with Lincoln, with portrait and Mount Rushmore. I also weaved in the statue which I created with brush in old school oil paint tech. The rest of the design is a speed-filled design breathing Columbus to a 100%, with extreme detail work and 3-D effects.
