Bernier's mask for the alternate uniform

Jonathan Bernier wanted a mask custom designed to be used with the alternate jersey of the Los Angeles Kings. He told me that he wanted to pay tribute to the legendary LA keeper Rogie Vachon. I presented an idea for Jonathan, and since he liked it, it was just for me to get started...

On one side a layout with Vachon in action, with his unique mask and his signature in the background, all in purple tints with glistening metallic. The rest of the mask is created with a graphic look with elements from the uniform, spiced up with a roll of film spinning with cool 3-D effects, just like on Jonathan's previous masks that I have created for him.

Reimer's design looks back at the childhood

It was very exciting to create Toronto Maple Leaf James Reimer's unique mask design. When James told me what he wanted I was very eager to start. The design is a celebration of his childhood.

On one side you see children playing hockey on a pond, and in the background you see a house with light in the windows, mother and father are waiting for the children to come in from the cold. I love to create paintings with much details that tell a story. This side I created like a motif in a children's book.

The other side is a tribute to James' favorite TV show Hockey Night. I painted Cherry and MacLean in blue tints in a layout on the side with glistening stars around. Around all this I put together a Maple Leafs design with the beautiful maple leaf and graphic lines that tie the whole together, creating a truly unique design.

Chemical disaster lab on Dex's new Pred mask

A lot of action in the laboratory on Mark Dekanich's new Nashville mask...! Dex is back on the mask of course, and he's gone crazy, he have mixed chemicals and created a badass liquid all over the mask, watch out, it looks dangerous... And scary electric bolts fly all over the mask making a mess. And in the middle of all this he's going to press on his remote too, take cover!

Dex always figures on Mark's masks, same nickname that they have. Everything created to a colorful piece dipped in maxxed 3-D effects.

Reaper on Climie's new design

It was much fun to create the Phoenix Coyotes keeper Matt Climie's new mask design, a design that is a direct continuation of his previous design that I got the honor to paint for him in Dallas. Here I again created a nasty skull and Grim Reaper breaking through on the top of the mask, with a cloak in Phoenix colors! The rest of the design is created with a huge amount of details and graphics making it breathe Coyotes to a 100%.
