Even the rubber duck has turned into a zombie on Ellis’ new Zombie Ducks mask

Wow, the zombie ducks occupy Anaheim...watch out! The top of the mask turns into a bodybag, and when the zipper opens up all the way to the chin, out from the bodybag comes a badass zombie duck with a mask! His eyes are burning of madness!

More zombie ducks show up on each side of the mask...and these zombies are really of a new kind, cause they can handle weapons...a hockey stick and a chain saw! Even the classic Ducks logo on the side has turned into a zombie, check out the bloodshot eyes... Oh no, even the cute little rubber duck on the side has turned into a badass zombie!

I cannot tell you enough how funny it is to paint masks for Dan Ellis... :-) But I can tell you where to check it out, in the mask gallery and on Facebook!

Henrik Lundqvist’s new mask with lots of DAVEART XXFX

I have painted for Henrik Lundqvist for more than 13 years, and together we have have developed his designs throught the years, and it has been an amazing journey. We continue with the same contrast-rich and speed-filled theme that has become Henrik's signum, with a close connection to the Rangers and of course with the Statue Of Liberty.

This design is a direct continuation on Henrik's previous mask design that was so popular. Here we have added a greeting to Henrik's mask designs back in the days when he played for Frölunda in Sweden, that is DAVEART XXFX glitter effects! Lots of glitter in the design makes it stand out in an extra-ordinary way, just like it should when you are the King Of Manhattan.

Clean lines tie whole together and make it a clear experience when seen from a long distance, but when you check it more close you discover a new world of extreme detail work. DAVEART Holographix FX lifts the 3-D feeling, and the lightning is a natural ingredient that electrifies the design.

Magic purple flames on Jones’ new mask

Martin Jones’ mask design is a classically created and clear design with clean distinct lines that tie the LA Kings graphics together, and behind the Monarchs lion shows up. Martin and I made this design together. An interesting way to mix two teams in one design. The design is inspired by the Kings white jersey, and magic purple flames frame the design and add action to the whole. As always an extreme detail work that lifts the design, and the DAVEART Holographix FX brings depth.

Dragon war on Irving’s mask

Leland Irving had a very cool idea for his new mask, and I was very happy when he contacted me to get it done. He wanted a tribute design to one of his favorite mask designs from his childhood, that is McLean's classic design from the mid 90s. This design is inspired by McLean's design with the checkered pattern on the top, and red, black and silver base, and a dragon on each side. But we turned up the heat, big time, and created this mix of old school with top modern effects!

From a long distance this design makes perfect thanks to the distinct color combinations and strong contrasts in the basic design, but when you check it out more close a new world of details and story telling is opened!

On each side I created a close-up of a dragon, really cocky...and with claws like Wolverine... One of them is fighting with a hockey stick, and is enjoying a big cigar...as a dragon would need extra smoke... They fight against the big nasty dragons flying over the mountains in the background, now you know why the mask design is named Dragon War! Full of action! There's smoke from the lava around them, and speaking of that, watch out! On one side the volcano is about to erupt, it's coming smoke from it!

The rest of the design is created in old school spirit. On the chin a knights pennant with the name is flying in the wind. With extremely much detail work and 3-D effects this design is an experience in detail richness.

Lindbäck’s new Predators mask with glittering letters

This design is a graphic play with the so cool logos of the Predators, and is a continuation of Anders' previous design, but here completely in Preds theme! It’s always great fun to create Anders' designs. We discussed some design solutions back and forth before we came up with this design.

On the top of the mask the Pred logo rules, painted vertically just like on the previous mask. The rest of the design is a symphony of glittering graphics with XXFX glittering P logos in a whirling pattern. Anders also wanted the tower from the arena on one side. The blue base lifts the graphics and 3-D effects. And as usual when I have been in action lots of detail work, that is best experienced really close... :-)

DAVEART Holographix FX gives sweet depth to Tyler’s mask

Tyler Beskorowany had a cool idea, he wanted the North Stars logo on his mask, and the rest with a Dallas Stars theme. I came up with this design proposal, that he really liked. One side with massive of gold color, and the other with massive of black tints, which gives cool contrasts when the mask is turned from side to side.

The club logos were created mega big on each side, and they give both an old school feeling as well as a modern touch touch to the whole with very much detail work and 3-D effects. DAVEART Holographix FX makes the design pop with all its contrasts and the greenish lightning effects bring cool action.
