Raycroft's new design old school and top modern

Dallas Stars
It was great fun to create the NHL star Andrew Raycroft's new Dallas Stars mask creation. A design that is both old school and top modern in the layout. The design is completely built on the logos of the Dallas Stars. Strong contrasts and uncontrollable detail work give a strongly graphical design spiced up with 3-D effects and smoke effects of the most modern cut.

Take a look at Andrew's mask design in our mask gallery or on Facebook!

Jeremy Smith's new mask a continuation of last year's success

Nashville Predators
Jeremy Smith's different mask design made big success last year and now we present the continuation. The mask features a pirate ship theme, created with old school oil paint tech like an old painting, and created inside the Admirals logo. A different and exciting design solution.

The rest of the design is stylish and clear with strong contrasts, yellow fire effects and Predators logos. Check out Jeremy Smith's Nashville Predators mask in the mask gallery and on our so popular Facebook page.

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!
