The Joker Mask in High School Hockey

2012-01-04T17:35:00.000-08:00

I'll have some more art post later in the week here is some interesting news in the meantime, you might recall last summer I painted my 1st goalie mask "The Joker" I have since done another (which I have yet to post) and currently working on two more. Well the Joker Mask made an appearance over western New York newspapers over the weekend from a High School tournament and North Tonawanda Starting goalie Austin Willison was all over the papers...I want to say the mask helped, take a look from The Buffalo News Here

And the Tonawanda News

Looks pretty good in action

Just to have some sort of Artwork here is a sketch I recently did of Ryan Miller in Pen...Nice to see he does have some fight in him after the Tootoo run.

Foogos: Sidney Crosby...or crosbaby?

2011-12-01T23:05:00.000-08:00

Alright I am a Sidney Crosby fan, no matter how many times he has upset me making a fool of Ryan Miller in the 1st Winter Classic and the Olympics, but he's just really good and I'm partial to the Penguins having lived in Pittsburgh for years. Scott over at Foogos Here created this portrait of Sidney Crosby out of baby food I just had to post it, the underlining meaning of using baby food, poking fun that a lot of the Crosby haters refer to him as a bit of a baby, just great. What makes Scott's projects so interesting is not only that it's logos or artwork out of food is the underlying meaning of the type of food used for the particular piece that puts his work above any other food related art work...if there is any.

Goalie's Mask: red, white & Dryden

2011-11-29T22:00:00.000-08:00

Well tonight sucked for me, I have no feel for my Sabres team right now after a loss to the Islanders 2-1. The looked good at times but just couldn't hit the net all night, especially when it counted. They do have a lot of Injuries so I hope they will come together when the bulk of the team is back. I'm getting back into things here now, I've started painting some and idea shopping more goalie masks, I should have some up soon as well as more great work from Jim Link.

Anyway this piece was brought to my attention from Robert who is a friend of the artist whos other work can be seen here The artist Brandy Saturley has a few paintings related to hockey at her website, and this is by far the coolest and the one I would have displayed. Her gallery celebrates Canadian themes, and what better illustrates those than hockey, coldness and of course Tim Hortons, her paintings just make you feel Canada.

Jim Link: Miikka Kiprusoff

2011-11-03T23:31:00.000-07:00

Jim sent in a treasure trove of art work not to long ago and each one is fantastic. My sabres are taking of the Flames tonight so I decided to post his drawing of Miikka Kiprusoff. There as been some controversy for Sabres fans recently, questioning Ryan Millers play, frankly the team as a whole has not been playing as a team, and yes Miller usually stops some of the goals that he's allowed but I have no doubt he will be able to work on his game and get back to his usual puck stopping self. If I was the coach I'd give him tonight off, play Enroth to allow Miller some more practice time and to get things right on the road where he doesn't have the pressure of the home fans. We'll see how it goes....herrreeeee's Kipper!

Happy Halloween! puck pumpkins

2011-10-31T08:24:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween! I created these pumpkins for some players of the Port Colborne Jr. B Pirates. The 1st is biznasty, the picture doesn't do it justice but you can kind of see the resemblance, then there is the Port Colborne Pirates logo, which is similar to the Portland Pirates logo if you ask me.

Buffalo Jr. Sabres of the OJHL

2011-10-25T21:37:00.000-07:00

Here is a piece that I created for a friend of mine Andrew Poturalski who is currently the leading scorer for the Buffalo Jr. Sabres and 5th in scoring in the OJHL but some how never scores in games that I attend, at least recently. Anyway if you're in the Buffalo area go down to the Northtown Center to cheer them on, print the picture and have him autograph it for you (he would be glad to) he's that good.

Hockey Art from Yuri

2011-10-18T07:17:00.000-07:00

My first international submission from Russia! Yuri sent in these two great hockey Characters. When I think of Russian Art this is the style I usually think of and add hockey to that and you got this. Really cool and futuristic look, proud to now have Russian art on the blog.

Minimalist NHL Posters

2011-10-12T22:21:00.000-07:00

I found these via the Puck Daddy yahoo blog and thought they were so cool and a great idea, perfect for the blog. Graphic artist Mike Chuhon created "Minimalist NHL Posters" for all 30 NHL teams. you can take a look and buy items such as posters or shirts here He takes minimal elements of each teams logo and created a poster for that team in a simplistic interesting way, a lot of them look great so don't work as well as others I'd say but they are all pretty awesome, I liked so many of them I'm relieved he has a poster with every one (which I will surely be buying).

Henrik Lundqvist by Matt

2011-10-11T07:22:00.000-07:00

Matt submitted another one of his drawings for the site, here is his drawing of Henrik Lundqvist of the Rangers in his Team Sweden Jersey. Thanks Matt!

Mini Goalie Mask: Vancouver Canucks

2011-10-08T23:01:00.000-07:00

I remember collecting those mini goalie mask key chains but didn't care for just the team logo printed on the top so I got inspired to paint a design based on the team logo on each mask. no these are from years ago (early 2000's I think) so some logos will be outdated but i think some of them are pretty cool. Here's number 28, The Vancouver Canucks mini goalie mask. This is the final mask in the series, hey at the time there were 28 teams at the time...30 by the time i finished so the Islanders and Wild were left out. Now I'll be back to posting some submitted art work and revisiting some familiar artists with new work...the season has begun!

Mini Goalie Mask: Chicago Blackhawks

2011-09-08T23:43:00.000-07:00

Well the season is about a month away, one of the reasons posts here have been scarce over the summer is due to moving into a new house, some good news though is that I uncovered some long lost hockey related art projects I created over the years. I'm going to try to post one a day, a perfect build up to the start of the season. I remember collecting those mini goalie mask key chains but didn't care for just the team logo printed on the top so I got inspired to paint a design based on the team logo on each mask. no these are from years ago (early 2000's i think) so some logos will be outdated but i think some of them are pretty cool. So I'll start off with the Chicago Blackhawks mini goalie mask.

Martin St. Louis from Ian and Steven Stamkos twitter pic

2011-08-18T22:45:00.000-07:00

Ian submitted this sketch he drew of Tampa Bay forward Martin St. Louis! Thanks Ian!

Speaking of Tampa Bay, I just learned a player that goes by the name Steven Stamkos is using my art work of him as his twitter pic @RealStamkos91 which is Really awesome. It was one of my favorite pieces but it's great to see it used by him #honored, here is the full post from earlier with the artwork.

Rod Langway

Penguins Crafts

2011-07-11T17:07:00.000-07:00

I love when someone sends in different types of art related to hockey. When I started this blog this would probably have been on the list I would never expect to have seen on it. Ally from http://www.tiicklemepiinkk.blogspot.com/ has submitted these photos of different types of art work all tying into the Pittsburgh penguins from cakes to garbage cans and a hello kitty Jordan Staal...why not? quite the show of being a Pens fan.

AHL Binghamton Senators Goalie Robyn Lehner

2011-06-18T16:30:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to the Boston Bruins on winning the Stanlry cup, now i can take a little break with dishing out art in relation to the playoff teams. I've accumulated quite a stash of artwork submitted, I'll be going through it and posting over the next several weeks.

First of some more great work from Jim Link, which features another hockey champion, the Binghamton Senators (AHL affiliate to Ottawa) won the AHL title and Goalie Robyn Lehner won the Jack A.

Stanley Cup Final: Vancouver Canucks vs. Boston Bruins

2011-06-08T22:10:00.000-07:00

This as been an up and down series so far, I was liking the Canucks to start and looked good for the first two games now Boston has dominated the last two. Currently the series is tied at 2 and game 5 will be huge in determining the winner of the series I think. If Boston can win in Vancouver it will be a huge factor. So here are two pieces of Ryan Kesler of the Canucks and Zdeno Chara of the Bruins

NHL Playoffs round 2: Philadelphia Flyers vs. Boston Bruins

2011-05-06T10:19:00.000-07:00

This series could come to an end tonight as Boston holds a 3-0 series lead. It has been a bit of a let down the Flyers haven't yet come to show up, with only one close game.

2011 NHL Playoffs: Vancouver Canucks vs. Chicago Blackhawks

2011-04-15T10:31:00.000-07:00

Kari Lehtonen

Cam Ward

2011-04-10T11:23:00.000-07:00

Cam Ward

Jaroslav Halak

Enroth the Ewok

2011-04-05T09:26:00.000-07:00

There's a lot of buzz in the area about the Sabres rookie goalie Jhonas Enroth coming in and winning some big games and there have been some comparisons on various message boards likening him to an ewok, which I get so I figured why not.

NHL logos made of food....yes thats right food

2011-03-31T12:47:00.000-07:00

Scott sent in his really fun and different way to look at the NHL team logos, by depicting them in edible form, what he calls Foogos. below are some of my favorites. what makes this even better is that the choice for the type of food to use is linked to either the city or team. He hopes to create one for each NHL team, I know I'll be keeping an eye on this and will post any updates on new foogos from Scott. check out more logos at his site http://foo-gos.com/

Jim: Marty Turco in Dallas

2011-03-25T11:06:00.000-07:00

Goalie Mask

2011-03-22T10:25:00.000-07:00

ICA to screen Artists videos at Portland Pirates Games

2011-02-22T17:34:00.000-08:00

I thought this is really cool piece of news in the world of art and hockey. Earlier this year the Buffalo Sabres had an art exhibit "Forty" at the Albright Knox Art gallery in Buffalo. The exhibit had video instillation's and photographs from the Buffalo Sabres collected over the teams 40 year history. Now the Sabres AHL affiliate the Portland Pirates are taking Art into the in game experience at select upcoming home games. The Pirates have collaborated with the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art to show video projects related to hockey on the Jumbo tron, for information check out this post:
http://www.meca.edu/news#ica-to-screen-videos-at-portland-pirates-games

I believe this to be a great idea and hopefully more can come from this, maybe some NHL teams following suit, and introduce a more creativeness. It's definitely something different than the same old cookie cutter experience for fans. I look forward to other teams following this.

I'd like to point out some other blogs that mix hockey and art but not quite in the same way I showcase here. they feature more about logos and jersey design some great one I enjoy following are Icethetics http://www.icethetics.info/ which is a great source for NHL and minor team jersey news as well as Puckdrawn
http://www.puckdrawn.com/ which is as nice as Icethitics but frequently has design contests. I just got inspired and entered a Star Wars themed hockey jersey. both are really good sites i encourage my viewers to follow them as well.

I absolutely love his work, He has been doing graphics for a blog that I love to read The Pensblog and his website is here. One of my favorite hockey artists that I've seen around, it inspired me to work on some of the goalie series that i've been working on for each NHL team. here are my favorites from his sketch book on the Pens blog site.
