Toronto Maple Leafs: James Reimer

Seems things are slowing down in NHL news, with training camp scheduled to open next week I'm hoping talks continue through the week and some sort of deal is reached to get the games in. We'll here is more of my artwork, Toronto Maple Leafs goalie James Reimer

SportsNic's part 2

Kevin sent in more of his SportsNics collection these are from his 09 collection featuring the Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens and the New Jersey Devils. There are more of these to come from each team from Kevin and for as many as he has and the simplistic design of the characters to the fine detail in the logos/equipment each one is a different pose.

Custom Mask: North Tonawnda High School Hockey

This will be my 3rd Custom mask that I painted. This one is for my alma mater the North Tonawanda High School hockey team. The Schools mascot is a lumberjack so I had a tree line across the mask withe a lumberjack on either side wielding an axe. The goaltender was the teams honorary captain much like Luongo was and wanted the "C" at the chin of the mask, so i wrote JACKS across the bottom making sure the C was in the middle and slightly larger than the other letters.

San Jose Sharks by Jim Link

Being that it is Shark week, here is some more artwork from Jim Link featuring San Jose Sharks and players Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Marc-Édouard Vlasic. Always love the style of Jims work be sure to check out his other artwork on the site.

Martin Brodeur by Jordan

Jordan Sent in this great pencil drawing she did of New Jersey Devils goalie of Martin Brodeur. Great drawing Jordan thanks!

SportNic's

Kevin Lynch sent in a series of what he terms as SportNic's, it is a series of stylized goalie artwork for each NHL team that he drew by hand. I love the style and look of them and the team logos on the goalie pads as well as incorporated through out the equipment is a great touch although I don't believe they are all represented to be Chris Mason (See Jets pads). Kevin sent in several different samples of his SportsNic's from different teams, I'll post more at a later date, as Kevin says he is working on several more and a new series as far as how he came up with the style: "It's a character that comes out of years and years of sketching and playing Goalie." As well as creating these goalie ones for several different years he also has a VintageNic(59-80) Series, and a few smaller 'Nic Series, like Olympic,NCAA, and MN High School 'Nics. Thanks for sharing Kevin

Peter Forsberg AKA the Terminator by Diel

Diel Sent in this awesome airbrush piece of Peter Forsberg as the Terminator, alas we almost thought he was the terminator in his attempt to comeback and play in the NHL a few seasons ago only to last a few games, if he is a machine he should really look into getting his ankle replaced.

From Diel: Airbrush on a aluminum plate the one and only terminator in hockey history!!
