Old Time goalies by John Dykes

John submitted some of his paintings of some old time goalies. These are some really nice paintings that capture the feel of the goalies in this era, here are Doug Grant of the St. Louis Blues, Mike Palmateer and Gord McRae of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Jim Rutherford of the Detroit Red Wings.

Thanks for submitting them John!

Boston Bruins: by Heather Rose

I found Heather on Instagram (user Smokeyandhoney) she has some stunning Boston Bruins portraits done with pencil. I posted 2 of my favorite ones that she had posted, one of Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask and Captain Zdeno Chara . She also has a website where she posts a lot of her other portraits http://heatherrosestudios.com

2014 USA Ryan Miller art

Ryan Millers USA Olympic mask was recently released and I was inspired to do this mock up of yan Miller in olympic gear. This is one of my 1st works i drew 100% digitaly.

It looks like it's going to be a tough decision between Ryan Miller and Jonathan Quick to start for team USA. Although I am biased being a Sabres fan, I would start Miller just because of the experience and what he did in 2010. Either way USA should be solid in goal and I wouldn't mind if Quick started since he is my 2 favorite goalie to watch in the NHL.

Star Wars Emperor vs. Yoda Hockey goalie mask

I recently finished up my latest goalie mask , featuring Darth Sidious AKA The Emperor on one side and Yoda on the other side, both brandishing their light sabers meeting in the middle. I also couldn't do a mask with the Emperor and not also included the force lightning, so I added it thought the mask bringing it all together. Out of all the masks I've painted so far, this is my favorite both in terms of painting and the final product, now that I have several under my belt the process of painting this one went pretty smooth.

Movember: Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks

It may be safe to say that Luongo is Vancouver's starting goalie this year and should be for the next few years. He is one of the most entertaining goalies in the league in not only his interviews but on his twitter account @strombone1 .  This month Luongo is sporting a special Movember mask, it is one of my favorite masks he has worn, and I think he should stick with it for a bit longer than 1 month. For those who don't know Movember occurs during the month of November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. Men grow and women support a Mo (moustache) for 30 days becoming walking, talking billboards. Movember supports world-class men’s health programs that combat prostate and testicular cancer.

Carey Price

I've gotten a lot of positive feed back on these types of illustrations I've been producing recently, that really ramped up and you can go back and see in last years payoff match ups. the #1 request I got was Carey Price (a lot of Montreal fans out there). My initial thought to produce these and have them look uniform was to do a few for each team, featuring different jerseys. I have a list I'm working on a list of ones to do yet, so if your a fan of these send me a request and I may push it to the top of my list.
