The Story of DaveArt

– a part of hockey history

David Gunnarsson, the artist behind DaveArt, has been painting as long as he can remember. Back then it was just a dream and his only real choice for a career.

Growing up in the countryside…his grandfather told him he would become a farmer and take over the family business. But David´s greatest passion was art, he painted all the time and when he didn’t paint he would brainstorm new paintings with his fantasy and creativity.

Sketch mode meets TOTAL 3-D FX! ✏️💥

Calvin Pickard’s new Minnesota Wild mask is created with a raw, hand-sketched look running through the entire design — like the artwork has been drawn directly onto the shell. Rough pencil-style textures, sharp lines and hand-crafted details bring a completely different energy to the Wild theme.

And then comes the contrast… total DaveArt 3-D FX. 🤯 The logos, layers, shadows and effects build depth into the artwork, making the sketch elements jump off the mask and come alive from every angle.

Old-school drawing feeling meets modern paint technology — sketchy, raw, dimensional and unmistakably Wild. 🏒🌲🔥

Thank you Calvin for the trust and the creative freedom! 🙏🏻

Pure Lightning energy! ⚡⚡⚡

Dennis Hildeby’s new Tampa Bay mask is built to be packed with action, with lightning bolts exploding across the entire design and creating a feeling of constant movement.

The Lightning identity flows through the whole mask, mixed with intense blue tones, metallic effects and DaveArt 3-D FX that make the graphics jump out from the shell. From every angle, new layers and details appear — logos, lightning and hidden elements all working together in one high-speed design. 🔥

A mask created to look like it has been struck by lightning. ⚡🥅

Thank you Dennis for the trust and the awesome creative teamwork! 🙏🏻
