Anyone else see the weird trident for the Canadiens logo at first?

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Alrighty then

Good concept but terrible execution. The Thunderbird just looks weird.

I just see a blank white screen!

 

[MarkusKetterer]

I just see a blank white screen!

It was a Thunderbird on top, and the Canucks logo on the side. Done in the Haida style (and in Canucks colours), except the bird ended up looking completely goofy. The best way to describe it was it looked like it had a drunk smile.

No apologies coming up for these masks (except maybe for those who don't like anything DaveArt does)

 

[JianYang]

This might be an example that Dave art is able to keep things clean.

Perhaps those busy looking masks he often comes out with are more a reflection of what his clients are looking for than anything else.

I really like this one.

It doesn't work for me. Looks like some mash up of the habs and nordiques, which is like oil and water.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Outside of lens flares, Dave's most annoying trait is putting faded mini team logos all over a mask just because he doesn't know the value of having clean space.

 

[Metroid]

Is it only the one guy Dave that does all the masks?
If so, why? If I was a goalie and everyone used Dave, I'd find someone else lol

I see 2 angry gophers crashing through ice

There are a few that don’t. Off the top of my head Vasilevskiy does not and I believe Miller is still with Ray Bishop.

Without looking it up....(okay maybe I did)

Tuukka Rask, Marc-Andre Fleury, Craig Anderson, Connor Hellebuyck, Carter Hart, Corey Crawford, Martin Jones, Mike Smith, Matt Murray, Pavel Francouz, Triatan Jarry, Carter Hutton, Anthon Khudobin and Thomas Greiss are the only NHL goalies that don't currently use or havne't in the past used DaveArt.

The real ones right there mate.

And Dave is way more successful then all of those "artists" combined, so it's painfully clear what the actual customer wants, and that's what DaveArt provides.

Pretending he's isn't an artist, because he makes masks to order with the elements his customers wants is a bizarre stance.

I'd be careful to measure an artist by "success", especially given the subjectivity of art (Read up on "Fettecke" by Joseph Beuys, here's a link for your convenience: Fettecke - Wikipedia).

I have yet to see someone who denies the Dave is someone who knows how to draw/airbrush.

The problem most of those in this thread have with his work is his horrible sense of composition.
It's been said ad absurdum that Dave appears to not know when to stop and almost throughout the bench his most liked works are the ones where he keeps it simple. That's all, and that's why his work is generally disliked by hockey fans.

But since hockey fans don't pay his bills it doesn't really matter to him... so we are stuck complaining about his terrible masks and he is stuck making horrible masks while cashing in... win-win.

There's a world of difference between disliking his compositions and the idiotic claims that he is not an artist.

Good gawd....just when you think DaveArt masks can't get any worse...

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

I can get down with this one.



Although, you can always count on Dave's description of "when you get closer"...... He wants you to examine the artwork up close.

 

[yukoner88]

I just came by to say yeah or neigh to some masks. That Washington one is ok

 

[Treb]

This thread and the other locked one proved you cannot discuss Holtby's mask without breaking rules. If you want to have a discussion about culture appropriation, white privilege and stuff, take it to Twitter.

Since art is extremely subjective both can be considered right though depending on who espouses the opinion. To many he's an artist, to others he's a "paint by numbers" sort of guys. I wouldn't get too caught up on labeling Dave one way or another.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Cool design. Hopefully he consulted with a Satanist, first.

In all seriousness, it actually looks like they just put Red Skull's face on a Devils' themed mask.

 

[Dexter Colt]

That is amazing. This reminds me of Trevor Kidd and one of the coolest masks in the late 90's.
