Chris Levis, a professional lacrosse goalie for the Edmonton Rush came to me with an idea in mind. Chris wanted to highlite the team he played for but he also wanted the mask to reflect his native heritage. Considering North American natives invented the game of lacrosse, we airbrushed historical images of these early lacrosse players onto the sides of the mask. I asked Chris if he wanted his name or nickname on the chin but he opted for the team logo instead…a true team player.


This mask was created for Jeff, a customer who plays for a team called the Penetrators. The Penetrators play to raise funds for Cancer. The pink theme reflects the teams jersey color as well as the pink ribbon for cancer. Jeff’s a big General Lee fan so I added it front and center at the top. The Pink Panther and “Nana” (Jeff’s Grandma) on the the left, Jessica Rabbit and Jeff’s number 31 on the right, and the Penetrators “P” logo on the chin complete the mask. I added the metalic silver around the edges to tie the design together and soften the overall saturation of color. Purple was used for shadows to add depth and contrast.
