Brent Johnson ~ Led Zeppelin T-Shirt
#MaskWeek
I have declared this week #MaskWeek as I will be unveiling a NHL goalie mask each day this week.
An empty feeling sits in the bottom of my stomach as the realization of this year’s Mask Week is nearing an end. As I begin to look forward I find myself asking myself what will next year bring? I’m sure there are surprises in store for all of us, including me.
In all seriousness #MaskWeek ended up taking on a life of its own and it is very likely to trend on Twitter with today’s mask (please help by including #MaskWeek in your tweets). Before we get to today’s unveiling let’s take a step back and recap the week that was #MaskWeek 2012:
- Day 1 – Carey Price’s ‘Concept’ Mask
- Day 2 – Mike Smith’s ‘Coyote II’ Mask (spoiler alert – Wile E. Coyote got his revenge!)
- Day 3- Antti Niemi’s ‘Haka Shark’ Mask
Mask Week 2012 concludes with a bang as I present to you the psychedelic-mesmerizing-retro-collage that is Brent Johnson’s helmet for the Pittsburgh Penguins third uniforms.
Mask Week Instalment #4: Brent Johnson ~ Led Zeppelin Concert T-Shirt
Led Zeppelin themes have been staple of Johnny’s masks ever since our first collaboration.
The latest mask contains imagery inspired by a Led Zeppelin concert t-shirt. I blended this imagery into an integrated unit, then overlayed the dark and powder blue colours from the Pittsburgh Penguins’ third jerseys.
The cage, Penguins logo and Zeppelin ‘Four Symbols’ use the accent colour also found on the Pens jerseys.
When I spoke to Johnny today about the mask his immediate response was:
F***ING AWESOME!
The is the 6th mask I have created for Johnny, here are the previous masks in case you are interested in taking a walk down Led Zep tribute mask memory lane:
I hereby declare #MaskWeek officially closed for 2012…
