I'm Back (New Customs): 2015-16 Masks of the Times
Hello everyone,
I'm glad to be back again after a 2014-15 season that did not see any new custom projects by me. This left me with a passion and urge to make a new custom set (well, multiple ones, hehe) for the upcoming season, and finally, here it is.
I've called it 2015-16 Masks of the Times and it features some of the masks I believe have been the best and most memorable throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Some of my personal favourites such as Olaf Kolzig, Dominik Hasek, Roberto Luongo and Tuukka Rask are in it. As for the checklist, I've included it after these photos. I hope you enjoy.
01. Olaf Kolzig
02. Roberto Luongo
03. Tuukka Rask
04. Bob Essensa
05. Ed Belfour
06. Ryan Miller
07. Carey Price
08. Tomas Vokoun
09. Dominik Hasek
10. John Vanbiesbrouck
11. Patrick Lalime
12. Kari Lehtonen
13. Curtis Joseph
14. Corey Hirsch
15. Antero Niittymäki
16. Sean Burke
17. Felix Potvin
18. Grant Fuhr
The front features a design set in mostly black and grey tones. The mask makes an appearance on the right with a shadow version of the same mask (albeit from a different angle) on the left, with the card logo in the upper left hand corner. The card backs feature interesting information about the specific masks as well as quotes by goalies or mask painters, and website suggestions if you want to learn more about the paint jobs and mask artists.
Thank you very much for reading and I sincerely hope you've enjoyed the show. I always appreciate comments regarding my sets, so please feel free to take a moment to leave a comment.
Best regards,

Great set as always with your customs, but I agree with the above - should add Patrick Roy & Marty Brodeur as 19 and 20

Thanks for the comments. I was definitely looking into adding both Roy and Brodeur, but with close to no quality pictures of their masks from angles that I felt I could use, I decided not to include them. What made the search even trickier was that I now needed not one, but two high-quality pictures of their masks (from different angles) for the cards.

Before I even scrolled down to have a look I said to myself I sure hope he has Corey Hirsch mask in the set. That was easily my favourite mask back in the day. Nice job!

Thanks, Braden! It's nice to hear that there are more fans of Hirsch's mask out there! As a matter of fact Swedish artist airbrush David Gunnarsson even complimented it in an article on NHL.com not long ago.
I've really gotten into the hit TV series Bates Motel and I love all of Hitchcock's 'Psycho' movies, so Hirsch's mask was a perfect fit I think!
