Instant classic: Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller’s Movember mask

"Airxess came up with the idea, as we needed a game-used Hiller mask that would later be for sale because of the big demand. Hiller came up with the Movember idea himself, so as always, he gave us the input, and I had to create the design. Besides the concept, the whole testing to place all the portraits on the mask (it's not only done by airbrush) and the painting itself I have done, while Dan "The Man" gave the mask a nice flat finish and left some parts shiny." [...]

"I used the style of moustache seen on the Movember website, but in a completely different technique as other airbrushed masks out there. It must be visible that the moustaches are painted with an edding that people can see is added afterwards, just like the guys growing their own moustaches. Each player has a different look, as usual."

"I just wanted to do something different," Hiller said. " I talked to my painter and he said, 'Yeah, what do you think? We should just do a couple of masks this year. I sent him the whole theme about Movember and guys growing a mustache.

"He said, Oh yeah, let's do something like that. And that's what he came up with. I think it's definitely funny."

Toni Lydman gave his image a big thumbs-up. "I wish I could grow it like that," he said. "It would be the look. Very nice."

As far as his defense partner, Lubomir Visnovsky, Lydman said, "He looks like a Frenchman. He looks like he should be sitting by the water reading poetry wearing one of those hats and have that long thing that holds a cigarette."
