This Kevin Weekes mask was worn during the entire 2005-2006 season. The mask exhibits moderate to heavy use and has paint chippings that are easily photo matched to various photos. This mask had a small TV camera placed in the chin, so that TV viewers could see the game from Kevin's perspective.

About the paint job:
This mask was painted by Dave Gunnarsson of DaveArt for Kevin Weekes. Here is some information from David about his design for this particular Kevin Weekes Mask

"Kevin is always very involved in the creation of his mask designs, which David really enjoys. Here the lines in the panthers have been simplified to make them more distinct, and then the panthers are coming up like transformers from the buildings in the New York skyline! The skyline has also been painted more distinct, almost Gotham City style, with curved lines giving a cool depth to the whole together with the starry sky! The shadow painting behind the panthers is also painted in a more sophisticated way to get even more depth.

To really bring out the New York spirit in the design an apple is painted on the forehead, New York that is called The Big Apple... Also check out the glitter in the apple, it's shaped as a Stealth plane, Kevin's favorite plane that you can check out and read about on his former Rangers mask!

The cage is placed in blue with red tones, this ties the design together in a perfect way. And all tones in the mask design are painted with powerful metallic colors giving a great shimmer. Another cool connection with the apple is the link to Wilhelm Tell."
