The Iron Curtain

H/t to Gary (a.k.a. xiix and designer of Pick SPG) for the fine work on the above, and if any of you artistes have any work of your own to display, send it my way and you might find it hanging in the Louvre that is Japers' Rink.

it could get a lot more interesting if he changed his name back to ‘semen’.

Here’s a portion of an interview with Varlomov where he discusses his mask.

“Chesnokov: Varlamov kept packing his gear in the bag himself. I haven’t seen anyone packing their own bags. He told me: "See my helmet? Too bad I haven’t had time to have the paintwork done.”

Varlamov, not Varlomov. Mea Culpa.

Theme for Varlamov's mask

What if you did a “Russia/Washington together” theme? Like half the mask has a Russian theme to it and the other half has a Washington theme, and they meet with the weagle in the middle? I dunno, I’m no artist, but I think that somehow it has to take from the idea of the Russia/Capitals connection.

He actually had a mask like that. One side had the Capitol building, the other a building in Russia. It had the old Caps logo, so that’s probably why he’s not using it now.

One side of the mask can be seen here.

Look mom, no eyes!

Has no one else noticed that his eyes are clutched shut in this photo?
