Hi guys,
My name is Dion Griarte from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
Playing with a white mask was supper boring and lame! I found it way too difficult to decide what I want painted on my mask. After sipping on a few of my favourite Canadian beer, I quickly decided to paint my mask in tribute to my favourite beer Steam whistle! Why!? Because I play beer league hockey. Beer league hockey + beer mask = unbeerlievable!
I quicky called my friends down at steam whistle and they hooked me up with Rob Taylor who paints their retro vehicles. He painted it by hand. He is a very talented guy from Niagara falls, ON and is also diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Which makes this piece of art so much more meaningful with an outcome like this.
Thanks for taking interest!
