Karlsson Sketch

Are you missing Erik Karlsson? Still coming to terms with his injury? Unsure how to process your disappointment and anger? I was pretty bummed out when Karlsson went down. And because I'm a nerd, I turned to art. I've always been interested in fandom and its various forms of expression and for me this means drawing and painting. I've shared my work with you in the past and its even reached the wider Sens community - which was awesome.

What other Sens-related art projects do I have planned? I am currently working on a Chris Phillips painting, a commemorative work celebrating his 1000th NHL game in 2012. It's half done and hopefully I'll be able to complete it before the end of the month. Now that I've finished the Karlsson sketch, I'd like to start a drawing of Daniel Alfredsson.

What about you? How do you express your fandom? Maybe you're a crafter? Perhaps you quilt? Maybe you've knit the most awesome sweater in all of fandom? Have you baked a Sens-themed birthday cake? Decorated your house for the playoffs? Made a sign or banner to take to a game?
