Bure art

Pavel Bure is now in the Hockey Hall of Fame and in honour of his incredible accomplishment, nine of you paid tribute to the Russian Rocket through art.

Click here to see the submissions, there are some fantastic tributes, including the photo above by DanielleSanders.

I was able to ‘borrow’ an extra program from the Hockey Hall of Fame Legends Classic game, and that prize goes to randomly selected art maker kendallion! Congrats.

Mission: art Bure

This weekend Pavel Bure and three others will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, joining 366 players, builders and on-ice officials in the shrine.

“It’s an amazing honour,” Bure will likely say, “but it would be even better if Fort Nucks ran an art contest to honour my time in Vancouver,” he likely wouldn’t add.

Your pretend wish is our command Mr. Russian Rocket.

It’s time for another Fort Nucks deviantArt contest, this time dedicated to Pavel Bure, which I’m sure you gathered.

Next, gather your art supplies and get moving. Due to the tight turnaround of Canucks.com just recently getting the green light to cover the Bure induction and the actual ceremony going down next Monday, there’s no time to waste.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: art Bure in whatever way, shape or form lets you pay tribute to the most exciting player in Canucks history. What was it about Bure that set him apart from others? Whatever it was for you, make it come to life through cartoons and comics, digital art, drawings, paintings, or others.

The fine print:

1. Sign up for a free deviantArt account, then join #VancouverCanucks page on deviantArt.

2. Create a fabulous work of art. As mentioned, cartoons and comics, digital art, drawings, paintings, or others, are all welcome. Submit said art to the #VancouverCanucks page (click gallery, go into the contest folder titled: Contest – Hall of Fame Bure, then click submit).

3. That’s it. (Contest is open to new and existing members)

The contest begins today, November 6th, and runs until Sunday, November 11th. We’re hoping to secure a prize for this contest from the Hockey Hall of Fame banquet itself, but as of now you are submitting art to submit art.

Truthfully, I’m hoping to show Bure a few of the submissions and have him pick his favourite.

The winner, who may or may not receive a prize, will also be inducted into the Fort Nucks Art Hall of Fame, alongside Shan317, kkylasmithh, ArtAngelo and peanutjester.

A Map of Lou

I was cruising through the #VancouverCanucks page on deviantArt this morning when I came across the above image by *seanpt. As someone commented, it is both amazing and terrifying!

Art attack

It’s summer, the sun is out and the great outdoors are calling!

Don’t answer the phone.

If you go outside you’ll need sunscreen and bug spray and snacks and a new swimsuit – ain’t nobody got time for that.

Why not spend some time inside this summer and win a Vancouver Canucks team-signed stick?

(Drum roll please…)

It’s time for another Fort Nucks deviantArt contest!

(…pause for applause)

Your mission is simple: be as creative as freakin’ possible and put your heart and soul into a piece that best represents the theme Canucks in the Summer. That will mean something different to everyone and that’s awesome because there’s no right or wrong, just amazing art.

The fine print:

1. Sign up for a free deviantArt account, then join #VancouverCanucks page on deviantArt.

2. Create a fabulous work of art that fits into either cartoons and comics, digital art, drawings, paintings, or others, and submit it to the #VancouverCanucks page (click gallery, go into the contest folder titled: Contest – Canucks in the Summer, then click submit).

3. That’s it. (Contest is open to new and existing members)

The contest begins today, June 11th, and runs until July 11th. Hurry up and submit your art, or take your time sending it in, it’s up to you. Just know that after the deviantArt members vote to determine the Final 5, a secret panel of Canucks Employee Judges will determine the Grand Pooh-Bah Champion of the Art World.

The winner will also be inducted into the Fort Nucks Art Hall of Fame, alongside Shan317, kkylasmithh and ArtAngelo.
