As strange things have been abound in this year's NHL playoffs, and unexpected teams have excelled, I find myself wondering if things could have turned out a little different for the Vancouver Canucks. A first place team that takes an early exit in the first round is always examined under a microscope, but I pose the simple question. What if there were three Sedins? What if little known triplet Gunther was thrown into the mix. Would their brand of finesse hockey and telepathic communication, along with three pairs of icy Norse eyes have formed the ultimate NHL line and been enough to carry the Canucks to the cup? Maybe, just maybe.

I thought I would have some fun and explore what the bench might look like with Sedin triplets, in a simple woodcut sort of style. The basics were drawn out first, coloured in Illustrator and then texturized in Photoshop.

Here's an editorial illustration for an article about what happens when you team up with your spouse as workout buddies and one of you happens to be more enthusiastic than the other. Sabotage! I've also included the process work as well...showing that from thumbnail to final artwork the idea was pretty clear. Done for a full page, in ink and digital
