Jacob Trouba has been putting his gear (and talent) to use this offseason bu making some amazing artwork!



Source is his instagram: https://instagram.com/jacobtrouba?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Always cool to see players sharing their creative pursuits. I hope he discusses more about his art and processes.

    Typo in title – should say by not bu

  2. yooooooo5774

    good for him though, but “Amazing Artwork” is pretty subjective

  3. psyopsono

    Trouba seems like a pretty intelligent guy tbh, he doesn’t have the brute brain that you’d associate with someone similar like, say, Scott Stevens. I mean, fuck him, but he’s interesting.

    The first one looks like the Brume Tower from Dark Souls 2. Probably not the intent, but it’s cool regardless

  5. seraphultima

    Honestly these are rad as hell and show a legitimate understanding of art fundamentals like colour theory and negative space. I’d be interested to know if he had any sort of formal training in the past while at school.

    10 years ago hockey heads would be like “He has a hobby? HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT HOCKEY.”

    Thank god times have changed. Hell, it’s like 60% of why Zbad is a Ranger.

  7. To do all that with his elbow is impressive.

    The post mentions that there are 8 in total. The first one with the blue is my personal favorite, but I’m excited to see more!

    Love Troubs. Aside from hockey, guy is just a nice as fuck cool ass dude dude.

    These are cool. I always find it really interesting when hockey players are into artistic stuff, because it’s not super common. I know Denis Potvin was really into art and literature and his teammates thought he was weird for it lol.

    This is what his victims see after being hit in the head.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Trouba auctioned some of these for charity through the Garden of Dreams Foundation, he’s extremely wholesome off the ice

    Need his artwork to enter a Museum and for Dougie Hamilton to then go visit it.

    “Just stick to hockey!”

    “We get it! You don’t have to rub our faces in it”

    And other things Reddit will say to LGBTQ posts here, but not about Troubas art.

  15. AostheGreat

    I feel like I should compliment this sick as hell art, but that would cause me to compliment Jacob Trouba.

    Hmmm…

    I’ve got it!

    Trouba seems to be just as good at art as he is at laying dirty hits.

    There we go!

    And doing everything he can to make sure opponents can’t form passions and hone skills in their own life after hockey.

  17. That’s the splat players make on the ice after a Trouba high hit.

    In all seriousness, it’s cool to see players pursue non hockey or sport related hobbies

  18. 2-EZ-4-ME

    not sure why this is considered amazing, I mean it looks like the same type of art elephants do but they’re animals. I guess they do have the same iq…

  19. Reminds me of that Metal Gear Solid 2 style of artwork. Very cool.
