Warning: Blair Rebounding (Wallpaper)

by Aaron "Hirschof" Preine on Nov 17, 2009 4:24 PM CST

Ever since Jalberto showed up, I've been suffering from the photoshop equivalent of penile inadequacy and shame (thanks a bunch...).

Hirschof on that fateful day.

I went through all of the stages of grief: Denial, anger, binge drinking, depression, more anger, listening to Linkin Park, and reluctant acceptance. Now its finally time to move forward. I think I'm ready.

In an attempt to prove my myself to be somewhat worthy to step onto the same digital block as Jal, I present, Warning: Blair Rebounding.

1600 x 1200

1280 x 1024

1024 x 768

Background:Last week, BSPN was going over the top NBA rookies. Mentioned (briefly) was DeBeast and mixed into the 20-25 second highlight package was a series of vicious rebounds and aggressive put-backs.

The ~~boy~~ ~~man~~ beast needs a warning label. So I started to make something that youmight see on a hot iron, a cup of McDonald's coffee, or your wife's sister (or your husband's brother). While browsing google for texture images, I came across a warning with a long stick figure in falling motion. Sound familiar?

Blair's Ippon Seoi Nage needs work but I'm sure as hell not going to tell him...

ANYWAYS. From that point on I started working on a street warning sign. For your game thread posting pleasure...

From there I thought I could work that into a wallpaper and now here I am (submitting this nonsense to you). Many thanks to BlaseE who critiqued the living hell out of my work and offered a few suggestions that immediately found their way into the final result. Much appreciation.

Thank you.

Currently using it, and I hadn’t switched my work wallpaper since I made the radar one. I like the fonts by the way.

The sizes are screwed up. I’ll fix it in a minute.

I like it – the look of the cracked pavement is cool, and the sign is great. I might print it and make a sticker out of it to wear to a game!

You should tweet this to him. He would be tickled.

Not sure if I want to create an account just to tweet this to him. Wouldn’t mind someone else doing it though.

Love it! I might submit it to FHWA and see if we can get it into the next edition of the MUTCD, because Blair is a danger to others.

Otstanding. The sign alone is worthy of Blair’s monstrosity on the boards.

Excellent work.
