You're all good people, and I've never asked for anything before - excluding, of course, my initial request to Dirtywater for my signature plank, which I don't think anyone could ever top. Barbaro, the young champion thoroughbred racehorse, appears to be headed for a premature, but humane, death. Breaks my heart. I was hoping that someone could take a stab at an avatar that I could wear for a while in tribute. I was thinking something with his headshot, and an insert of his KY Derby race (see below), but I'm no expert in the stuff. Whatever you think looks nice. I can't think of any words that would be appropriate, but "Barbaro" understated somewhere in it might be appropriate, no? I defer to the expert eye of the artist. Anyway, could someone take a stab at this sometime in the near future? More than one person is okay, but I don't want to choose between PS nerds. If not, I might just take some time this weekend and see exactly how difficult my overpriced Photoshop program is. Thanks guys and girl.
You better put a name tag on him or else people won't know who the heck it is. if it is Barbaro or Mr. Ed. alright alright im done...
Is it Mr. Ed or Barbaro or Secretariat or Go For Wand or Swale or ..... Maybe its all of them mixed together???
I am by no means a nerd. I was the guy that used to beat the hell out of the nerds... I get drunk on weekends and party hard. However, I am an avid racehorse fan, and I was absolutely broken hearted when I witnessed him getting held up. I am still too upset to talk about the news. I love horses, and I love horse racing and it is an absolute sin what happened. In light of the fact that you refer to us as nerds, Sunday Jack, because we share a common bond of horses and racing, and the distraught feelings over Barbaro, here you go. I know I didn't use the images you wanted, at least the head shot, but I feel this is more powerful. If you want it altered, let me know. I'm easy going when it comes to these things, and I'll change it however you want. Hope you like it, and please God let him live. The background is a little stronger on the first one, but I dont know if it takes away from Barbaro. Let me know
Beautiful job, Crazy...a very touching tribute to a very special horse. Please God, let him make it and live a happy, pampered life.
But nerds are such lovable creatures. Wow. This was a nice surprise to start the new work week. Many thanks, crazy. They're both very well done. And so, Chief Jack Red Cloud will be put on the shelf for the time being, and replaced with a champion horse. I imagine the good Chief would be pretty okay with that. Still, I feel just a little guilty that I didn't give the warrior chief more than a week or so before replacing him, so I'm posting him up here one last time. He'll return in good time. Again, can't thank you enough, crazy. Great stuff.
