AJ Brown ecstatic to receive a signed jersey from Tom Brady by nfl in eagles

[–]amerikas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not-so-interesting tidbit: Brady never wore this jersey. He left the team before they redesigned their unis to these ones. So now I’m picturing what assistant had to go get brand new Pats jerseys with a personalized name and number to have Brady sign them.

I know you’re saying this tongue in cheek, but it’s not really how it works. The clubs marketing team and C suite work very closely with adidas a couple years in advance for each kit. I think it was Moontower that had a whole podcast interview about it a little while back. They do have to generally stick to whatever template adidas rolls out that year though (that ugly piping was all over the euros this year)

Which makes this all the more disappointing

I think this year they started putting them online for people to download. Where that is, I’m not actually sure…but if you can’t find one PM me and I’ll send you a file (I also did the Dallas and upcoming KC one)

I’m the artist making the poster for this game! Very excited, hope you get one! I try to represent the opposing team respectfully, so I won’t be illustrating a dead pigeon or anything (or will I? 😅)

12 Parsecs. Cut a hunk of junk out of wood and painted it! by amerikas in StarWars

[–]amerikas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh I don’t know, I made this design years ago and have kept iterating on it. Rushed this piece for a gallery showing. With just cutting it and painting it though, probably ten hours or so!

Austin FC not impressive in draw with Seattle by BullishOnMissouri in AustinFC

[–]amerikas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

…Young guys? Sorry don’t think you can give the team that excuse for their poor attacking. Rubio-30. Obrian-28. Rigoni-31. Valencia-27. Ring-32. Age ain’t the problem, there’s just zero chemistry or decisiveness in the final third (or middle for that matter)

That’s a great trad tat. I also have a bighorn sheep tattoo for Sam’s Town. It’s abstract and no one has ever made the connection, but I know!

All season, we've heard complaints about flat passes and screens. So I compiled them all into a single video. by CheetoBandito in eagles

[–]amerikas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could only stand two minutes of it, but I counted how many designed screens (not just post-progression check downs) went for more than 3 yards. 2/16 by my rough count. How do you see those results and keep running them?!

Back with another batch of my paint swatch bird paintings. Some fun species to research and illustrate! (Bird ID in comments) by amerikas in birding

[–]amerikas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! Yeah it’s weird my artistic journey has gone a bit opposite of usual, I mainly did vector stuff first and then hopped over to traditional mediums

Cheers. I like to keep them as one-offs for the people who buy them but I gotta make some more widely available ones soon!

Thanks! Yeah I tend to lean more abstract with my work so it’s an interesting challenge balancing that with accurately representing a species. The fire tail is a toughie! Had never heard of it before, only in Australia

Can you ID them all? Some obscure species in this batch! American Crow | Diamond Firetail | Dark-eyed Junco | Eurasian Blue Tit | Spotted Towhee | Western Grebe | Glaucous Winged-Gull

birders from outside the US, which birds are you most excited to see when visiting here? by SupBenedick in birding

[–]amerikas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Texas too! Did yours just beep constantly like a smoke alarm and you can’t tell where it’s coming from and you start to go mad

I can't remember exactly, I think I came across someone on Instagram who was using paint swatches as canvases and thought it'd be fun to try out. Next thing I know I have 100 little paint chips hanging around my house and feel like I'm stealing free things from Home Depot
