The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

[shammack]

If we go over, we should get two of them, one with a plaque that says Jake Rodkin and another that says J Allard.

[subbes]

OK, so, basically, here's my idea for the add-on.

 

I would like to send a Nick Breckon portrait.  But here's the bit I hope is funny - I want the Nick Breckon portrait to be much, much, much smaller than the Video Games portrait.  

 

 

Like, postcard size.  Maybe, if I can find a place that will frame it and add a plaque, with a plaque that is bigger than the portrait itself.

 

 

Please tell me whether this is a funny idea.  I may actually be hysterical from being in a near-constant panic attack for approaching 100 hours now.

makes sense

 

i can paint a breckon if there is a good picture of one

[subbes]

If we go over, we should get two of them, one with a plaque that says Jake Rodkin and another that says J Allard.

 

If we go over by another $200, I can get a second one with a plaque, but the one I already ordered doesn't have a plaque and canvaspop doesn't offer them.

 

 

Blambo:  Nick basically looks like John Q Video Games.  

 

Which is odd, since Jake is Video Games, so Nick looks like John Q Jake Rodkin?

 

(Nick is quite a normal looking white guy with brown hair and is of medium build and height.)

 

 

 

In a previous edit I suggested Nick had brown eyes, but shammack (my husband) disagreed, saying Nick has blue eyes, and then - and this is the scary bit - said

 

I can check tomorrow at work

Here's two.

I prefer this one:

Oh, er, yeah, Shammack works at TTG so I'm guessing he'll go to work tomorrow and go over to Nick's desk and stand there for 5 minutes, just gazing into Nick's eyes

If he wants to take a bunch of pictures of Nick and then pin them all over a random wall, I'll pitch in for the yarn to tie between the pins.

[Justin Leego]

Yes. It would be funny.

(Should the thread name be changed to include C/FNB as well?)

[subbes]

Why?  It's not a gift to Nick...

[Ben X]

OK, so, basically, here's my idea for the add-on.

 

"Stretch-goal".

[Shibboleth]

If there is another painting can it it please include Kotick and Allard?

[Blambo]

so...

 

tinybreckon or rich uncle/cool uncle?

...or both?

[subbes]

I'm not sure what your question means, Blambo.

[Blambo]

Will "stretch goals" include a small portrait of Nick or large one of Kotick and Allard? I can do either

[subbes]

Unfortunately I can't find anywhere that can do my idea (take a digital image, print and frame it and add a plaque).

 

Small stretch:  Small Nick canvas - 10" h by 8" w:  $30 + s/h.  

I can increase the size of this if we pass $30, up to our...

 

Big stretch:  Kotick/Allard diptych.  The smallest size diptych available is 2 x 24"h by 18"w, and that's $125 without s/h.

[Brannigan]

obviously a painting of that picture of chris on wikipedia.

[subbes]

Aaag, project creep!

Nick, with Kotick and Allard behind him, each with a hand on each shoulder.

 

Giant plaque says 'Robert A. Kotick and J Allard'.

[TychoCelchuuu]

If I hadn't blown all of my "crazy Idle Thumbs forum projects" discretionary spending on hosting for my new website, I'd totally be chipping in to this amazing project.

Y'know the Sistine Chapel ceiling, right?  Basically, that, but with Bitcoin Idle Thumbs.

 

 

(Not really.)

[Blambo]

i can feel my hand cramping already

[tabacco]

For those who aren't aware, the one with the wine glass is a recreation of http://boardgamegeek.com/image/51969/die-weinhandler

[tegan]

I really hope they hang it up somewhere where, it's always visible in streams, like how Giant Bomb has a clearly-visible framed and edge-lit copy of this in every video where you see them on the couch.

Also, I wanna' try my hand at one of these now.

By the way

 

Brekon needs to be flipping off the viewer with both hands. Because.
