Something we've been planning for the Cubs Convention for some time now is that we are going to take some of the more popular GROTA photoshops - which I will create more of, I promise - and distribute them for free to the people at the Con.
The problem with this plan is that the images are all way, waaaay too small (except, perhaps, for Che Zambrano, which was designed large for a t-shirt.) You probably don't know this - nor do you likely care - but to create a photo-worthy image, one must make it pretty darn big, which is why I'm in the process of doing "recreations." The first recreation I did was Scarlos, and this is what the Convention version will look like:
And even that image was cut in half to fit on the webpage. My current hopes are to get that image in the hands of Carlos Zambrano, if only because he might be really, really amused.
Other images currently planned for recreation include Brokearm Mountain, the Crippled Walking Bear, Ernie Bartman, perhaps Che Zambrano, maybe the Freddie Bynum homerun shot, and I don't know what else. (Here are the images in question:)
The other problem with most of our other photoshops is that they are too negative. Not that I think it's our fault. The Cubs gave us little to feel positive about last year, and that was reflected in the images we created. Therefore, I'm opening this thread to suggestions - but make 'em quick, we need to have 10 photoshops ready to go by tomorrow night.
Feel free to suggest here what the photoshops should be. Of the images listed above, should some of them not make the cut? Are there any players attending the Convention who you would like to see immortalized? Let us know!
