blacklab can't own anything now so saith the court.

"The Longhorns" by Dobie had some amazing Tom Lea illustrations that would translate well into a simple graphic design. Will post some but they're fucking impossible to find online.

Sweet!

Please activate a dark/night theme...this white page is shitty! 

No racist. 

Also, can we get a legit favicon for the webpage?

Dark theme and nicer favicon! If these two are figured out...there might not be a need for tapa.

Another Tom Lea work that could be integrated into a banner or something. It was commissioned by the government during the New Deal so I think it's public domain.

Cool to see that posted here. I did a little bit of animation using that painting for a PBS show a couple years ago.

That red eyed one looks damn surly to me.

He's also ripped AF. New strength and conditioning coach?

Yeah, I was wondering if it's too intense. I like it but I'm not 100% sure it fits the character of the board.

nice. Can you come up with a great looking font for the surly horns next to it?

can someone make a favicon.ico for the site?

Yeah. I'll do that and then maybe make it a bit less distressed.

Are you sure we're not fucking sinister vigilantes? There are some pretty hot vigilantes out there.

Could be something a bit more lighthearted too.

It would be great for matching tatoos before we all head up on our bikes to Twin Peaks in Waco.

We need a longhorn with a Come and Take It cannon

I just posted this in the tapa thread before realizing the original graphic always here:

I have a graphic/shirt request. I like the punisher stylized longhorn and it would make a great shirt. However, there is a poster here (I forget who) that has an similar graphic for his avatar that is the Danzig skull stylized with longhorns with “TEXAS” in the Danzig font. Would be great if that was redone in illustrator so we could make shirts out of that. Would look nice with out shag...er, Surly coaching caps we did last year.

For reference:

Well, maybe yeah, but what if people see us as outcasts, unfettered by the rules of other message boards...they look over and see our version of the Jolly Roger and they know shit is about to go down?

As an aside, if photos are wanted for graphics, I would let these be used.

That would be Drifter, the trucker. I think he may have already contacted his douchebag Hahvahd lawyer.

I actually like the distressed version better for a top of the page logo (though it probably won't work as well for shrinking into a favicon).

This. I really like this. Surly, but not overly demonic like the earlier version (current tapa version).

And I told you all I'd vouch for Xminus6. He does great work and highly recommend him if you're looking for a logo.
