Ok, so I'm ready to hit the hay, but I wanted to get this wallpaper up for those of you already looking forward to Saturday.  Hope you enjoy it!  I'll try to post a mobile version soon.  Additionally, I will attempt to get another wallpaper for February up before Saturday.  As always, I welcome constructive criticism and/or large sums of money.

Go Blue!

I posted this on Wallpaper Season for January, but I wasn't sure if you ever saw it. Anyway, after seeing the Maize and Blue Canadian flag in the stands, I had the idea for a wallpaper of a Maize and Blue Canadian flag with Stauskas either shooting that pretty jumper or one of his GAME BLOUSES dunks in front of the flag. I don't have the skills to pull of a quality look for it, but I thought maybe you would like to take the idea and run with it. Provided you have time to do so. Just an idea and hopefully it's one you like and can do something with. Keep up the stellar work sir!

For some reason, I couldn't find a high-quality dunk picture (for a high-res desktop wallpaper), so I went with this medium-quality picture.  Hopefully, you still enjoy it.

What I meant was that it was oddly difficult to find a good higher-res Stauskas picture.  If you can find me something high-res, I will work it in.  In the meantime, I thought the #1 picture was appropriate.

Love the wallpaper and thank you very much for doing it! These two are about the only decent high-res Stauskas pictures I could find:

Good work, but I still like your December one the best so far!

Maybe it's because I normally put the wallpaper up on my work computer, but I like the clean, crisp look a lot better than the cartoony look of this one.

I don't know what it is about the basketball ones that just don't do it for me as much as the football ones. I think it is the more cartoonish feel the basketball ones have. Definitely good work regardless, since no one's paying you to do this. Plus it's harder to find a concept to incorporate from opponents because there's multiple each week. I loved the ones with the tiny train coming out of the tunnel, the corn cob with the winged helmet and the huskie puppy peeing itself. Classics!

Nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes...and fuck Ohio.
