Hussas


The Story: My brother in law and his younger brother both had big events this spring/summer.  Billy Hussa was turning the big 3-0, and Mike Hussa "Mook" was getting hitched.  Both guys are sports fans, and aging athletes.  Billy still plays adult league hockey, and Mike still plays adult league baseball...both of them try so hard to re-live those "glory days" when they were hitting the 5 hole, slugging homers, and not planning weddings or wiping the boogie noses of kids and nephews/nieces.  To help them into the era of "not as good as I once was, but as good as I once was" we made them these two parting shots.

The Posters: Mook's poster centers on his baseball prowess.  Mike is a catcher, so he didn't really work as one of the Major League main characters, but he worked as an additional character.  We put his groomsmen in as three of the players on the Indians, and we also were able to use his wife as the "you guys suck" owner who was posterized by the manager (Mr. Hussa).

Billy's hockey poster features his best buddies from college, his three sons (Who I picture as the Hanson Triplets) and his Brother.  This was a challenge because the Slap Shot poster is an off orange color and it has a cartoonish look to it.  I was able to color the faces of his entourage and use the features of photoshop to add the cartoon look to them as well.  I think it blends well.
