FROM THE TV38 DEPARTMENT OF BLOCKHEAD OPERATIONS AND ANALYSIS
Do you wish Blockhead could attend your New Year's Eve event? We all do. Alas, he cannot make it to every party.
But now, thanks to the wonders of (
20-year-old) technology, you can pretend he did, and re-live events that never actually happened in real life! And better yet, it's easier than slipping on an icy sidewalk and falling on your face!
STEP ONE: GET PHOTOSHOP
...or any image-editing application.
Gimp is a free one you can download, but you probably already have one on your computer. Even
MS Paint will do (Warning: if you use MS Paint, you will be laughed at by nerds).
STEP TWO: DOWNLOAD BLOCKHEAD TOOLKIT
It includes several images of Blockhead for insertion into your own party snapshots in a variety of formats:

STEP THREE: INSERT BLOCKHEAD INTO YOUR PHOTO
Use the image editing software mentioned in step one (1) to insert the Blockhead image mentioned in step two (2). Several whimsical examples of this can be found in the photos on the right. Feel free to manipulate the Blockhead images as much as you need to so that Blockhead is fully integrated into the scene. You might even want to replace someone's head with Blockhead's head. (Warning: that last sentence refers to the photo ONLY. If you attempt to replace someone's head in real life, you could get arrested.)
Also, please keep it clean. There are plenty of embarrassing photos of Blockhead floating around without your contribution.
STEP FOUR: SHARE YOUR CREATION
Once you have created your Blockhead-related masterpiece, go to the
Blockhead Photoshop Challenge File Uploader and send it to us. We'll pick the best ones and put them on TV38 (step 5)! Not only will you impress fellow Blockhead fans, but you'll help convince Blockhead that he has an actual social life.
STEP FIVE: WATCH TV38
We'll choose the best Blockhead mashups and put them on TV38 in the form of IDs (those station identifiers you see in the commercial breaks). So keep watching to see if we choose yours!
