Saul Bass & DIY Painted Cornhole

For Christmas this year, my brother gave everyone in the family a custom set of Cornhole boards (Bean Bag Toss,  Corn Toss, Baggo, not sure what you call it.)

He built them from regular 1/2" ply and 2"x4"s and I think it is one of the coolest gifts ever. (Build Your Own Cornhole Board Tutorial)  Even though I live in New England and had to wait over five months to consider using them.  :)

Now that we are in full swing of Yard Game Season, I decided to finally paint the boards.


Being a movie fan AND a serious admirer of Saul Bass' graphic designs from the 50's/60's, I decided on replicating some Saul Bass Movie Posters.   

I sanded them down, primed them, and used 8oz sample paints from Home Depot.  

I'm really diggin the way they turned out and considering hanging one or two in the house.

LawnGames-cum-WallArt.  How Utilitarian!  :)
