The Shipley’s Mural Is “Complete”

[maroonmadman]

That's taking abstract art to an extreme. That thing is fugly!

And I’m using “complete” very loosely:

The thing second to the left reminds me of the deformed guy who wanted to be a Spartan in "300".

Oh so apparently it’s supposed to be “impressionist” and if you don’t like it you just don’t get art.
I will say this, it definitely makes an impression.

I could sort of buy that it's stylized, but the nightmare faces should be on a 12 by 18 painting over the ******* or something. That's not something you put in a mural. It's going to give kids nightmares.

I mean, the AI art generator thing only did marginally worse...

and it only took a couple minutes.

Easy guys. That was 2021's championship, but they used 2022's effort.

Gotdamn. I laughed way too hard at this. Well done.

Who’s the fat black guy next to Dak?

Hode up - did the mural copy AI or did AI copy the mural?!

 

[Drebin]

I nominate Goat.

Strong.

The figure behind the tree looks like Ron Polk being played by E.T meeting the Stanford mascot. We have some crazy-*** murals in Hattiesburg (see below for one on Hardy near the zoo that is nuts), but congrats Starkvegas, you win with that one.

 

[WilCoDawg]

That’s how it looks to me as well.

 

[HotMop]

Who is the image on the far left supposed to be? He looks like a burn victim.

They didn't pay for this, did they?

 

[katfsh]

Look kids it’s Crack Prescott!

 

[dickiedawg]

According to the Facebook post they “contracted with a talented local artist” so I’m assuming that means payment.

#3 appears to be a midget in a very precarious position. Doesn’t Shipley’s know Henig played football and was #7?

Dak monstrosity made me think of this for some reason

reminds me of the entrance to a local Jamaican establishment, where one could score 1/8
of ganja from a 13 year old out back

 

[dawgtron]

Reminds me of that failed painting restoration a few years back

Ecce Hail State!

I kinda like it. Will probably get my wife to take a pic with me and kids in front of it next time we are in Starkville.
I’ll try to remember to post and encourage you to do the same. Also would be cool if people would take pics of some of the individuals featured and get them to autograph. No telling the value in years to come.

 

[HumpDawgy]

They need to plant more trees in front of it. One is not enough.

George Floyd?

This is probably what will happen—will become very popular because of how bad it is

Farish Street say, hold my beer....

 

[The Peeper]

Inquiring minds want to know if the "local talented artist" signed this piece? I'll check next time I drive by

 

[aTotal360]

Good news. There are more than needed changes to the originals to avoid trademark infringement.

You saw this on social media responses?

I hope they paid them in donuts. Anything else would be overpriced.

 

[harrybollocks]

That mural will destroy stereotypes about the exquisite aesthetic tastes and artistic talents of the local community.

This was all I could think when I saw it:

grow some Ivy on the wall, stat!

Who's the guy next to Sleepy Slater w the National Championship hat? Slurmz McKenzie?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

No way in hell those people really like this. This is not a “type of art” this a type of trash and furthermore is offensive to the people it is supposed to represent. I mean to call whoever did this talented is so unbelievably crazy. Literally anyone with a paint brush could have attempted this and would do a better job.

 

[tired]

I like their donuts

 

[The Peeper]

There it is folks, the first positive post in this whole thread. Give the man a bag of day old WalMart donuts please............

 

[GhostOfJackie]

It's Brian Haded isn't it?

Wait, for reals?
