[Albion] New Bruno Muriel

[Brightonfan1983]

The artist has got some good stuff on his Twitter page https://twitter.com/glimmertwin32 , and can do good things with light and shade -

but like JMW Turner, can't really do faces...

I know this is the least of the worries but the mixed capitalisation and lower case lettering on the "Once A seaGull, ALways A seaGull" messes with my brain. And typing that has also probably messed with my predictive text too.

On the up side, they might win Sky Arts portrait of the year. Because that is the kind of picture they coo over. Which is why I stopped watching, before I punched my TV.

 

[HantsSeagull]

that is shocking - why wouldn't you just re-employ the original artist?

I did not realise Will Self has played for Brighton

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I recognise that handiwork

 

[Munkfish]

Jesus christ this is so dogshit its funny top effort from the artist on the shittest effort going.

Reminds me when you see a dodgy copied tattoo the pro and the amateur. Did no one think to check if he was any good before.

No wonder Bruno took the long throws, his forearms are so long.
He would look like an extra from Planet of the Apes if they were down by his side.

I’m surprised the artist left their tag, I can’t recognise that face, even the Seagull looks like a dove!

 

[Notters]

Not quite as good as the original. Is that brewdog?

Northern Star (RIP) int it?

 

[Brovion]

Why is everyone assuming it's a picture of Bruno? There's no name on it. I'll concede it does a little bit like him, maybe the artist thinks that's what he'll look like if he captains the side after the zombie apocalypse?

EDIT: And where's that thread on graffiti tagging? On that thread most of us liked street art but thought random tagging defaced our lovely old buildings and is the equivalent of littering. I've just changed my mind. Come on you taggers, you know you want to.

With practice he might get better but it's shocking that he's getting paid for his efforts in a city teeming with world class graffiti artists.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I think it is abysmal.

Paint over it with the previous Bruno design.

This atrocious artwork is by GlimmerTwin who is a street artist that does a lot of the green cable boxes around town: https://twitter.com/glimmertwin32. Please tell me someone is going to fix it up and not leave it looking like that.

 

[blue'n'white]

Hideous. Did he do it from memory or from the worst photo anyone ever took of Bruno ?

 

[BN9 BHA]

With practice he might get better but it's shocking that he's getting paid for his efforts in a city teeming with world class graffiti artists.

Wouldn't happen in Bristol

 

[Insel affe]

Embarrassing.....

 

[JBD]

Can't believe they signed it.

That is truly shocking. In some ways I find it quite disrespectful. Surely they could have found an artist to paint the muriel? There are some brilliant street artists in Brighton so I don't understand why they picked somebody so devoid of artistic skill or talent.

Bloody hell, it's nightmarish. I hope somebody - anybody - gets it covered up before Bruno gets to see it.
