Some not so good scrolls in Tucson, AZ

DakotaDocMartin · Sep 29, 2015

One of my former classmates from chiropractic college posted these photos of the side of his clinic in Tucson, AZ on Facebook.
Too bad the artist didn't study scroll drawing before taking on the job. But, most people won't know anything about it and will like it anyway.

I've decided, after seeing the final result, to give it a name. I think "A study in scroll design morass" would be appropriate.

If it is the finished composition, Picasso and Kandinsky would applaud it, but not I!.... And suddenly it simply first sketch of idea?

obviously none of the connesewers of art have enjoyed the wonderful art displayed in many of the mcdonald restaurants. at least this is "kindergarten" level work.

Graffiti has been classified as "street art" by those trying to legitimize it.

He told me it's been in the 100's so it's too hot to work. He expects the "artist" will have a "casual schedule". I'll get more pictures as he posts them.

I think it's great. It's on the side of a chiropractic office, and its an illustration of scrollwork that has been tail-ended by a semi-trailer, and is in need of years of chiropractic treatment to fix it.

Some street art is way cool if done properly.........and some is just straight out vandalism.

It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

It could be very cool or it could be a clanger......time will tell

Cheers

Walls can be a real pain...they need to start with a good plan and sketch. This had neither . I feel like I'm looking at an alien birth from some sci-fi movie. Time to roll a new coat of paint over the entire wall and hope the next painter knows what he's doing . Just my opinion .

i dont think its surpose to be scroll work ...is it ?, looks more octopus ish . i think the blue/cyan and red will contrast well but theres a focal point missing for the eye . like an octopus head or such . but art is not always a picture that makes sense .

I think it's an octopus giving birth to a giant snail. That would make more sense on an ob-gyn office than a chiropractic office.

I have seen a couple of equine colic surgeries.....this is not accurate enough for an anatomy book, but bears a strong resemblance.:biggrin:
Fun to be back here again.

Can't be a rendering of colic surgery, Gail.
There's no hundred dollar bills floating around.
Years ago one of my customers took her rag head over to Ocala. Had to run to the bank and withdraw $10,000 BEFORE the vet would even look at the critter !
My way would have only cost her $0.50 at the time.
