i think that sculptor is exercising a LOT of artistic license.....cause that statue doesn't look much like the person it's supposed to represent....

Lucille Ball; Celoron, NY
Although she’s since been replaced with something that doesn’t make children cry, it’s not hard to see why this grimacing version of Lucille Ball was dubbed “Scary Lucy.” Ugly statues aren’t the only American oddities worth stopping for; make a pit stop at The 33 Best Roadside Attractions in America the next time you hit the road!


Sometimes I wonder what is in the eye of the sculptor.

Kate Moss




If you’ve ever wondered what a life-sized solid gold statue of Kate Moss doing
yoga would look like… here it is.

The terrifying tribute was created by sculptor Marc Quinn from 50kg of
18-carat gold – and cost a whopping £1million to make.

i don't think the artist who sculpted Lucy was that accurate, but a decent artist.

i don't think the guy who sculpted kate moss is a good artist...there's a big difference between a copy machine and an artist....there's no soul....no "wabisabi"....looks like a mold, with most of the details, imperfections, "life" removed from it....and that's pretty questionable subject matter to begin with....if Rodin sculpted from still from a porn video....it would still be pron.

true, keep in mind when she arrived in Texas she was only 15, she had her first child at 18, and then the Texas Revolution started. Some reports state she eloped to Texas. Other report that she actually helped her husband with the cannon's. She owned a board house, was a mother, knew how to shoot a rifle and was also a nurse during the battle. I respect her and what she did. Especially for a woman who Santa Anna offered to send her daughter to school and she basically shot the finger at him and said "NO"... that picture was in her later years since photography was around in Texas....so.

again, fair enough, i suppose an artist has to be allowed to infuse the spirit of the subject into the artwork, if they're able to

That one of Lucille Ball is hilarious. I actually saw her house/that statue in the lakeside park a few years ago, and it's just as bad as imaged here. A little history: the city commissioned that shitty statue for $10k, and the public was so disappointed that they demanded a fix from the artist, who then charged another 10k i believe, and i can't recall exactly what was done, but it was something to the effect of chopping her head off to redo the face and then welding it back on.. still wasn't good enough, so the town eventually had a second statue made (by a different artist of course) of a much younger and more accurate Lucille which now stands about 50ft from this one.. lol

If you think bad art is funny, then you have to check out http://museumofbadart.org/


You can thank me later.

We've been looking at houses because we're moving soon. I'm trying really hard to get my wife on board for this house that is a little off the beaten path. She's a little hesitant because the last five miles to the house...... let's just say I'll need a snow plow, lol. This waterfall is only a couple hundred yards from the house with a beautiful river flowing past.
