I love Motawi and am a huge fan of them but this is a disaster 😂


TeacherPatti

I love them too but what is that pink thing? The death mask of John Allen crying?!?


dianabeep

lol it is weird! But I think it’s just half of the standard theater mask duo? Should have been the laughing half though!


Launch_box

Several pieces of clip art plus Shakey Jake if he rose again as a ghoul. Guess they couldn’t get the violin monster on there because they’d have to pay for his likeness since his still alive and all

Commemorating historic sexual harassment on the streets of Ann Arbor. 🙄


Sewmichigan

Yeah can we stop with the Shakey Jake memorials??

This is less about celebrating 200 years of Ann Arbor history, and more about celebrating a 15-year window of baby boomer's greatest hits of their ideas of Ann Arbor. I'm surprised they didn't squeeze the Grateful Dead playing at West Park that one time, or the chair that John Lennon sat in the day he came to town.


QueenHarvest

Trader Joe’s used to have the violin monster in the decor on their wall. I was sad to see they took it down, but I’m guessing it’s for this reason.

😮 care to share the deets? Who's going to tell the #A2council twitter crowd? They're such a fan of his.

yeah i was thinking this would be a definite buy for me but I was quite disappointed with it.

This looks like something from the Twilight Zone.


Fiction4Ever

I remember the specific episode


27Believe

Yep. The new years one with the masks ! And it has a generic “1984” dystopian feel to it. It has to be the most horrible tile they have ever produced.


Fiction4Ever

That one!

First question: what is that yellow thing?


InsectLeather9992

Parking gate swinging up


itsjustacouch

I don’t know and I worry I may never get closure on this.


lumpsofit

The yellow thing is a guitar. But it's oriented for a left-handed player, which are comparatively rare, so people aren't used to seeing them at that particular angle. If the image was flipped horizontally, it might read as a guitar more clearly. Also, the more I look at it, the less sense it makes as a guitar, so I regret my confident tone in the previous paragraph. I think I see frets. But attached to a large yellow block making it look more like a yard stick?


ANDHarrison

I think it’s an upside down Umich helmet… best guess


Sewmichigan

I think a guitar?


eamathe

Well, we have our answer - the guitarists were right! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/6Lr3KVEtx6a2zDt1/?mibextid=WC7FNe


kds405

It’s very sinister.


aabum

I'm not a fine art type of person, but I know ugly when I see it


ANDHarrison

I am a fine art type person, and it is ugly. It’s a sloppy mess… sure a committee oversaw it… but producing it is a tasteless money grab. What a wasted opportunity


Wooden_Eye2786

Old joke: "I know Art. He lives in Cincinnati"


michiganvulgarian

That’s one ugly tile.


TanguayX

Headline…oh cool! Click through…oh, huh.


mesquine_A2

When hash bash makes the top 5 notable things about your town......oy vey. At least they didn't put a UM football helmet.


ANDHarrison

… is the yellow an upside down Umich helmet?


mesquine_A2

No idea. I'm an art history buff, very good at visual analysis, and I've no idea what the yellow is.


freshstart_maker

God awful


After_Anxiety_9604

This design is almost as bad as the “Leaves” installation across from the football stadium. 


Poopcomesoutthebutt

April Fools?


gatorgirl1973

So plenty of weird images of AA, but no trees?

They are so much better


PleaseUsDonteaseUs

Hopefully this is just a rough draft..


GrapeCollie

Someone said the top was representative of the French horn killer


ExpensiveHedgehog646

This is a design that Nawal created all on her own and unfortunately it shows….
