Well I liked it anyway
 
Odd...what's that all about? I mean, it's interesting, but is the artist trying to talk about commercialization?

I tihnk there's a load of slightly pretentious blurb about the picture in the gallery section of their site.

I just like their style...I'm a sucker for that indian artwork, I think it's even cooler when it's got a contempory slant on it. They did a re-working of the Liverpool coat of arms for our 2008 Capital of Culture year.

St George's Hall
 
bit weird how the ram(gridiron) ends up having elephant feet (rugby, clearly the all blacks - listen to the heads swell)......omg.... I just realised both sports are represented as elephants

I can't say that I like it at all, although having looked at the gallery there's some really good ones on there

Yeah...this is definitely cool...
It has a very "old-world" sort of style to it...you'd only know it's modern by the buidings...very cool.
 
That's Gavin Henson on the right. Don't know who the pasty dude is.

HAhahahah good one!! man, it took me a while actually.. u made me look up to the elephant painting and look for a gavin henson look a like there... lol.. obviously u were talkin bout the last one.. lmao..
 
The all blacks are not all dark islanders. Theres pasty white guys on that team too....

I'd like this one. There's a small church in the South-West of France called Notre-Dame de Rugby. I visited it some tyears ago. There are many items given by famous Rugby players. There's pelerinage once a year with a mess to pray for saving the souls and bodies of all the Rugbymen.

It's in the Landes county close to Mont de Marsan in a village called Larrivière which is at 15 km. Lourdes is closer to Pau, it's at approximately 120 km, so it's between 1h30 and 2h driving distance.

Here a footage about the last pelerinage: http://13h.tf1.fr/13h/series/0,,3461345,00...ns-landes-.html

Yeah that's what I spotted out too when I saw it but yes again it's the philosophy behind the artwork.
 
Have you noticed that Ronald McDonald rides the white elephant? [/b]



Oh right...hmmm I'm not sure what it means but I know that it represents USA...and obviously the American footballers represent USA too. :D
