"Keep Smiling" and yet he paints him thin-lipped and grim-looking instead of with a huge, warm grin? Okey-dokey!
ReplyDeleteHe looks more like a young Walter Matthau.
ReplyDeleteIt's a thoughtful tribute. Ease up on the snarky comments.
ReplyDeleteAre with the poster above, it's a tribute and cheers to Chico for making it.
ReplyDeleteI like Chico's work, it is done in his own distinctive style, and this actually was one of Robin Williams' most common expressions when you see him in photos. Nice job Chico, keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteWilliams did have very thin lips (Chico got that right). The eyes though; ehhhh.. close, but could use a little work.
ReplyDeleteStill; appreciate the sentiment.
Aren't there more noteworthy locals who deserve this ? Do this for someone who's improved the area. Not some druggie Hollywood 1% type who offed himself. Get some priorities stop with the mindless celebrity worship. Only in the new EV. Did the bros approve this? How about a mural protesting our nypd killers? Too political for the sanitized whitewashed suburbanied EV. Somewhere Doomberg is smiling
ReplyDeleteI like it something is a little off but still like it..might travel down there to see it in person..I hate when ppl bring up what he did in the pass..so fucking what..
ReplyDeleteI remember, some years ago, coming home to see a Chico going up on my building on e 12th Street. I made a disparaging remark, not having seen the man himself up on a ladder working. He offered to let me try it and see if I could do any better. I was properly chagrined.
ReplyDeleteMan this blows. He couldnt fucken draw something that looked like Robin Williams just a little?
ReplyDeleteOh Chico. I love that you make these - and in tribute to residents in the neighborhood, these murals are filled with heart and honor and I appreciate them so much, but for the famous I can't bear to see them. It’s not your fault, it's almost impossible to represent in spray-paint a portrait of the artists we emotionally connect with in photos, film and video. You are our neighborhood mural artist and I respect you and look forward to murals of neighbors who have passed or are our local heroes, scenes of kids and parrots taking a milk carton out of a corner trash can but the portraits are too hard. I’m sorry Chico.
