Oh, this is rich. LOL
I doubt if this crap, er, art is even fit to have Michelangelo's name anywhere near it. Most modern 'art' sucks.
I'd bet this woman has spent very little time in libraries. Or school.
I don't unersnd why everione is so upsit about some litle misspellings. After all, I am sure that the artiest graduatid from one of our fine pubilic skools and went on to earn at leest a bachelers degree or maybe evin a docterate degree in one of our fine univercities. And as to the libary, they comissined the work so they were responcible for making sure that everithing was okay. But, purhaps the libarian went to the same skool as the artist and lernt how to spell the names the same weigh. No matter, If some smart alleck didn't make such a big point of it then nobuddy would have notised anyway. Who does that dumm idiut think he is for standing out in the krowd and telling everyone that thair spelling is wrong? He should shut up and blend in like the other mindliss masses of the inteligencia eeleet.
Totally insane.
They could have had the kids in that community collaborate on a ceramic mural for nothing. It most likely would have been better than this overly priced monument to illiteracy. But dragging in a third-rater from another part of the country? Can you say, "neptoism"?
Neither can I, LOL!
How about "nepotism"?
Your both rong! It's spelled "nebotoisiam". Wow waht a pak of idiuts!
And bye the whey, it's spelled Muriel.
you guys sley me!
Socialism and disrespect of the host go hand in hand. To rationalize socialism they first cultivate a disrespect for their mark.
You'd think they'd get a local artist, or at least someone from California. HEY, the State of California outsourced its work.
LOL!
More bad spellings!!!
Everyone knows it's Callee-4-knee-aahh. Just ask the governor.
Good, it isn't just me and I don't even know a Monet from a Manet.
Livermore is the same city where in the 70's they erected a totem pole in another park. They buried the lower 4 feet in the ground. The artist was irate and put a curse on the sewer system. At the same time the couldn't remember where they had buried a time capsule in 1967. It was eventualy found a few feet from the pole when they dug it out to re-set it!
Words are not this woman's forte. And from what I can see at her website, her art is no great shakes either.
Unless, of course, the library gave her the wrong spellings of the names.
I guess that she made a hugh mistake.
"The mistakes wouldn't even register with a true artisan, Alquilar said."
What a stoopid be-otch!
What an f'in moron. So misspellings are now a sign of artistic integrity? And noticing, and objecting to, misspellings are a sign of sensitivity and depth? Up is down. Hate is love. We have always been at war with East Asia. And this, readers, is elitist egalitarianism (or vice versa).
