PHOENIX — An Arizona artist created a kickstarter campaign to raise money for a giant mural of Ariz. Sen. John McCain.

If the artist can get the funding, he would create the 30-foot-tall by 120-foot-long mural in Old Town Scottsdale.

Total, the artwork would be about 4,000 square feet. Aaron Bass began working with Chen + Suchart Studio and Eric Marvin to create a piece of art that would serve “not only a commemoration but a reminder that discourse and discussion are pivotal,” the website said.

The concept, tweeted by @mural_the, depicts John McCain’s face with an Arizona flag on the building at 4235 N. Marshall Way.

Half the star and rays of light on a typical Arizona flag are present on the concept, with the face of “The Maverick” that starts just past it.

The color shifts from red to blue with white features inside.

An Homage to a Songbird....nice mural, although 4,000 sq ft is pretty big for such a small man.

It’s big, so it’s easier to hit at a distance.

Are you suggesting a post-reveal amendment to the mural?

Then the world may not long remember. Well, maybe as a footnote to history.

Artists are famously “right-leaning”, just as McCain famously is. *cough*

He’s a hero to them because they have the same politics.

That mural will be utterly desecrated within a month of its completion.

A little like the flag in the movie The In-Laws showing General Garcia, perhaps, with a bit of fluff?

Once the Mexicans take over AZ like they have in CA, he will be revered as the man who gave it to them.

Scottsdale? Naah, it’d look better on the Arizona section of the Border Wall.

You are right about forgetting him. Who remembers the “swimmer”? You know, the Ly’n of the Senate?

I will gladly give you the 20 feet for each plane, but the Forestal has bee debunked. He did not cause it, and just barely escaped being one of the casualties.

I do not blame John McCain for surrendering to America’s communist enemies when he was shot down in Vietnam. I do blame him for continuing to surrender to anti-American communists, anti-American socialists, and anti-American globalists for the remainder of his life. Few traitors have done more harm to America than McCain did in what he claims has been a series of attempts to help us.
