Just got told about this, next road up from the Sandon

Thought this was a new Basque youth signing.

That looks stunning

The Warrior classic kit shirt.....😁

Is this his goal celebration against Everton in 13-14?

[cissesbeard]

Love it

[Son of Spion]

That's really well done. 

[RedG13]

That is really well done

[Bobinhood]

Wow!

Looks great - very good portrait. Only slight criticism is the kit/season it’s associated with… but oh well.

[rossipersempre]

Artistic licence needed to replace the Warrior logo with the Liverbird crest, flipped from the other side.

It was a hell of a ride, that season. I know we didn't get it over the line, but it will live long in the memory. I don't have a problem with it.

[Kashinoda]

Don't really like the lightning bolts, detracts from an otherwise great mural.

[chromed]

Wow that looks incredible

I'm assuming this is just a mock-up? I doubt they'd be allowed to paint over peoples window frames like the line coming out of his mouth has done.

Agreed.

[CraigDS]

Yeah looks like a mock up to me.

Yeah, that image is a mock-up, you can see the real thing here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CTkGpvrgBUo/

I’d have to see it from another angle but his head looks tiny compared to his arm

Was going to say that it looks like it was Photoshopped in the initial image. My personal experience from painting murals is that they mostly never translate to a wall the way you want them to. Sometimes they can do, though.

[Lynx the saucy mynx]

Typical it had to be from a season ending in THAT moment 

[Macphisto80]

It's not too bad. The artist just botched those lightening bolts. Get rid of the ones at the top of his head and that would correct the orientation of the rest. Less is more, but they/he/she has gone overboard with them.

He looks like a throwaway NPC character.

That photo was still a work in progress. Finished mural is here: https://twitter.com/JenboLFC/status/1435908476492976128/photo/1

[redgriffin73]

Yeah it's good but would be better without the lightning bolts, or fewer of them at least, especially the weird one straight out the top of his head.

That one bolt going straight up from his head would be driving my OCD nuts if I'd done it. It's decent, but still...gone mad with the bolts a bit.

Ha ha yeah. Lad at work told me about it and I sent the link without looking too close, didn't realise it was the mock up version before the work actually started that I was seeing, did think it was very lifelike though.

The bolts should have stayed as the mock up though

Its on the side of the Sandon, so I doubt they are arsed what happens with the windows to be honest, so long as they sell more ale to people going to have a look.

[Crimson_Tank]

Excellent Mural. Shocking that there are those that do not like the lightening bolts.

They should be struck from RAWK

Perhaps the bolts make the image a bit heavy...

[Kopenhagen]

Looks great.

[Kashinoda]

You're all mad, it's shite

The bolts aren't even the worst thing about it, everything is out of proportion. It's like a slightly better Ronaldo statue.

[stevieG786]

how long before some envious Evertonian's graffiti over it?

[missis sumner]

The lightning bolts are gash.  They don't seem to emanate from the same point.  And that one sticking out from the top of his head is ridiculous.

Apart from that, I think it looks good.  But it is hard to tell how good from the camera angle though.

Like all art beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 😀
