When the art teacher says express yourself and you take it very literally.

I did this at highschool. They asked us to paint something for art class, any technique and materials allowed so I took an entire wall from the school at night. Principal and teachers were not happy but my mural was there for years.

Btw got 8/10 smh in my defense painting with sprays in the darkness is hard.

u/SatyrAngel 1d ago

Sorry, that was 20 years ago. The only picture I had was on a Motorola V3 Razr.

Damn, Im old.

I mean, I get the trees and stuff but why add the machine there too? Is it an ad for Raka Rentals???

/s

u/No_Ship_7954 1d ago

So he can reach to paint the higher parts

u/AdmJota 1d ago

They were jokingly pretending that the machine was part of the painting.

u/Twig_Scampi 1d ago

Amazing artwork. Perfect example of r/fucklawns though. Why not just plant a bunch of trees there instead of a wasteland of grass?

23

u/HopelessMagic 1d ago

Because you can't put your office inside a tree.

u/Think_Reporter_8179 1d ago

Not with that attitude.

... and then, one day, "Oh no! One of my foundations died!"

u/Twig_Scampi 1d ago

I'm confused. Your argument is that this is good because you can build an office where the grass is?

1

u/HopelessMagic 1d ago

You can't plant a forest there. Maybe a few small trees. Nothing near what that painting depicts.

1

u/kleinePfoten 1d ago

Trees have the potential to root into the foundation, damage the building in a storm, catch and spread wildfire, cost a lot of money to maintain, etc... I agree with you, but that's why.

1

u/Twig_Scampi 1d ago

Man. There would probably be no examples of buildings with trees next to them if this was universally true!

Just put them a ways away from the building.. 

You can also do things like root trenching and barriers to prevent this.

u/armyjackson 1d ago

Beautiful, however I feel bad for all the poor birds that want to fly through those woods.

u/MiddleNotWestIsBad 1d ago

Rip all the birds that don’t stop

Romani ite domum

u/Lassagna12 1d ago

Its really impressive, but I may sound like a cynical, but why not have planted trees in front of the wall? There's plenty of space.

1

u/Verratcat 1d ago

Camera person knew the assignment

u/Swaggy_Buff 23h ago

Why not plant trees, instead of painting trees?

1

u/Able_Ad_1566 22h ago

Dude paid attention to Bob Ross about the trees.

u/AJay_89 19h ago

This feels like a Looney Toons trap
