There is a mushroom on his face.

The difference between what dalies and what derby entries are allowed to do is always interesting to me

That's the worst case of thrush I've ever seen!

A shiny gold coin to the first Wooter to name the artist parodied!

I remember when he painted this. Back then, he was still called Jumpman. Before he sold out...

I would love it so much more without that mushroom...

If you look at it long enough, the blue frog appears.

Is this like that painting with the apple on a guys face?

Easy, Magritte.

Here is some background information on the original painting - The Son of Man:

This painting was also featured in the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan!

It's Magritte's "Son of Man"


Edit: Shiny gold coin buttafuoco. Not fast enough.

I like the gilding on the frame... star, fire flower, raccoon leaf and cape feather. A fair spectrum of games 1 through 4.

The green mushroom gives you an extra life.

The red mushroom makes you super.

The yellow mushroom just gives you the sense of ennui.

This is simply not surreal enough for me.

Awww... where's the frog suit?

He better not be doin the shrooms..

Oh! I get it now! Red mushroom to get big, green mushroom for an extra life and a mustard yellow mushroom to conceal your identity when "Cops" catches you loitering on some guy's roof.

I believe that this is the first pairing of the leaf and the feather in the same place, besides the Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World combo cartridge.

I like this parody better:

why does he have a mushroom on his face?? i'm so confused?

Wow, now I will own TWO Mario-themed Magritte parody shirts. Didn't see that coming.

this must be a pretty old self portrait. i mean just look at the cracking in the sky in the upper right of the frame. if this were more current there would be some sort of spaceship, the guy hasn't been to the mushroom kingdom since the wii came out.

so Cool, i didn't know this was going up today, I'm stoked for my first woot print, it mas my last goal for the year.

Say MUSHROOM!!

Son of Man

For a minute there it almost looked like he was standing on a roof with pipe for a chimney.

Someone needs to lay off the shrooms... seriously.

Oh woot, you know anything with that plumber is pretty much an instant buy, and almost always a guaranteed sellout. Well done.

And the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all.

The Cape-feather, the Tanooki-leaf, the Super-star, and the Fire-flower.
These are the the deep forbidden power-ups he's been longing for.

/obscure?

Freakin' Mario, I can't believe he's doin' shrooms AGAIN!

So *that's* why he kept going to the wrong castle...

Maybe I'm stupid and I'm not getting something important, but why is it Manio?

Doesnt remind me of the original at all.

Anything with console games on it screams "I AM IMMATURE" anyways.

love the design, concept, and execution--well done!

Yeeeep. Tis the way of the Woot.
