hmm.

I'm sure the artist was attempting to make some sort of statement here but, um...

Yeah. I don't know either.

  2. That is wrong on so many levels. Not even a Bersa deserves to be desecrated like that.

  3. I kinda like the little faces on the bullets--like how they would paint the bombs being dropped on Berlin with a shark face and "From Uncle Sam with love" on it, except here it's a little stoned smiley and a "Whoa dude, just slow down."

  4. The bullets make me think of when my dad would draw faces on the hardboiled eggs so he could tell them apart after he put them back in the carton.

  5. That looks like a Puerto Rican prom dress right there.

  6. For a moment I was outraged. Then I realized that it was just a Bersa and now I'm only mildly irked.

  7. Thank God my guns are locked up in the safe and couldn't see that!

  8. I'd buy one in a heartbeat for the missus. Maybe one for me too if the eyes were not painted on but rather were googly-eyes.

  9. That's almost as strange is the Batman thing Tam had linked.

  10. It has a very Keith Haring vibe to it...but his art I understand.

  11. Heh... looks as though they used the same decorator as did the trucks on IRT- deadliest roads.

  12. Kinda reminds of the bullets in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"!

  13. I went to the creator's web site. The "about" section was most enlightening:
    "P$YNNER is an award-winning artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Product Design from Parsons School of Design in NYC."

    Also known as the, "Would you like fries with that?" degree.

    WV: hoper: P$YNNER is HOPER she can sell some of this crap.

  14. Are you sure this isn't the hood ornament from a Tijuana Taxi?

  15. I guess the idea is that you can shoot the bad guy while he's doubled up with laughter from seeing your gun.

  16. Step 1 - Find the left over paints from your paint by numbers set
    Step 2 - Drink a full fifth of rotgut bourbon
    Step 3 - Paint everything within reach, not matter how ridiculous
    Step 4 - Sober up
    Step 5 - Take pictures of everything that has well defined regions of color and post them to your website.

    Can I have my grant from the NEA now?

  17. Um... please tell me that that's a replica and not a REAL Bersa!!

  18. But,...but...it looks cool under black light!

  19. Yeah, I saw this on Neatorama before I came here, so I followed the link from them to you, Breda.

  20. Awww. . . Who's a cute little Kurtz round? Who's a cute little Kurtz round? Yes, YOU are!

  21. Looks like something one of those mexican drug gangsters would carry. Have you seen some of the ones they've captured? Obviously an "art" project; the pistol might function, but you couldn't chamber those rounds. The paint thickness is not negligible.

Be polite, please. (also I'd like to add that I reserve the right to delete any and all comments that I find offensive, argumentative, or just plain tiresome.)
