Does Not Illustrate: Mad Artist

Go To

The description of this trope seems to say that the Mad Artist is an insane violent psycho who likely sees murder and death as a work of art. I don't think that the current image of Alfred E. Neuman illustrates that, even if it says "Mad Art" on it.

I suggest the art for the Magic The Gathering card Blood Artist as a replacement, though I can look for something else if it's too graphic.

I don't think it's graphic.

edit: I hadn't noticed the hanging corpse. Okay, so it is, a bit. :) I still think it's fine though.

Pull the current regardless of replacement.

Here's the OP at wiki size and two possible crops.

Seems like there should be something that would work well in Vincent Price's House Of Wax or ""The Mad Magician'' but I can't find any.

[up][up] I think the hanging corpse is what makes the image work, so I'm voting for the middle one.

Maybe this lobby card from Mystery of the Wax Museum? [removed from consideration. placed on the film's page.]

I don't think it needs to be cropped (9.1).

I think both 9.1 and 9.2 work well enough. Leaning towards 9.1.

The image sizes in 9 look deceptive if wide screen mode is deactivated.

9.1

Either 9.1 or 9.2. Also leaning towards the former.

Not really keen on 12...if there's a still from the movie that makes the museum aspect itself more evident, that would be better.

I see the "mad" via the leering and grabbing, but I don't see the "artist," in 12. That said, Mystery of the Wax Museum doesn't have an image.

I'll put it there, then, and remove it from consideration here.

Clock is set. Crowner between 9.1 and 9.2?

Might be a tetch early, but I'm gonna go ahead and call this one since the winner's so far ahead. The new pic's up and tagged; caption?
