The BBC Europe correspondent described the painting's current state as resembling "a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic."

Best. Restoration. Ever.

Why does random stuff like this happen? :lol

cause: 'well, I had a brush and some stupid paint and thought: 'Why the fuck not'?

Stupidity is anything but random.

She probably thought Jesus would guide her hand :lol

My guess:
1. Senility
+
2. Seniors are coddled in many societies to the point where they're seldom held accountable for their actions thus causing some of them to have a "what consequences?" mentality which leads to some of them doing things the average joe would never think to.
I think we're glossing over the real issue here, though, which is that Martinez is going to hell for calling Jesus a homo.

"The BBC reports that the woman realized her mistake and..."
She "realized her mistake"? As in "Oh fuck, I guess I can't actually do this after all"?
-
You say ruined, I say improved!
Coincidentally....I suck at art.
-
All I can think of is George Costanza and the painting the guy did of his boss to add it back into a photo. :lol

You and me both, dude. :lol

While everyone else was ignoring the problem, she went ahead and tried to fix it despite a proper lack of knowledge or research. That sounds like the American way.

Actually, they had just received a donation to restore it from the artist's descendants.

How the fuck did she get that painting?

It was on a column in a church. Think of it as vandalism to publicly accessible art.

I thought they kept the real ones locked up.
I think they should hire Mr. Bean to fix it. He did a great job with Whistler's Mother.

Do they keep the real Sistine Chapel locked up and put a replica on display? If they do, I'm very impressed.

I meant paintings, you turd.
-
OK, how do you propose locking one of the buildings columns up?
-
If I knew it was part of the building, I wouldn't have said what I said. You seem a tad upset.

haha, she was possessed by the art demon. To show evolution in Jesus.
Nah, but she must have alzheimers or dementia to try and do that.

Uh, not upset, condescending. :p

I used to be condescending like you
But then I stopped being a dick. :-*

No, you didn't.

So if you're referring to dicks, does that imply that you've taken one AND known one?

No no no, Zook. you're being double teamed here. You have an admin, and the forum favorite boob man. You can't win this. You have a Top 50 list to finish. Do not get banned.

you're being double teamed here
I rest my case.

For a man who claims to love the silky milkies, your mind sure is on the flip side.

Says the one who's clearly been flipping sides on us.

Who told you?! Did Jesus tell you that?!
Look, I'm not proud of it, but 5/8 can be entertaining sometimes.

Someone shoop Hef's face into that Jesus picture and our lives would be complete.

No, He didnt. Hefdaddy has far better things to worry with than that. If I were you, I'd quite while ahead. You've had your ass burned enough in this thread, a sensation it sounds like you're familiar with. :-*

Which is exactly why I don't go to Taco Bell anymore.

Why the hell WOULD someone allow anyone other than a repsected professional get their hands on this painting? Ugh.
-
This is more sad than funny.

Ruined the original work, but made something even more awesome. I wish there was a higher res picture of it.
edit: This is the biggest one I could find:

I wonder what this would go for on eBay...

I only have one thing to say,
Jesus!

By the way, according to one of the video stories on the article page, apparently the deterioration that is the middle "before" picture was also caused by this woman, as her restoration process apparently took off some of the original paint. Also, she swears up and down in one of the videos that the church knew, the priests knew.
Mindboggling, really. At what point did "I can do this" switch to "I can still salvage this" and then morph into "Fuck"?

You'd think someone that close to death's door wouldn't be dumb enough to aggressively pursue an eternity in hell since, at least based on the beliefs of someone who's a Christian as she is, that's a pretty likely place for her to end up considering she ruined someone else's property without permission and is now trying to cash in even though she got off scott-free for her little stunt.

Well I'm pretty sure you meant most of this in jest, I doubt accidentally messing up a picture of Jesus is considered a sin.
Even though technically speaking, making any picture of Jesus should be considered a sin.

Nah, perhaps she wouldn't be a shoo-in for hell based on this alone but I figure if someone's Christian by faith, then they'd be relieved to have not gotten into any trouble for (unintentionally or otherwise) defacing church property. For her to now be trying to cash in on this seems a little sacrilegious to me and I'm VERY liberal when it comes to stuff pertaining to faith.
-
As was stated in the article, the church has seen a huge spike in traffic, and therefore donations. It's her work that brought about that increase. While it does seem like the tasteful thing to do would be to let the church keep the money, since you did fuck up their property and all, it's hard to not see that she does have a point.
-
It's also possible that they could still be well within the statute of limitations to press charges against her for doing so. I'm not saying it's the thing to do but if she wants to take advantage of the fact that she got away with something that likely would've resulted in prosecution had it been done by some "teenage punk", then she shouldn't be such a greedy bitch about it by trying to get in while the gettin's good.
Her original intent was to "restore" the painting. She obviously knew that she wouldn't be compensated for it. Yet now that she failed miserably at doing something she had no intention of being paid for in the first place, she's got some kind of ludicrous notion that she's entitled to compensation?
-
The article sums it up pretty well:
The idea of claiming destruction as a form of creation is interesting (and a bit mind-boggling), but I think the truth is likely a lot simpler: greed, capitalizing on a spot of big, blind luck. A bit sad, but not terribly surprising.

OMG Zy :rollin :rollin :rollin

I'll leave the bronze medal to someone else.
Very hysterrible nonetheless. :metal
