By the way - here's a picture of the " artist " Jules Muck:
EDIT: Good news - a compromise has been met.
from bleacherreport.com:
Jules Muck, the artist behind the mural of the tatted-up Bird, said she was simply trying to be funny.
“It’s nothing personal against Larry.Muck told the Indianapolis Star on Wednesday. “I actually think it’s funnier to put tattoos on people who don’t have them.”
After consulting with Bird’s attorney in an effort to find a resolution, Muck has agreed to a compromise. Once modifications to the mural are complete, the only tattoo left on Bird’s upper torso will be the “Indiana” one on the forearm.
“This is another human being that is obviously not liking it,” Muck said. “If he was happy and thought it was funny, that’s a different story.”
In the end, all’s well that ends well. Still, the entire Bird mural saga — from the artwork itself, Bird having an issue with it and a resolution being reached — made it one of the most off-the-wall sports stories in some time.
