Artist Makes An Absolutely AWFUL Statue Of I Love Lucy

CELORON, N.Y., April 6 (UPI) – The artist behind a controversial sculpture of comedy legend Lucille Ball has apologized and offered to replace it for free. “I take full responsibility for ‘Scary Lucy,’ though by no means was that my intent nor did I wish to disparage in any way the memories of the iconic Lucy image,” artist Dave Poulinwrote in a letter to The Hollywood Reporter. Poulin’s rendering of the I Love Lucy star was erected in Celeron, N.Y., next to Ball’s hometown of Jamestown, N.Y., in 2009. But some fans felt that the sculpture was an unflattering likeness and started a Facebook group calling on Celoron Mayor Scott Schrecengost to replace it. Poulin said he was also unhappy with his work. “I have shared my disappointment in the final outcome and have always believed it to be by far my most unsettling sculpture, not befitting of Lucy’s beauty or my ability as a sculptor,” he said. “Yes, in retrospect, it should have never been cast in bronze and made public, and I take complete ownership of that poor decision.” “I have felt blessed to have inspired and touched the lives of thousands of people who do enjoy my other works, and am heartsick at the feelings that have been evoked as a result of the Celeron Lucy,” he added. Poulin said he would replace “Scary Lucy” with a “beautiful and charming” version free of charge.

Look I’m no artist. I couldnt do a paint by numbers picture right now and I certainly could create a bronze sculpture. But whoever made this thing can’t either. I mean talk about straight up Mailtime. Did this guy even know what Lucille Ball looked like? Did he just kinda wing that shit? Because the outcome was something that would haunt my fucking dreams. “Scary Lucy” doesnt even begin to describe it. This looks like some sort of evil fish. Like a largemouth bass mixed with Pauly Walnuts from Sopranos that has come to poison the children before they go to bed at night.

Now all that being said if you’re a diehard I Love Lucy fan and you’re making a big stink about a statue that was put up in 2009, you need to promptly kill yourself. Seriously find the nearest set of train tracks and sit on there until a train comes through and runs you over.  This poor bastard that has to redo a sculpture of a TV character from like 50 years ago because the diehard Lucille Ball fans came out with their pitchforks and torches. That dude should have said “Yea the statues sucks but you losers can go fuck yourselves.”
