The artist, Vic Quickly, was inspired by the Scottish city of Elgin’s history when she crafted her design for improving the town’s square. One council member called it “cultural vomit in technicolor” and wondered aloud how much it would cost to cart it off to a land fill.
Art by committee.
Oy!
Where’s the unicorn horn?
But seriously, it looks like Mr. Peanut…sort of…minus the mermaid tail.

Mermaid Fish Lion is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Scotland.
William Wallace is crying.
Sure hope they got a kiss after paying for that junk!
I thought it was a homage to some children’s story.
Art is subjective, but this is typical modern ugliness.
That’s the result of the liberal left marxist idiots goal of pukifying art.
Claudia nailed it. If a person with no skills, experience, aptitude, or ability can duplicate a “piece of art”, it ain’t art. Tour the National Museum of Modern art in DC. It’s obvious we’ve lost the war on drugs.
Maybe it’s something from a Peter Max cartoon of the 60’s or the animated version of Yellow Submarine or from the animated TV movie The Point. Whatever it is certainly is psychedelic… Too much acid man, far out, groovy baby, keep on trucking. It needs to be accompanied by some Grateful Dead music or Jefferson Airplane singing White Rabbit.
That is high school level talent, hoping novelty will save it from the pyre.
It’s not the artist’s fault. She can get better. Whoever handed her the check should be hung.
Looks like something a charity would auction off 50 of them and the buyers paint/decorate and display it. The best one wins. Chicago did cows many years ago and you still see them around.
Has “Storybook Glen” arrived in Elgin?
Words fail me!
