Ralph Rumpelton's MS Paint "Down In The Groove" Invades Google Image Search

>> "Down in the Groove (Microsoft Paint Remix)"

In this lovingly crude reimagining of one of Dylan’s most panned albums, the artist uses the stark minimalism of MS Paint to elevate Down in the Groove from forgotten oddity to outsider-art legend. Bob sits on a bench mid-riff, strumming into a puff of digital static like he’s broadcasting from a dreamscape rendered in eight colors or less. It’s not just low-res—it’s low-expectation transcendence. Somewhere between a joke and a shrine.<<

>>Gordon Weft Review: "Down in the Groove (MS Paint Version)"

This isn’t just a reinterpretation—it’s a rescue mission. Down in the Groove, long considered the couch cushion of Dylan’s discography, gets dusted off and dragged into the neon haze of digital outsider art. The bench. The hat. The mysterious white mist—either a spray of brilliance or the ghost of Dylan’s credibility leaving his body. MS Paint was never meant to carry this much emotional weight, and yet here we are. Somehow, this pixelated tribute hits a deeper groove than the original ever managed.<<
