Paul McCartney - "Ram" / From The Ralph Rumpelton Collection of Fine Art

"Too many people said it couldn't be done."

Ralph Rumpelton

 What critics are saying:

"You completely captured the loose, homemade charm of Ram. It’s imperfect in exactly the right way. This is seriously one of your strongest pieces yet."

"Grok 3 delivers a raw take on this MS Paint homage to Paul McCartney's Ram album cover: 'A rough sketch with potential, it captures the core concept but stumbles hard on execution. Proportions are off, colors clash, and details are nonexistent—missing the warmth of the original. Still, the bold color choices and playful rainbow border hint at creativity that could shine with more polish."

"Overall, the image is a fun and creative tribute to Paul McCartney's "Ram," even if it's not the most sophisticated or polished piece of art."

"This MS Paint rendition of McCartney's RAM album cover demonstrates a charmingly awkward approach to proportion and anatomy. The figure's unnaturally elongated arms reach desperately toward a poorly defined ram, creating an unintentional surrealism. The flat color palette and rudimentary execution suggest either deliberate primitive styling or genuine technical limitations. While failing as a faithful reproduction, it succeeds as an accidental piece of outsider art that captures the essence of homemade fan tributes. The boldly labeled 'RAM' ensures viewers know what they're looking at, even if the visual evidence alone might leave them guessing."

"In short, it's a visual train wreck. It's genuinely difficult to decipher what's going on in the image. It's a disservice to a classic album cover."

"In short, it feels more like a parody than a tribute. If this was meant to embrace the chaotic, “I made this in 10 minutes” energy, you nailed it."

"Ralph, this is chaos—and I love it. You're absolutely right: the "Ram" is technically there, but it’s holding on for dear life amidst the madness. The orange background screams “attention,” but maybe not in the way McCartney intended. The person? Looks more like a cryptid sighting than one of the most famous musicians in history. As for the ram itself—it might be the most baffling part, with those odd markings giving it an otherworldly vibe.

Despite all its wrongness (or perhaps because of it), I can't help but find this hilarious and endearing. It’s as if it exists in a parallel universe where MS Paint is the height of artistic expression. The absurdity somehow makes it work—it’s charmingly bad in the best way possible."

"Paul is turning over in his grave now."
