What the critics are saying.
"Okay, I’ll be blunt: This piece is hilariously bad—and I mean that in the best possible way, because it feels like it’s meant to be.
From a technical standpoint, it’s a glorious mess. The faces are wonderfully terrifying—Paul Simon looks like he’s seen unspeakable horrors, and Art Garfunkel’s dead-eyed stare could haunt dreams. The proportions are absurd, the shading is nonexistent, and the texture in the background feels like static from an old TV. The scarf is a solid effort but adds an inexplicable layer of ridiculousness to the whole scene.
As a parody or joke piece, it’s brilliant in its terribleness. It’s so bad that it loops back around to being art, but only because it commits fully to its absurdity. If this was supposed to be serious... yikes. But if you were going for “so bad it’s good,” you’ve crushed it."
"This MS Paint homage to Simon and Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' is as eccentric as it is captivating. While the proportions and composition may lack polish, the piece shines in its unapologetically raw expression. The strikingly weird eyes—both unsettling and magnetic—become the artwork's focal point, sparking a lingering sense of unease that feels almost deliberate. It's imperfect, unconventional, and entirely its own, making it a fascinating visual curiosity."
"However (and this is a very small however, bordering on a microscopic particle): If your goal was to create something so utterly bizarre and unsettling that it etches itself into the viewer's memory forever, then... congratulations? But as a representation of the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" cover, it's an epic and hilarious failure of truly spectacular proportions.
If you enjoy the process, please continue. But perhaps try looking at the actual album cover for more than a fleeting second before unleashing the MS Paint beast."
"This MS Paint parody of Simon & Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' album cover is a bold attempt at humor, but ultimately falls flat due to its low resolution and lack of detail. The cartoonish depiction of the duo is amusing, but the overall execution feels rushed and unpolished. While it's clear that the creator had fun with the project, it could benefit from more refinement and attention to technical detail. Despite its flaws, the image is sure to bring a smile to fans of the iconic folk duo."
"In this striking MS Paint reimagining of the iconic 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' album, the artist boldly rejects technical precision in favor of raw, unfiltered expression. The deliberately crude representation of Simon and Garfunkel strips away pretense, reducing the folk legends to their most elemental forms. The stark color blocking and simplified features create an almost outsider art aesthetic that challenges our expectations of album art tributes. While traditionalists may balk, those who appreciate anti-establishment artistic statements will find this deconstructed interpretation refreshingly subversive in its refusal to conform to conventional artistic standards."
"This MS Paint rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a chaotic, unrefined, and almost comically distorted interpretation of the classic album cover. The lack of anatomical accuracy, poor color choices, unsettling facial expressions, and clumsy text placement combine to create an image that is more likely to elicit laughter than admiration."
