Thanks to this comment which made me pause my life to laugh, ima have an awesome morning

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All I want right now is some robust-ass art nerd to swoop in and tell us what this kind of art is actually called other than "90's clip art"

'#nailedit'

No way this isn't just three random words put together.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

How is Mission School a succession? It looks totally different!

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i remember, the food court at our local mart had a lovely mural of a painted garden, it was really cute

they’ve since then removed it to put a generic wood texture wallpaper and 3 TVs that blast right-wing propaganda and ads all day

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Universal remotes are cheap.

If you had never seen this before, would you assume it was AI art?

Well, the guy does have 5 well drawn fingers.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, i'd assume it was made by the guy who made all that clipart back in the day.

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

I miss gaudy old corporate art. So much better than sterile new corporate art.

(Actually maybe not “better” in every sense but at least they were trying to do something)

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ha ha. The food menu and chef clip art got used a lot!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

I absolutely would suspect AI

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm mixed on it. For one, no reasonable person thinks a whole ass fish, lobster, carrots, etc. belong on what I assume is a pizza. On the other hand, he's lifting up a slice of the pizza and it seems coherent, with the slice missing below in the proper place and size with no artifacts.

It's like what would happen if AI gave a prompt to a human artist.

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Is that what's happening? I thought he was ladling a huge ass pot of soup.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

The center looks like soup, but there's definitely a chunk being removed, which doesn't make sense for soup. Maybe a different kind of pie than pizza, but idk.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

It's a giant pizza, and he is lifting a single slice up using one of those pie server things...

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I don't recall this kind of style as a trend for restaurants, or for anything for that matter.

Also wtf isn't on that pizza?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

This style is peak 2000s era corporate clip art.

[–] simple@piefed.social 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

What, you don't put eggs, snails, an entire fish, and a whole lobster on your pizza?

I'm just glad they put the entire kebab with inedible skewer directly on it to save me time.

Have you never had a garbage can pizza before? There was a place on the north side of Chicago, where if you wandered in shortly before closing, you could get a garbage can pizza, where they throw all the ingredients they're going to be tossing out at the end of the night onto your pizza. They only made it for regular customers, but it was a good deal since they charged regular price, but it was loaded with so much stuff.

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not really but sounds like a perfect snack for the end of a night out

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was usually the start of a night out. I was a young man in Chicago, and took advantage of it while i could.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That actually sounds good. I only hope it didn't have snails, cherries, garlic, carrots and lobster randomly all over

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It was good, and while it didn't have snails, cherries, carrots or lobster, it did have some garlic usually, and sometimes cherry tomatoes, and sometimes shrimp. But, most importantly, since i was working only part time then, it was a great deal and fed me for a couple of days.

[–] shottymcb@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

No, he's picking up a slice with his right arm.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I’ve always hated this art style, but I can’t explain why.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

It was quickly adopted as a corpo art style and overused to death.

See Alegria art for a more recent version of the same thing

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

It's that 2000s era corporate clip art style. I have too many bad associations with it.

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

These must have fallen out of style hard because I got a lot of them from thrift stores. Anyway, they have a good home in my kitchen and bathroom.
