Madmonk Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Visiting the Birmingham office of the company I work for I ventured into the small kitchen area they use, in which there is a bit of wall art celebrating a few things from Brum! The celebratory art work includes pen nibs, apparently 50% of the world's pen nibs were manufactured here in the 1950's, Ozzy formed Black Sabbath in 1968 and in the 1940's at Castle Bromwich Spitfires were built. Now I'm no aviation expert but that just looks wrong on all counts!! You have to ask if the artist has ever seen a plane with a propeller on it never mind a Spitfire!! 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope he did not try and paint Ozzy or the rest of Black Sabbath to the same standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Are the propeller blades pen knibs or did Birmingham also produce baguettes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayprit Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I think you have to take it in the spirit it was meant...………...I think its quiet good, particularly the squadron codes, its painted(or drawn)with a very classic and appealing style reflecting a pen/ink drawing, then again, cannot see all the picture. It also reminds me of the current tattoos you see so much of which are appearing everywhere...…...people with tattoo sleeves on their arms or legs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
