I like this parody better:
why does he have a mushroom on his face?? i’m so confused?
Wow, now I will own TWO Mario-themed Magritte parody shirts. Didn’t see that coming.
this must be a pretty old self portrait. i mean just look at the cracking in the sky in the upper right of the frame. if this were more current there would be some sort of spaceship, the guy hasn’t been to the mushroom kingdom since the wii came out.
so Cool, i didn’t know this was going up today, I’m stoked for my first woot print, it mas my last goal for the year.
Say MUSHROOM!!

For a minute there it almost looked like he was standing on a roof with pipe for a chimney.
Someone needs to lay off the shrooms… seriously.
Oh woot, you know anything with that plumber is pretty much an instant buy, and almost always a guaranteed sellout. Well done.
And the ones that mother gives you don’t do anything at all.
The Cape-feather, the Tanooki-leaf, the Super-star, and the Fire-flower.
These are the the deep forbidden power-ups he’s been longing for.
/obscure?
Freakin’ Mario, I can’t believe he’s doin’ shrooms AGAIN!
So that’s why he kept going to the wrong castle…
Maybe I’m stupid and I’m not getting something important, but why is it Manio?
Doesnt remind me of the original at all.
Anything with console games on it screams “I AM IMMATURE” anyways.
love the design, concept, and execution–well done!
Yeeeep. Tis the way of the Woot.
it’s based on the magritte work “son of man”–see previous forum comments for more details…
