It turns out that Bowser is quite the artist. Not only can he create phenomenal songs, but he can also paint masterpieces. The official trailer for *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie* showed him painting some jaw-dropping art. We want in.
Here at Shacknews, we want to commission King Bowser to create some paintings for us. Here’s what we want to hang on our walls.

### Shack Chat: What painting would you commission Bowser to create for you?
**Saturn Devouring His Son, but it’s Bowser and Mario**
*— TJ Denzer, enjoys the classics*
From just a glimpse of the trailer, it feels like Bowser has a little interest in classic paintings. His first shown painting features Mario as a Dry Bones, but it also seems to evoke Edvard Munch’s *The Scream*. That brings me to the second point—Bowser still harbors animosity toward Mario (and why wouldn’t he? Mario called his paintings trash).
If he hasn’t done it already, I bet Bowser could whip up a pretty good adaptation of Francisco de Goya’s painting *Saturn Devouring His Son*, with Bowser taking the place of Saturn and Mario… well, obviously getting munched.
Such a painting would help him vent some frustration, and I do believe he could do it justice. Though, I suspect Bowser would make himself look far more handsome and less monstrous than the spindly and terrifying Saturn.
Bear in mind, Goya’s original painting is quite gruesome, so I’ve chosen to substitute a picture of Cookie Monster from *Sesame Street*—it has the same grotesque and ravenous energy but in a kid-friendly and charming package.

**The Luigi Death Stare (Descending a Staircase)**
*— Asif Khan, Luigi’s Number One Fan*
I love the Luigi Death Stare meme enough to commission Bowser to paint an interpretation of it, maybe with Luigi powersliding his kart down a staircase in Peach’s Castle.

**Bob-omb Battlefield**
*— Sam Chandler, keeps jumping at paintings*
You cannot beat a classic. Bob-omb Battlefield was where it all began. It was the first painting you could jump into in *Super Mario 64*. Gone were the overworld maps and linear gameplay—as the castle was full of paintings, hidden walls, and other oddities, allowing exploration of more locations than ever before.
Even now, all these years later, whenever I load up my 100% save file in *Super Mario 64*, the first place I run to is Bob-omb Battlefield. I’d love if Bowser could do his rendition of this iconic painting.

**Pauline Donovan Erskine**
*— I love Peach, but Mario Odyssey made me a Pauline guy*
I’d ask Bowser to paint the New Donk City Festival, with Pauline singing on top of a skyscraper. One of my all-time favorite gaming moments immortalized in paint!

**Chain Chomp or Something Fun!**
*— Steve Tyminski, a real Koop-icasso!*
What painting would I commission Bowser, King of the Koopas, to paint for me?
It was revealed during the *Super Mario Galaxy* movie trailer that Bowser isn’t just a talented singer; he is also a very good artist. So that got me thinking—what should we get Bowser to paint for us?
The first thing that comes to mind is something Chain Chomp related. I use Chain Chomp as a logo for live-streaming, and Bowser is already familiar with Chain Chomp because they’re a member of the Koopa Troop.
I have another option, though—something out of left field for Bowser to take on. I want *The Last Supper* starring the Super Mario Brothers. Reddit has plenty of these, but I want a genuine Bowser original.
I’d tell him to have fun with it. Anyway, my first choice is a Chain Chomp painting, but my second is *The Last Supper*—Mario style!
