Odell Beckham Jr. commissioned a painting to commemorate his successful 2021, according to the artist, Charlie Failure, on Instagram. It is of Odell Beckham Jr., and also Odell Beckham Jr.
That’s right, to celebrate his escape from the hamster wheel of dysfunction that is the Cleveland Browns and the Super Bowl 56 victory that followed, Beckham’s ordered a piece of art that’s nothing less than an inspirational tale. At the bottom if Beckham in his Browns uniform, knocked to the turf. Standing above him is a beacon of hope offering a hand and a path back to prosperity. It is Los Angeles Ram Odell Beckham wearing a Super Bowl ring.
Also, there are comets soaring through the background, for some reason. One of them makes an “F-,” which may also be the grade Beckham got in “Subtlety 101” at LSU.
It’s an amazing piece of triumph and self awareness that rivals this other hallmark of 21st century art:
(It’s a metaphor.)
Beckham remains a free agent as he rehabilitates the torn ACL that took him out of Super Bowl 56 after a pair of catches for 52 yards. Should he land with a new team and win two world championships there, logic suggests he’d have to add a third Odell to his painting, ostensibly arriving in a helicopter whose blades are Lombardi Trophies to airlift his fellow Odells out of harms way. Also there are burritos in the chopper or something.
I dunno. The Odell Beckhams? They’re the real artists.
