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.
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 what the trailer showed us, it feels like Bowser has a little bit of interest in classic paintings. His first painting shown is Mario as a Dry Bones but also seems to evoke Edvard Munch’s *The Scream*.
That brings me to the second point: he seems to still have a lot of animosity for 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.
It would help him vent some frustration, and I do believe he could do it justice — although 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 have 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. With a castle full of paintings, hidden walls, and other oddities, you could explore 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 is Bob-omb Battlefield. I’d love if Bowser could do up his rendition of the 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’s also a very good artist. So that got us 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 are a member of the Koopa Troop.
I have another option, an out-of-left-field idea for Bowser to take on. I want *The Last Supper* starring the Super Mario Brothers. It seems Reddit has a lot 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, but my second is *The Last Supper* gone Mario!
