So a bar and restaurant that I used to frequent recently moved to a new location and I went in to check it out the other day. The new bar looks fantastic but there was some new artwork up inside the joint that I don't recall ever seeing in the old location. Perhaps that old spot was too small and they didn't have enough space to put it all up.

Here is one of them that I like but it has me confused.

This is an original piece of oil painting, not a print. I could tell by looking at the sides of it and the fact that there were parts of the painting that was raised because of more paint being used in one part than others.

This caricature was on a wall that was filled with other caricatures of various sports stars that were immediately easy to identify like Ronaldo or Tiger Woods. However, neither me nor any of my friends have any idea who this person is meant to be. Do you know?

This other painting could be a reprint from someone famous. I don't have any idea but I just liked it. I'm not some sort of art nerd or anything and I don't have much justification for liking certain things other than "i like the way that looks!"

This second one was tucked away in the back near the rarely-used dartboard, which you can see in the reflection on the glass :)
