These must have fallen out of style hard because I got a lot of them from thrift stores. Anyway, they have a good home in my kitchen and bathroom.

i remember, the food court at our local mart had a lovely mural of a painted garden, it was really cute

they’ve since then removed it to put a generic wood texture wallpaper and 3 TVs that blast right-wing propaganda and ads all day

All I want right now is some robust-ass art nerd to swoop in and tell us what this kind of art is actually called other than "90's clip art"

No way this isn't just three random words put together.

*chef’s spliff*

If you had never seen this before, would you assume it was AI art?

Well, the guy does have 5 well drawn fingers.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm mixed on it. For one, no reasonable person thinks a whole ass fish, lobster, carrots, etc. belong on what I assume is a pizza. On the other hand, he's lifting up a slice of the pizza and it seems coherent, with the slice missing below in the proper place and size with no artifacts.

It's like what would happen if AI gave a prompt to a human artist.

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Is that what's happening? I thought he was ladling a huge ass pot of soup.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

It's a giant pizza, and he is lifting a single slice up using one of those pie server things...

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago

The center looks like soup, but there's definitely a chunk being removed, which doesn't make sense for soup. Maybe a different kind of pie than pizza, but idk.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No, i'd assume it was made by the guy who made all that clipart back in the day.

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago

I miss gaudy old corporate art. So much better than sterile new corporate art.

(Actually maybe not “better” in every sense but at least they were trying to do something)

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Ha ha. The food menu and chef clip art got used a lot!

I absolutely would suspect AI

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 12 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I’ve always hated this art style, but I can’t explain why.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 32 points 23 hours ago

It was quickly adopted as a corpo art style and overused to death.

See Alegria art for a more recent version of the same thing

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago

It's that 2000s era corporate clip art style. I have too many bad associations with it.

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

Romanos macaroni grill vibes

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I don't recall this kind of style as a trend for restaurants, or for anything for that matter.

Also wtf isn't on that pizza?

[–] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 1 points 10 hours ago (2 children)
[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Have you never had a garbage can pizza before? There was a place on the north side of Chicago, where if you wandered in shortly before closing, you could get a garbage can pizza, where they throw all the ingredients they're going to be tossing out at the end of the night onto your pizza. They only made it for regular customers, but it was a good deal since they charged regular price, but it was loaded with so much stuff.

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Not really but sounds like a perfect snack for the end of a night out

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It was usually the start of a night out. I was a young man in Chicago, and took advantage of it while i could.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 40 minutes ago

That actually sounds good. I only hope it didn't have snails, cherries, garlic, carrots and lobster randomly all over

[–] shottymcb@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago

No, he's picking up a slice with his right arm.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago

This style is peak 2000s era corporate clip art.

[–] simple@piefed.social 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What, you don't put eggs, snails, an entire fish, and a whole lobster on your pizza?
