Bah, the lyrics aren’t 100%, but it’s still friggin’ beautiful.

I’m sure that Picasso missed a few corners in his cubist abyss, but who cares? These graphics are Graph-tas-tic! Great work in homage to a great song.

I’m totally nonplussed how someone could go to that much effort doing the lettering but screw the lyrics up that badly. I’m thinking non-native speaker; but if you’re doing Subterranean Homesick Blues you’re sort of obligated to at least get “The pump don’t work ’cause the vandals took the handle” right.

For those people complaining about the artist “messing up” the lyrics, look closely at the cards in the original video by Bob Dylan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKfrjk6suAQ

  from wikipedia:
  
  There are intentional misspellings and puns throughout the clip: for instance, when the song’s lyrics say “eleven dollar bills” the poster says “20 dollar bills”.
