Life imitates art. But for Odell Beckham Jr., it might be the other way around.
The star wideout commissioned a painting to honor his successful 2021 season, according to the painting's artist, Charlie Failure.
The painting shows two versions of Beckham: one triumphantly decked out in the Los Angeles Rams jersey helping up the other laying on the floor while wearing a Cleveland Browns jersey.
What the painting lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in shade.

Beckham endured a difficult season in Cleveland. The former All-Pro netted just 234 receiving yards in six games with the Browns — a year after putting up just 319 receiving yards in seven games in 2020.
There were always rumors that Beckham was discontent in Cleveland. Beckham's dad famously posted a video on his Instagram showing Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield failing to an open Beckham on several occasions.
He appeared to get a new lease on life once he joined the Rams, catching five touchdowns in seven games. For comparison, Beckham only got into the end zone four times during his Cleveland career.
Beckham also played a crucial part in the Ram's Super Bowl win, scoring the first touchdown of the game before going down with an ACL tear. He hasn't yet signed with a team, although it's unclear what the market looks like for a wide receiver who looks poised for a lengthy spell away from the field. However, there does appear to be mutual interest in OBJ's return to the Rams.

The painting shows Beckham wearing his Super Bowl ring and features a number of other little elements, including a handful of comets and a big "F", which very well could represent the grade Beckham would give for his time in Cleveland.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In Beckham's case, it seems like he's both parts of that statement.
