Everyone is a critic.

Last summer, famed artist Lebo donated his services to create a jazz-inspired mural dubbed “Bee-Bop Into Outer Space” in the heart of Hollywood’s downtown.

But city officials aren’t happy with the outcome.

“We don’t want it to start looking like a ghetto over there,” City Commissioner Patricia Asseff said. “There are many people not happy with the direction we are taking down there.”

Asseff worries the graffiti-style piece is “too abstract” for downtown.

The problem, city leaders say, is the artist didn’t stay true to the rendering approved by the city’s mural committee, and the final graffiti-styled product is not appropriate for the prominent location on busy Young Circle.

“A lot of people don’t like how that first mural turned out,” Mayor Peter Bober said at a recent meeting, adding that art is subjective and location is everything. “We don’t want to see more like the first one that created the stir.”

And Lebo, who routinely collects upward of $20,000 for his murals, thinks that’s hysterical.

“It’s not like I painted a naked girl or anything,” he said.

Lebo intended to follow the rendering the city had approved.

But when he went to paint the side of the old Great Southern Building on the west side of Hollywood Circle, the bumpy surface made it too challenging.

So he got creative.

Instead of rollers and brushes, he used spray paint. He changed the pink, blue and yellow color scheme and added red, yellow and orange “to match the area.”

“That’s what art is,” Lebo said, adding that he kept with the same basic theme of music, his usual vision. “It evolves.”

The finished product: two colorful musicians on the large part of the wall and three burrowing owls in the middle — something he added because he thought it fit in with Hollywood.

Not so, said Terry Cantrell, president of the nearby Hollywood Lakes Association.

“I think from a historic perspective, a mural on the Great Southern Hotel should be respectful of the structure,” Cantrell said. “We don’t want artsy, edgy graffiti-type murals.”

But that’s exactly what Lebo, aka David Le Batard, is known for. The muralist and sculptor has said he’s inspired by street art. His work has appeared globally and he’s received commissions from Ferrari, Harley-Davidson, the Miami Heat, and, most recently, designed the hull of the Norwegian Cruise Line ship Getaway.

Hollywood began its mural program last year as a way to promote art and culture in downtown. It created the mural committee and several artists expressed interest in painting large pieces. It’s up to a private property owner to pick an artist and design, and then pay the artist.

Lebo, the brother of Miami Herald sports columnist and ESPN commentator Dan Le Batard, grew up in Hollywood and attended Chaminade Madonna College Preparatory. When he heard about the new mural program, he thought he could do something nice for his hometown. So he volunteered his services. The city paid him $1,000, but he supplied the paint, talent and labor.

“This job cost me money,” Lebo said.

At least six other murals have popped up around the district, including a large music-inspired painting by Ruben Ubiera on the Ramada at 1925 Harrison St.
