MOBA

Hey everyone, did you know there is a Museum Of Bad Art? Well there is. I think it's quite funny. Most works are just artists trying new ideas and failing. They get most of their art from attics, the trash, thrift stores, or donated from the artists themselves. Anyways here are a few of the piece along with funny descriptions provided by the museum.



"Madonna with Smile" -
Much controversy surrounds the history of this piece. Whether the work of a single artist or two artists separated by time and place, the piece succeeds in transforming a simple icon into a mysterious yet radiant image through a few quick dashes of the pen.



"Queen of the Chocolate Chip" -
The piece comments on the incongruity of royalism at the close of the second millennium. The formality of the pose contrasts with the laissez-faire attitude of Her Majesty, caught mid-chew, as she sports a jaunty beret in preference to her emerald encrusted crown. We are, in fact, amused.



"Charlie and Sheba" -
No longer able to tolerate the incessant barking, Charlie the Chipmunk used a band-aid to tape Sheba the Sheepdog's mouth shut before posing with her on the picnic table.



"Inspiration" -
The organ master stares, transfixed by twin mysterious visions; the Neanderthal saint in the setting sun and the Gothic monk proceeding out from the cathedral's sanctum -- each framed by a halo of organ pipes, reminiscent of #2 pencils.
