No hope.
Oh look, it’s … uhh, who the hell is this supposed to be? The Rock? Let’s say The Rock. Many more insanely terrible paintings can be found at this website linked here. [Bad Paintings of Barack Obama]

The real question is where the website for bad paintings of Michael Steele?

ManchuCandidate March 9, 2009 at 1:59 pm

Done by grads from the Art Institute of America?

Sheesh! They must be using dial-up for that site.

Man, the last Depression got Dorothy Lange and Willem De Kooning. We get this?

I like the Captain Planet one with the blue lightning and stuff. Snazzy.

Soooo, does this one make sense to anyone?:

I guess they took extremely high res. pictures of said bad paintings, thus maxing out their bandwidth in one morning?

Really, do we need to see such things in perfect detail? I think not.

Wow, I vote for the one where he has a white house in his mouth instead of teeth.

Oh, it’s just Shepard Fairey trying to DDOS his competition.

Shit, too bad, can’t see them, TSFW…

sezme March 9, 2009 at 2:23 pm

It probably destroys half the fun of this ‘web site’, but if you just put in on of these jpg URLs in your browser, like
http://iamchriscollins.com/badpaintingsofbarackobama/images//1.jpg

And then just keep replacing the number before .jpg with successive numerals up to 47, you can see them all without wasting nearly so much of your precious time, although come to think of it, that’s kind of the point, isn’t it?

Anyway, old porn trick – see if you can type in the numbers with one hand.

Serolf Divad March 9, 2009 at 2:28 pm

[re=260765]sezme[/re]:

You know what else destroys the fun of this website?

If any* of these paintings are actual “outsider art” as opposed to self-referential po-mo artistic jokes, they’ll be worth a fucking fortune on the art market in 20 years. Buy ‘em while you can, fellahs.

*OK, not any but many of them would.

[re=260702]mbprice[/re]: Yup. Art this bad needs big bandwidth. That’s what the stimulus is for.

Dude, I hope I can still have babies after that. Or just sex.

sezme March 9, 2009 at 2:40 pm

[re=260775]Serolf Divad[/re]: How much will I be able to get for a saved jpg?

To your point, though… I didn’t really think they were outsider art or self-referential po-mo (except maybe the underwear one). I was picturing more like a high school art teacher got his students to paint them and then made this web site to humiliate them. Anyway, that’s what I would do if I was a high school art teacher.

V572625694 March 9, 2009 at 2:44 pm

Shouldn’t there be a similar site for Chimpy or Panamanian strongman Juan McCain?

[re=260784]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Leroy Nieman: now there’s a fine artist. Looks like Mexican food vomited on the sidewalk.

Awww, I wouldn’t call that a bad painting! I think it is cute—and MUCH better than I could do.

Damn fine portrait of Dwayne Johnson. I’ve always enjoyed the subtle palette of Edvard Munch.

windupbird March 9, 2009 at 7:55 pm

Believe or not, people would pay good money for this claptrap – see “Outsider Art” on ebay.

windupbird March 9, 2009 at 8:06 pm

[re=260775]Serolf Divad[/re]: Exactly! I read your remark after my post. Outsider art – it’s no longer just for convicts and the crazees.

Daveislikelol March 10, 2009 at 4:24 am

There seems to be some confusion as to the subject here.
I think this Collection was actually a tribute to prominent African Americans.
