Mr. Smiley has award-winning bad taste!!

Pages: 1 13 replies

Ok, and I won the award for recognizing it :)

One of the coolest sites on the Internet, Swapatorium, had a contest for the Worst Thrift Store Art. I took it upon myself to enter my favorite piece, one from the private collection of Master Smiley, Esq.:

http://swapatorium.blogspot.com/2006/02/thrift-store-art-contest-winner.html

Note the tender expressions, and the elegance of the slender, arching necks on both lovely creatures.

Well, maybe the neck one is kinda hard.

(I told Swapatorium upon entering, BTW, that the find was officially his and not mine. I'm no B.A.P. - Bad Art Poacher.)

Giddy with victory,
Formikahini

dangit!

my entry "Dog with Humaniod Lips"
(black velvet, no less) was beaten by

Mrsmiley's "Boy with Cat" is that a cat? a cavey? rodent of some sort?

speciesism! or something. i demand a recount!

well done. your entry will give me nightmares!

Oh, MAN, dogbytes!
Those humanoid lips gave ME nightmares!

There was some extremely stiff competition for sure.
And yet, I'm sure that there's even worse out there, waiting...

Congrats, Formikahini/Master Smiley. Even though I had my own entry ("Happy Hour") I think I would have picked "Boy With Cat" too.

By the way, check out the rest of my art collection here (and buy a t-shirt).

"Mutant Love" Rocks! I wish I had found that painting.

Thinkest thou I shouldst submit my prized garage-sale painting, "Rabbit Boy"?

Wow, Sweet Daddy Tiki, you have some winners there!
I really like your commentaries, especially re: the Emilia Yuskiw collection. How sad that it has now been dispersed. I think you should make it your life's goal to to reassemble it for a retrospective.

Maybe.

And Sabu, I think you need to enter Rabbit Boy in the next contest.
There will BE no contest - no other entrants after they see your deflating, obvious win, so I will suggest that you enter it in the eleventh hour, so as to have others in the competition.

He has one tooth.

One gigantic tooth.

Wht did his parents choose to immortalize this fact??

zazz!!! :)

That "Rabbit Boy" scares me. Seriously.

Sweet Daddy Tiki, that's a pretty good collection you've got there. The commentary is great! When I got to "Menages a Trois," I started laughing out loud. A rare site you have there. I liked it a lot.

"Mutant Love," well, wha' da ya say? It's a winner. I wonder where his neck went?

Awww....meow!!! I think, er, probably meow anyway. Pinhead kitty, so cute!

Congrats you guys. I seriously love that painting. I want it to come out as notecards.

In fact. There's an idea!!! Bad thrift art notecards!!! I'd buy 'em.
