How did you post this... From the future?!?

The first piece sadly reminds me of this one:

Was this a repost from earlier or am I in the midst of a strong dose of deja vu?

the fact that the acronym is obama piques my interests more and makes me want to visit this place now.

The Peep Jesus is awe-inspiring. I suggest everyone go see it. Also, Cafe Racer is rad, and has simple, tasty food, and cheap beer. I've never been disappointed there.

I've never heard the MOBA referred to as anything but the MOBA, and I've known of it for many years. Not saying you're lying, just saying I'm confused.

wow, that breasty eye one will be haunting my dreams for a while.

this makes me want to go to my parents house and make sure every bad painting i made in high school is destroyed, so as not to end up on display.

i would hang all of those in my home.

I've been there on Thursday nights and that scary Satan-looking guy from Circus Contraption plays music there. Last time they had not one but TWO saw players and some guy on a real washtub bass. And with urging from the crowd, he did some sword-swallowing between songs. Incredible.

At least its new and different...the times I visit down town Seattle, I am forever disappointed when I say to myself "oh, I'll kill some hours at SAM and then see the same tired old installations again and again..."

An old boyfriend of mine had a peice like the one on the lacquered wood. It just had one chick on it sitting in some sand. I hated it back then, but I think it'd be pretty awesome in the garage now.

@7,

What? Don't you want to go down in infamy?


I have a spectacularly bad painting by my grandfather. I'm tempted to offer it to MOBA.

OMG! I totally know the guy that painted the runner up! His name is John Pitre. He's a older guy, lives in Honolulu, and happens to be one of my dad's best buddies. He made millions selling posters of his work in the 70's and now spends most of his time flying around in tiny helicopters. Peep some of his totally awesome stuff here:

Interesting side note, he also happens to be the inventor of this bad boy (link below), pin-up in most every in-flight magazine you've ever read.

Damn! I got too excited when I was reading the post and mistook Jen's pick for the "best worst" as the runner up. So my above comment actually references the winner of that coveted title, not the runner up.

cheers.

Hi, thank you for your comments regarding The Official Bad Art Museum of Art. Let me make this very clear: We would be DELIGHTED to accept your bad paintings, either on loan or as a donation to our permanent installation. This is a curated exhibit and not every painting is bad enough to hang at OBAMA, but we've not turned anything down yet. MOBA in Boston will not accept kitsch, black velvet, paint-by-numbers or kitties with big eyes. But here at OBAMA, please feel free to bring us your tired, your worn, your bad black velvet and paint-by-number canvas, and relax in the comfort that it has been given a good home at Cafe Racer.

After all, bad art is in the eye of the beer-holder.

jen, clearly the man in the second one is embracing her, not fucking her. you do know what foreplay is.

This gives a whole new meaning to the term "art camp."

...and if Jim Woodring says a piece of art is a pathological abomination, you must take his word about it...
