Bad Paintings of Barack Obama

Actually I find the name a little snotty, because some of the paintings are really kind of wonderful.

Should have been called ‘Ugliest Drop Shadow for Images Ever’.

There are definitely some good ones in there. The author obviously has no taste and doesn’t understand what makes a painting good.

hmm.. perhaps a little condesending, but a unicorn, one-piece jumpsuit, sweat drops and starshines is a bit funny.

I think the name is more of a catch all term to get more attention than any lack of taste on the author’s part. A few of them are technically good but have a ridiculous concept, therefore making them bad.

—More like, “The Most Awesome-est Drop Shadows on Photos EVER!”

I agree with you, Khoi.  Some of these are remarkable…. while others are an obvious joke, deeply disturbing, or outright hilarious. 

Interesting link nonetheless.

Thanks!

hilarious.  how about the one in front of the white house, helllooooo??!!! maybe “paintings with a terrible likeness to obama but are still better than what i’ve ever done”? no matter -  thanks, this reminds me i still want to try to knock out copies of those sugar cookies decorated to look like him and michelle i saw around inauguration day. bad enough to eat.
