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

  2. ManchuCandidate says at 1:59 pm, March 9th, 2009

    Done by grads from the Art Institute of America?

  3. mbprice says at 2:00 pm, March 9th, 2009

    Ugh, you guys crashed it.

  4. IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLL

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

  6. user-of-owls says at 2:05 pm, March 9th, 2009

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

    Their hamsters must be changing shifts. Keep refreshing, though — it’s worth it.

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

  9. Colander says at 2:06 pm, March 9th, 2009

    Wes Craven is such a visionary.

    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.

    He kinda looks like Maniac Cop to me.

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

  15. loudmouthredhead says at 2:11 pm, March 9th, 2009

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

    “I will have the only abstract art of the POTUS!!!!”

    SayItWithWookies: I think, apropos of last week’s cinematic releases, that that one’s President Doctor Manhattan.

  18. On the other hand…http://iamchriscollins.com/badpaintingsofbarackobama/images//2.jpg

    a constipated Daniel Craig is what that looks like to me.

  21. Doglessliberal says at 2:16 pm, March 9th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: are the two-tone lips a fashion statement?

  22. freakishlystrong says at 2:17 pm, March 9th, 2009

    Shit, too bad, can’t see them, TSFW…

  23. 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.

  24. Serolf Divad says at 2:28 pm, March 9th, 2009

    sezme:

    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.

    SayItWithWookies: “They are making me into something gaudy…a weapon. They named me Dr. Obama, for the ominous association it would create with a black politician”

  26. HairyIckey says at 2:31 pm, March 9th, 2009

    The one you used for this article looks like Ol’ Dirty Bastard just before he went to the Great Ghetto in the Sky…

    Leroy Neiman’s blue period.

  28. NoWireHangers says at 2:33 pm, March 9th, 2009

    Bring back WPA Art!

  29. DangerousLiberal says at 2:34 pm, March 9th, 2009

    mbprice: Yup. Art this bad needs big bandwidth. That’s what the stimulus is for.

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

  31. Serolf Divad: 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.

  32. V572625694 says at 2:44 pm, March 9th, 2009

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

    Monsieur Grumpe: Leroy Nieman: now there’s a fine artist. Looks like Mexican food vomited on the sidewalk.

    Feel the power of teh Wonkettes!

    I’ll pay ten bucks for it and hang it above my toilet.

    You losers crashed the server. Get back to work.

    Oh gawd–No We Can’t.

    YOU KIDS GET THE HELL OFF MY BANDWIDTH!

  40. Double Scorpion says at 3:46 pm, March 9th, 2009

    Give him a beard and a red cigar (he’s a Crip so blue is verboten) and you have a hopified Suge Knight

  41. S.Luggo says at 4:25 pm, March 9th, 2009

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

  43. DangerousLiberal says at 4:39 pm, March 9th, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: Get yer own T-1 line, you malingering little bastards. And stop stealing my wireless signal or I’ll call the cops.

  44. S.Luggo says at 4:46 pm, March 9th, 2009

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

  46. problemwithcaring says at 5:15 pm, March 9th, 2009

    S.Luggo: Riiight! Did you see this one?

    http://iamchriscollins.com/badpaintingsofbarackobama/images//12.jpg

    Looks like cross-eyed Republitard “Strategist” Ron Christie….

  47. windupbird says at 7:55 pm, March 9th, 2009

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

  48. windupbird says at 8:06 pm, March 9th, 2009

    Serolf Divad: Exactly! I read your remark after my post. Outsider art - it’s no longer just for convicts and the crazees.
