MOBA not MOMA


Peter the Kitty
Oil on board by Mrs. Jackson
10.5" x 7"
Acquired from Salvation Army Thrift Store, Hyde Park by Scott Wilson

Stirring in it's portrayal of feline angst. Is Peter hungry or contemplating his place in a hungry world? The artist has evoked both hopelessness and glee with his irrational use of negative space.



"Art Too Bad To Be Ignored"
It's MOBA, Museum Of Bad Art. "Art Too Funny To Be Ignored" I say, It's the worst of the worst art found mostly in the garbage and garages. The guys at MOBA also provide brilliant commentary to go along with the canvased atrocities. They have also published a book called Masterworks, a hardcover containing the classics like "Mama and Babe", "Shy Glance" and "Think Again". See the entire collection at museumofbadart.org. You'll be glad you did.

I saw this on your links before and it cracked me up, right after my introspective Jungian diversion of my dichotomous personality.
