(THIS BLOG IS NOT AFFLIATED WITH NOR DOES IT REPRESENT VALUE VILLAGE) Welcome to the (Value) Village Art Gallery. I’m your host, Curator SadHoboClown, and I will be your guide throughout the tour. Here you will find, free of charge, some of the most fantastic and awe-inspiring paintings ever gazed upon by the eyes of mankind. Our intention here is not to make anyone feel bad for having possibly created what many would consider to be bad art: I myself am a would-be artist and I’ve done some truly terrible things with paint and canvas, for which my conscience still plagues me. However: I honestly believe that most of the paintings you will see here can be considered charming: in them you are able to see the stumbling, tottering baby-steps that various artists have taken in the process of learning how to do something they’ve perhaps never done before. The point is that most people can only get better at something if they start out not better at something, right? So even if I’m being a bit of a wise-ass at times, bear in mind that it’s all in fun. Bad Art is still Art! (DISCLAIMER: THIS SITE AND ALL ITS CONTENTS ARE FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. DON'T HAVE A COW, MAN!!!)

Barbed-Wire Fence (Acrylic on Canvas)


I jinxed myself. Just yesterday I was thinking about how few truly blah or (worse) truly bad paintings we’ve had lately, and then this and another one shows up. Actually it could have been two more (a total of four), but my heart just wasn’t in it and I chose not to take photographs of the other two. Yes, I cheated! I left two bad paintings out of the exhibit today. They were bad in a truly banal, soul-sucking, “pooped and demoralized” kind of way. Maybe I’ll add them some other day, if they’re still there the next time I go back.


HA! “if they’re still there.” Believe me: they’ll be there alright.


Anyway. The main problem here is that this painting is a clear violation of my Purple/Blue rule (see other purple/blue paintings for further clarification on this matter.) Aside from the fact that this painting is also boring, sad, disheartening and pointless.
