(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!!!)

"Stand By" (Acrylic on Canvas)


I hated this the moment I saw it.

But then I managed to find a Silver Lining. This gimmicky, faux-clever (i.e. stupid) painting is, either intentionally or unintentionally, maybe/kinda/sorta ironic? Or Meta? Like...the canvas has no actual art happening on it, right? So there's this old-school television message "Please Stand By", as if maybe the artist poking fun at himself/herself, but essentially saying "I got nuthin: Please Stand By". Or like..."Art" itself, concept/purpose/relationale-wise, is broken and Out of Order? Perhaps?

Maybe not.
