Website of the Day: Museum of Bad Art

As much as I can appreciate a one-of-a-kind print on Etsy or at the MoMA's Color Chart exhibit, I'm no art snob. I like it all - including stuff that's not quite Louvre worthy, and I've found where to get my fix of it: The Museum of Bad Art!

MOBA, the deliciously ironic acronym, houses an online collection of art that's creepy, odd, and just plain bad, as well as works that came from great artists that inexplicably ended up bad.

Yes, some are so bad they're good, and some, to quote Ghost World, go "past good and back to bad again." And some, like with "Mama and Babe", pictured here, are just plain nightmarish. Pick up the poster version and horrify your friends!

Book of the Day: The Museum of Bad Art - Masterworks

The Museum of Bad Art, located in a basement somewhere in Massachusetts, describes itself as "a unique institution dedicated to the celebration of artistic effort, however misguided." And by misguided, they mean ill conceived, misshapen, and ridiculously cute. I'm a fan of so-bad-they're-good movies, books, and music. Why not art? Creepy-cute is where it's at!
