I was looking at ACEOS (ugh! I used to find fun, cool little paintings amid all the dreck but nothing today!) on EBAY and then I did another fun search I like to do there--for "outsider art."
That's usually mostly crap too, and none of these people are even really outsiders, after all, since they're selling on friggin EBAY. But occasionally you get an inspired wingnut or two.
TRY FOR MORE TROUBLED, MORE LONER PLEASE!!
And this came up, which I thought was very funny.
Read the description at the bottom. I tend to think the clueless writing there is intentional. It has to be. A gag. They probably worked very hard to make it sound that dumb. And probably giggled the whole time.
Okay, it's not that funny. But I like any fake EBAY listings. It's sort of an art form, I think.
You know. Like the potato chip that looks like Jesus Christ.
Or the man sellling himself as a prospective husband.
Or the person cynically selling his "fake friendship" on there.
Those listings always make me smile.
Has to be a joke. A bad joke!

hahaha. now that's self promotion!
Or Chris's mother, Doris, did actually write the description and is severely delusional regarding not only her son's artistic ability, but also his other numerous successes. That's what I'd like to believe. Doris, the uber supportive mom!
Rachel, get those prices bumped up on ETSY.
Here, I thought I was telling Lee right by telling him to LOWER the price on the poodle creamer when it didn't move.
I should have said, "Just multiply it by 10,000." Duh. I'm sooo stooopid.
Kiddo, that's really effin scary if it's true. Just think what will happen if he says one day, "Mom, I was thinking about maybe getting a job as a cashier at HOME DEPOT. Just for a little while. Til this 'art thing' takes off."
I kind of see it playing out like the scene where Carrie comes home after the prom.
