The "My Offensive Art Collection" Offensive


Soooo, I really don't mean to offend anyone who considers themselves to be an 'artist' or an art critic or anything like that and I know that art is supposed to be subjective and resides solely in the eye of the beholder and all that, but honestly, can someone please tell me if there is some sort of bizarre optical disease that afflicts certain people and makes their eye see 'art' where mine just sees utter and complete crap??

I mean, between you and me, some things are just not art, no matter how I look at them.

For instance, to me, this is definitely NOT art:


Three blank canvases?

What sort of "artist" does that?!!

Hell, even I could do that and I have no formal training whatsoever.

The sad thing is, had the artist sneezed a big booger onto it or smeared toe jam on it or eaten a bowl of his own feces and then projectile vomited some profound statement representing the suffering of humanity across it, it would have been worth wayyyy more because for some reason, a lot of people love offensive art.

They eat that shit up, (no pun intended!) and the more offensive the better!!

That's not the worst part, either.

No, the REAL crime is that idiots like this are raking in the dough from all this so-called "art":


Yeah, I know!!!!

Now, you tell me, doesn't that crazy bastard make a good poster child for why we desperately need to reopen a few of those old, decrepit mental institutions in this country?!

Heh.

You know, the really scary asylums that they had to shut down because just walking past one of them violates every human right possible?

Ones like this:

Well, except I think they should reopen them without the little window.

Hey, don't look at me like that!

Look, I bet that freaky artistic fellow up there would enjoy the privacy. That way he could paint the walls of his little cell with his body fluid in solace!

In fact, he should be sharing a windowless cell with fellow freak/"artist" Terrence Koh. They could collaborate and create windowless cell-wall masterpieces, since Mr. Koh's favorite mediums to work in are his own shit, blood, piss and semen.

Uh, not to mention dead livestock:

Believe me, I know a few sheep herders around here and he better just stay the hell away from Idaho if he knows what is good for him!!

Ugh.

Between you and me, I lose sleep some nights just knowing that I inhabit the same planet as that sick, twisted bastard. Not so much because he likes naked alone time with dead sheep, or that he paints self portraits using his own body fluid, but mostly because it pisses me off that he is richer than the frigging Pope!!

How fair is that?!

Well, it just isn't, so I decided since I can't beat them and have their asses committed to a decrepit old asylum with windowless cells, I will just join them instead.

OK, I know what you're thinking, "Chelle B., please tell me you aren't going to projectile vomit onto a canvas and call it art?!".

Oh please, I am wayyy more sophisticated than that!!

Well, alright, the truth is I can't really projectile vomit on demand, but I can be sick and twisted for money in other ways!!

Yep, and as soon as I post this, I am going to go out and find a local art gallery here in Idaho who will display my own offensive pieces.

Hooyah!!

Seriously, I really do have a few offensive pieces I'm working on right now that are going to make me very rich someday.

For instance, this one I call, "DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!!! I Stubbed My Toe Again!!!":



Or, I might just call it, "Owww!!! I Frigging Hate Flip Flops!!", I haven't decided.

And this one is simply titled, "I Can't Wait Until I Am Rich Enough To Hire A Whole Family Of Illegal Guatemalan Midgets To Clean Up After My Lazy Ass!":


Oh, and one of my personal favorites that I am going to dedicate to my hubby, or Jesus my taco truck guy, if I ever catch one of them cheating on me is called, "Here Is The Microscope Slide I Stole From The Lab. See??! I Told You That Skanky Whore Had Chlamydia. I Hope It Was Worth It, You Cheating Bastard!!":


Of course, knowing my hubby, I'm sure his favorite one of all would be this piece that I simply named, "Yumm!! Dinner!!!":

Ha! I bet that freak Terrence Koh would come see my art exhibit.

In fact, I bet he would pay me a boat load of money just to have some naked alone time with that last piece!!

Sick freak.

Hmm, I wonder how much he'd offer me??

Of course, I'd have to make him wash his hands first before I let him touch it.

:p



I make everyone over at humor-blogs.com wash their hands before touching my pieces!!

    I would love to paint a nice offensive piece of art with my semen (at least it would finally have a use) but it would take an impossibly long time to collect enough for a good sized canvas....and I just can't see myself collecting it from willing donors.

  • S2

    You've got some good stuff here. I have no clue how I stumbled upon your blog but I'm digging the whole angst-thing you've got happening.

    How about when that "artist" tied a starving dog to a wall in an art gallery and called THAT art? I believe it was in Mexico -- maybe?
    In any case - yes, art is uber subjective.

    Oh and I always stub my toes as I zip around in flip flops. Always.

  • Marilynn

    HAHA. Some "art" is just beyond weird. Have you heard about this artist who pretty much committed animal abuse in the name of art?
    As, for the picture of the toe, my old band director got his pinky "butterflied" when he was at Home Depot in flip flop. Ouch.

  • Don Lewis

    The deer shot just makes me hungry for more art. (or a hind quarter)

    How about covering yourself in paint and rolling across a canvas naked? I'll push. Anything for art I say.

  • Alex Mcone

    Pablo Picasso was considered crazy by the critics of his era.

    It could happen to you too.

  • Moooo!

    When i was a baby i smeard my turds all over the wall right as they were showing the house to a real estate agent. Now thats art.

  • Mark

    I think that first artist might have been my first-year philosophy prof.

  • Sue

    I don't get the blank canvas but I really, really, REALLY want one of those paintings done by elephants. Seriously.

  • moooooog35

    Dear Chelle,

    Yes...the Chlamydia was totally worth it.

    Your stubbed toe is grossing me right the f*ck out.

    Love,

    Cheating Bastard.

  • Mike

    Is it just me or does the clap look like mini chocolate easter eggs?

  • Becky..AMHW

    I'd rather have a canvas smeared with shit than a cutesy twinkling dragon frolicking with mermaids and babies with angel wings any day.

    Damned babies.

  • Bee

    That hand coming out of the window??

    I'm still running...

  • Dani

    I love this shit 1!! You rock 111

  • hammy

    I heard this comment somewhere... maybe a movie...

    "Him? He couldn't tell the difference between fart and art"

    Sounds like they apply to your two specimens of so called "artist"...

    :D

  • Blunt Wit

    i'm thinkin of a new show for food network

    the roadkill chef

    whatdaya think?

  • meleah rebeccah

    ha ha ha ha ha

    I am laughing my ass off right now. That was a great post. They definitely need to OPEN UP those old and closed down mental institutes.

    That ARM coming out of the door/window thingy is SOFA KING SCARY.

  • cathouse teri

    Actually, the very first one really is art. But only if displayed as a photograph of the guy standing there looking at it and thinking, "What the fuck?"

  • Trukindog

    That second picture is just plain disturbing, the last picture is of dinner.

    The rest are just picures.

  • editor

    http://infinito-1.blogspot.com/2008/04/you-may-want-to-sign-this.html

    you know some art can be more really more than useless.

  • John Painz

    How much are you selling "Owwww! I frigging hate flip flops!" for?

  • Chica

    Look for offensive tattoo art..this post is art compared to some of the tat images I've seen..now those were offensive! LOL

  • Jailbird

    Rarely does someone make me laugh out loud (an honest to god LOL did happen when I read this post). Maybe because my art is so offensive to some people, but this post made my day!

  • RainforestRobin

    When I started reading this and was only a few lines into it I thought Chelle should open another blog and call it "GALLERY of the OFFENDED and OFFENSIVE". Like your own little gallery...or BIG gallery. I think it would be a riot. You could even have a section for submissions. Ya? Ya? Robin says eagerly! I think it would really FLY! I would have a piece or two I'm sure LOL!! I laughed my head off over this. You are so blunt and to the point I love it!!

  • Barry

    They STOLE my painings!!!

    That is a three peice set of a polar bear in a blizzard! OK, I should credit that ancient joke to Red Skelton

  • Da Old Man

    I just remembered I was at an art mueseum a few years ago and they had a "work" that was an orange square on a black canvas.

    Some artists deserve to starve.

  • washwords

    you are funny! dunno what took me so long to get here but finally found you via blogcatalog. I'd love it if you checked out my snarks (and larks) somewhat along the same lines (oooh, art, definitely something to snark about).

    The three blank canvas one literally made me lol, btw. I always have this sense that it's an emperor's new clothes kinda thing. everyone PRETENDING to see something cool there... shrugs.

  • mooo

    uh, HELLO? 4 days w/o a post? You run off with the taco man?

  • LOBO

    Can anyone here give me an appraisal on my "Dogs Playing Poker" thingy?

    It's on genuine velvet!

  • Lord Likely

    The only art I am interested in is the art of love-making.

    My penis is my brush, and women are my canvas.

    It can get awfully messy, but I always produce a masterpiece.

  • VE

    Hey, there's a lot of talent to line up those three blank canvases evenly. That might have taken me part of a day...way too much effort.

  • searchingwithin

    That was just too funny for words. I would say more, but I am still picking myself up off of the floor from laughter.

  • DarkAngelMe

    I remember seeing an 'art piece' going for about $20,000. It was a diagonal line running across a canvas. The artist was saying something like ' Life is a line. It's starts here and ends here' I've never wanted a suicide bomber in the room as i did then!

    Check out this art, however - http://tonyblair-artistrat.blogspot.com/

    PS - i added you to my blogroll :-P

  • Kevin Goodman

    I had to tell Stoneman how it is over at

    http://www.blogcatalog.com/group/wikipedia/discuss/entry/anyone-wanna-take-over-group-ownership

    Any who. It's important to remember that art is not creation - all things are in state or cycle of creation. Art is an act of veneration and in regard to the first exhibit it is the veneration of the trickster archetype. In this sense the veneration is an expression about how much one can econamically get away with. Absolutely valid but way over done and exhausted.

    In some sense it is not even correct because there are three canvasas that in themselves creat a proper aesthetic composition - so that exhibit fails even at being nothing. But once again it's all alittle kitshy because Yves Klein already hyped and sold a show that turned out to be an empty gallery many decades ago. Kitsh or fine art posing as kitsh in guise of creative decadence?

  • antony

    Art? Abdolute rubbish. what happened to real talent. Nowadays it seems anyone you can defecate on a canvas can win the Turner prize...
