Hi Pachy (what's a pachyderm again?) ... *goes to the dictionary* oh yeah, a thick skinned animal like an elephant or rhinoceros :rotfl:

I was just on that website yesterday, what a coincidence! My favorite is the one of Mary and Jesus - it's very sweet even if one of her hands has only 4 fingers . I wish I could get a picture of it. As for the other pieces of "art", some of it is hard to look at and other stuff is very interesting from a creative standpoint. You could see where the artist was headed, but somehow it went awry!

Have you actually been to one of them? I think there are two galleries. The stories are funny too. The one of the nude that had all the young boys going to see it during a movie in the theatre. The teacher finally figured it out. The painting was near the men's washroom.

The mother of Jesus is depicted as only having 4 fingers? Shows us we are ALL human, even if we are the mother of God!!!

Not for sure about the "Bad Art" thing as it is better than any thing I could ever come up with... I really liked some of it.

Yeah, I kind of liked some of it too. I could see why they would call it bad art, but personally i don't think there is any such thing as "bad" art, because its completely subjective!

Completely subjective is right! I'm an art teacher, an artist as well. Thanks for sharing this link. I enjoyed it immensely!
