Thrift Store Art fame


This is what happens when you sell your bad art on ebay. 
You're immortalized in the pantheon of wretched failure, thriftstoreart.com.
I actually got quite a thrill scrolling down through all the bad art and suddenly, WTH!

Ellis, that is unbelievable!! Ouch!

Hey, it's not a bad painting. It is an unfinished painting. Tho' I guess you were selling it on eBay....what class did you do that in? At Watts'??

Why didn't we ever take a painting class together? How fun would it have been to do a group painting class at Blue Sky?

And, as has been pointed out elsewhere, even more unbelievable that Freddie Mercury posed for your class....

--and PLEASE tell me you have the stones to comment on that thread and take credit as this work's author. OWN YOUR GREATNESS AND LET THE LITTLE SWINE SQUEAL THEIR DISPLEASURE.

I know you have the stones--a great big pair of OKC boulders. Do it. Do it for the follows. Tell them the tale of said work's creation.

This is where I painted. No Watts but it's where he went. I had classes with several great painters. Glen Orbik figure drawing quick sketch class.
