Dehumanizing art


Alex has requested that I post more "bottom of the barrel" art, and I gleefully comply. This turtle, named Koopa, is forever doomed to muck about in acrylic paint for the edification of its owner. Each painting has a section with process photos, and, at the bottom, an illustration of how the product would look above your couch. Oh, happy day!

For the record: By saying this is "bottom of the barrel", I'm not saying, "This shouldn't have been made, and is an affront to taste." Not at all.
These turtle made paintings are fun and hold a certain degree of interest. And to a certain extent, the owner of the "painter" is sincere in her love of her pet and its works.
That said, the paintings are bad. Being a curmudgeon, I need to know, "Why? For chrissakes, WHY?"
The part of the site that has me in convulsions is the "Testimonials" section.

I think Koopa will definitely be considered a pioneer in modern abstract art. Best of luck to you and Koopa!"
