If I had $99,000 to spend on a painting of a hospitalized amputee with a kitten head being tended to by a woman with no face, this would probably be the one I’d go with. Depends on the frame.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the public. Good luck with your sale. Write back if you have a post operative transsexual riding a unicycle in hell with the hind legs of a goat and a priest on the handlebars.
Obviously………she was trying to save her kittens on the freeway when a drunk driver hit her and a little boy whose Mama just went to Heaven begged his Dad to pull over so they could take her to City of Kitty for life saving treatment.
You are killing me. I’m spreading this site all over FB. I’m an (admittedly lame) Etsy vendor who never laughed so hard. The titles of the posts are positively inspired! You WILL be famous.
It’s actually CALLED “Kitten Head on Amputee”… yes, joke. Every piece that this girl has listed is selling @ 99,000.00. I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
Most of this stuff is lame, but barely lame enough to warrant a response, and the vagina rants really do come off a tad like schoolyard histrionics. I don’t want cooter on a keychain, but all I have is an indifferent shrug for people who do.
This, on the other hand…
If I were independently wealthy, I’d gift this painting to someone just to watch them squirm. Then I would muster my most intense expression and tell them how sincerely the painting reminded me of them. It would be gloriously amusing.
Though, I could also do that very same thing with the sheepicorn for cheaper.
I laughed very hard when I saw this. It’s hilarious. Unfortunately, after checking out the shop, really nothing else there comes close to the cat head on the amputee.
Okay, now I’m really stressed!! Do I buy this painting or the Rat Pack painting……?????Cause I don’t need to pay my car off with these two pieces of art up for grabs!!
I swear this picture is great just for the title you’ve paired it with. I think if it had those words on it in big bold white impact font with black outline, it would be worth the 99,000. Without it, it’s just another picture of a misplaced kitten head.

This has GOT to be a joke. No way could someone take this seriously. People are INSANE.

It begs to be painted on black velvet!

this is the best website i have ever seen in all of the internet.

when your painting would make more sense int eh context of a fetish community….you’re doing something wrong

love your humor

Love your site! Wish I could do something with my life, but I’m to busy pretending to be Tyler Durden.

aren’t we all going to eat our words when these become the darlings of the outsider art scene!

This website is genius. I thought it was a spoof. I can’t believe these are real items.

Ok, I will give you this one.

the most disturbing part of it is that it looks like it came from a paint by numbers kit

Hmmmm 6 peices of her work are up for sale at $99,000 and she hasn’t sold any yet. It’s a mystery.

“…against their policy, so it is now a low priced print to keep it up.”
She is totally serious about this whole thing. Go check out the rest of the paintings. There’s a whole description! …I kinda give her props for that.

the price went down to $120. inflation?

I agree with other posts. This is a weird painting, simply strange and would be frightening if in ones bedroom as the cat would be overpowering.
