here, I’ll save you all the trip:
“Birgitte’s work as a NYC-based social-commentary painter has spanned almost two decades. In her paintings, Birgitte dares to tell the truth about the struggles of living in society as a woman in a humorous and cartoon-like manner; giving new and entertaining insights into the female perspective on society. Some of her favorite topics to illustrate are: body image issues, eating disorders, relationship struggles, low self-esteem and being a career woman in society. Her simple, child-like depictions are conceived in a variety of mediums: oil, acrylic, pencil, nail polish and mixed media.”
…from the profile of BirgittePhilippides.
I guess this qualifies as a “body image issue”. Although, really, she’s got big tits but no clothes, except for that silly bow.
Heh…I like that they say that her work is simple, child-like. Like she ‘chooses’ to draw that way, not that she is incapable of drawing better. Come on…no one can face this low level of talent!
Nice wrinkled paper, also. That and the bad scan job just scream professional!
$50? I call Shenanigans! Go to the actual Etsy listing of this item. Click on the image and it will open in another window full size. Right click. You just saved a crappy ass picture and $50.
I love how it’s printed on fancy Epson paper the creme de la creme of doodling something for about 2 minutes in big pen and thinking you can make millions for.
Next up, the wonderful work of child fingerpainting on cardboard.
If I order I hope I get an early enough print to be worth something later….you know somewhere between print number 2 thru 15/50 becuase I’m sure the first one has already sold.
It kills me that she didn’t even see fit to clean up the scan. And it’s literally printed on regular printer paper. 50 bucks and you get a print out of a bad scan of a bad drawing. Fucking hell. 6th grade boys draw this shit.
I guess that as long as you put an interesting sounding label on it like ‘social commentary artist’ you can get away with showing reallllyyy bad drawings.
Oh boy, this chick is in BIG TROUBLE!!!! I give NO ONE the right to sell my image!!! My husband spotted this and immediatly recognized those big saggy breasts and chronic back ache. We’re sueing big time BUCKO!
I just drew a picture of my fart. Now Helen make sure to trash it and I’ll be sure to post it on Etsy. I’ll be making out with all y’all’s money while I get a massage from an extremely hot employee at some 5 star tropical resort sippin margaritas… cha cha cha!
i am thrilled, to say the least.
on her site, in her bio, it says, “her paintings caused quite a lot of pain within the family. Her mother was conflicted, simultaneously thrilled that her daughter was painting but horrified, tearful and embarrassed after seeing each piece that she finished. Her father was amused, but silent, and her brother was clearly mortified.”
somehow, this does not surprise me.
Ah, self-portraits. i know what she needs – some drive through pants. Perhaps in orange zebra print. And something to cover up those spike-tipped balloons.
Thank gods its on matte paper, because glossy would just do it no justice.
Oh lord, #33heidrun, I feel another vulva complex in the making. Maybe a titty complex too this time. I bet cramming those suckers into some clay is going to take some effort.
Back when I was in art school, I learned that putting text on your painting is cardinal sin #1. I can’t imagine a mathematics equation is exempt from that.
depicting personal matters without any trace of artistic thought or subtlety _and_ with poor technique _and_ writing the title on it that only repeats what is obvious anyway might be a cardinal sin, though.

I think that this seller is an elementary school teacher and she ripped this from one of her students, or her husband.

i’m pretty sure i saw this drawn in the margins of my 9th grade history book 20+ years ago.

I like to see bad art that I can relate to
October 15, 2009 at 10:59 am
Fifty dollars? Seriously? Etsy, where student doodles can be turned into cash… *sigh*

Oh, good. I see from Birgitte’s site that she specializes in image consulting. Makes perfect sense.
October 15, 2009 at 12:55 pm
She gots big tits and even longer arms!
October 15, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Holy Crap! She shows this stuff in public!

October 15, 2009 at 3:06 pm
“7lbs + 7lbs = 14lbs”
Thanks for the math lesson, Birgitte.
October 15, 2009 at 4:31 pm
here’s another little math lesson. 4 toes+4 toes= 8 toes
October 15, 2009 at 5:25 pm
She should really be more concerned that her nipples are sharper than a pair of lawn darts.
October 15, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Something for Gumby to masturbate over.
That gives me an idea. I’ll (childishly) draw a picture of Gumby masturbating, and sell it for fifty bucks.
October 15, 2009 at 6:33 pm
What are those on the end of her tits? Inflating needles?

i also see why she does neither have the time put a little more effort in her pictures nor to do the scans right – she’s polyamorous and has about 5?6?7? partners!

boy, that MUST be time-consuming.

October 18, 2009 at 3:17 am
Only in New York would people consider this art and allow her to display it in public.
November 9, 2009 at 11:21 am
Hans Holbein’s “Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve (The Ambassadors)” = social commentary + art.
Birgitte’s “She’s Got Big Tits” = social commentary + a steaming pile of crap.
There used to be a time when skill and talent got you somewhere, whether you had something important to say or not.
November 19, 2009 at 2:35 am
I really sympathize with the body image issues being represented in this piece. The 8-toed women of the world need to feel empowered!
September 10, 2010 at 5:36 pm
SHE’S GOT BIG TITS
And feet like one of the monsters from “Where the Wild Things Are”
April 23, 2011 at 12:36 am
Thank GOD she did the math for us.
May 14, 2011 at 4:13 am
Looking at her wrinkled forhead, no wonder her tits are falling. she’s fuckin’ Old, Man!
