Frankly, if I wanted to see flies fucking, I would go to a cow pasture or a crime scene. You know, somewhere where it wouldn’t cost me $450!!!!

This is very well done, I think, and looking at the shop, the person has a real ability to paint, unlike so many.
This person is also in need of serious counseling, to rid them of the “I’m so shocking and avant-garde” complex they have.
File under “Pompous hipster dumbass.”

Yes, this may be the most talented artist on Regretsy so far. That being said, I just can’t see myself wanting to buy a picture of flies fucking… Especially when the flies were probably just dining on some old dog poop before this ;P LOL!!

While the subject matter is rather unappealing, I have to say that this really doesn’t fit the Regretsy I’ve come to know and love. This person is an excellent artist and very talented, however dark his subject matter might be.

entomological sex.. well this is different. i give him credit for not only a good accurate depiction of copulation of insects but for painting an original idea….. in photography,, not so much.

Is it wrong that I like The Eyeball Eaters? Not $1500 worth of like, mind you. But I dig it.

And it’s bugging me that I can’t name all the clowns. From left to right:

1. Jack Nicholson’s Joker
2. Cesar Romero’s Joker
3. Heath Ledger’s Joker
4. Krusty
5. ???
6. Captain Spaulding
7. Pennywise
8. Jigsaw
9. ???
10. ???
11. Homey
12. ???
13. Ronald McDonald

The ones I can’t name look familiar, but I can’t place…

#53 Kamikaze-go-in Straight To Hell :

I get that art can be, to some extent, subjective and that Kelly is a competent graphic artist; OF COURSE this painting belongs here. My college art history professor always assigned the same final exam essay, choose one of a list of paintings, explain if you would or would not hang it in your living room and why. That’s what makes Ms. Killer’s “View This Image In A Room” so insightful.

#40, I’m on the fence here. Talent winning over bullshit and urinals gives me hope and snugglies. I gleefully tear open each issue of Hi-Fructose that finds its way to my mailbox.

But, on the other hand, its so repetitive and ripoff-driven that I’m perpetually at ‘wtf?’

I’d say this person is doing a mediocre dollar store impression of Ron English, minus the swank anatomy badassness of Mr. English.

And contrary to #25 I think the fact the clock says 4:20 is another tribute to the artist’s humour and attention to detail! Awesome.
