UPDATE: The artist has been such an incredibly good sport that I’ve decided to close comments on this. She has taken it like a champ and even joined in on Facebook. These are the kinds of sellers we love; able to laugh at themselves, give a little shit back, and cash in. PEACE!

Piece out.
July 7, 2010 at 4:35 pm
I don’t think it’s the camera that’s terrible.
July 7, 2010 at 4:38 pm
“All we are saying….is give peace a chance” and this painting is so not worth $75.
July 7, 2010 at 4:39 pm
so in other words, the painting actually looks like absolute shit in black light, so i’m not going to show you the whole thing.
July 7, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Yeah, I’ll bet it was mixed with Deep Purple.
July 7, 2010 at 4:43 pm
glow in the dark…so we can’t even get away from it with the lights off???????
July 7, 2010 at 4:44 pm
I think you have to be high to appreciate this. Too bad the Sixties are over.
July 7, 2010 at 4:45 pm
That, my friend, is no Double Rainbow ALL THE WAY. OH MY GOD…
July 7, 2010 at 4:49 pm
There’s a vagina in there, right?
July 7, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Painting whilst under the influence worked for Dali, Van Gogh and Pollock but for this person, not so much.
July 7, 2010 at 4:53 pm
OMG, my roommate freshman year of college made something eerily similar to this. She thought it was AWESOME.
July 7, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Finally, a use for the mother-in-law’s old neon-colored bingo sponge-thingies. I gotta call her right now!
July 7, 2010 at 4:54 pm
ok….um…..yeah, wow.
Ok, read her profile. It explains a lot.
July 7, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Hippies don’t have $75 just lying around is all I’m saying.
July 7, 2010 at 5:00 pm
that thing is an act of war against art.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN??????????????????????????
July 7, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Was this painted with their toenails? Maybe it will be sold to the same person who bought the thong pad that was pre-used.
July 7, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I’d like to give her a “peace” of my mind for posting this crap
July 7, 2010 at 5:06 pm
bettymachete-I’ll bet there are several vaginas lurking in this canvas!
July 7, 2010 at 5:10 pm
tools required:
1) paint
2) canvas
3) masking tape
4) penis
July 7, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Okay, I give-was it the scrotum used to apply the paints?
July 7, 2010 at 5:32 pm
I’ve been spending WAAAAAY too much time on Regretsy. My first thought was “Yeah, that’s steampunk.” My second was “Were those dots made by somebody’s nipple?”
July 7, 2010 at 5:32 pm
Even calling this Sponge Blob is a compliment …
July 7, 2010 at 5:37 pm
This is not sponge worthy.
July 7, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Guys, guys, don’t be so MEAN! If you read the profile, the seller is obviously a mentally challenged teenager. At heart, anyway.
Hey, kudos for getting the peace sign right.
July 7, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Best. View-it-in-a-Room. Ever.
July 7, 2010 at 6:04 pm
That’s the sweetest dumpster I’ve ever seen on Esty. Too bad that peace of crap painting detracts the eye from its organic steampunkness.
July 7, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Peace of crap.
July 7, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Hey, it DOES look great in blacklight!:

July 7, 2010 at 6:34 pm
I love the room. I wonder if she’s selling the dumpster as well…

perfect example of attempted psychedelia minus the drugs
July 7, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Helen Killer — you slay me!
Only $75.00 for this magnificent work? How will I ever decide between this or “Raining Lead” — ooh, ooh, “Raining Lead” is on sale!!!!

July 7, 2010 at 6:40 pm
No, no, no! I can’t believe that Anyone’s Daughter would paint this. Fools. It takes a Strange Kind of Woman to make something like this.
July 7, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Some hippy must owe 75 buck to their drug dealer.
July 7, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Sellers profile says :
“I think too much, and sometimes it hurts.”
Creating art that can barely be seen in the dark must have really hurt.
July 7, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Okay, I get that people need to start somewhere, and there should be a particular level of respect for art and all that crap… but don’t go selling crap that I could do with my left hand behind my back on etsy for $75. You might get away with $45 if it comes with the black light. And free shipping. And a frame. Best VIIAR EVER!
July 7, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Goddamn it the thumbs downers are out and I accidentally clicked the red thumb on you Raz..damn it, when I was trying to cancel out a red thumb. Sorry.
July 7, 2010 at 8:09 pm
I think I know the source of the red thumbs. There’s a very unhappy person on facebook who, apparently, hates us.
July 7, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Do yourselves a favor and bask in the glory of the rage that is now the description of her painting, before it is gone forever.
July 7, 2010 at 8:26 pm
*poof* and it’s gone! *sigh*

Maybe this is hipster psychedelia, where instead of drugs you eat vegan, drink soy lattes and pretend you know anything about the 60′s.
July 7, 2010 at 8:27 pm
It’s gone already. For those who didn’t see it, essentially, it had the heading as FUCK REGRETSY, the price was changed to $100,000 and she said to fuck everyone on Regretsy. Then a minute later it was completely removed. The End.
July 7, 2010 at 8:28 pm
A fantastic miracle has happened!! The artist went through the five stages in one wicked flash, and is now a fan of the Facebook page!! It was an amazing thing to witness! First there was peace, then there was hatred and rage mixed with peace! Then there was acceptance and peace, and now there is peace and whimsicle fuckery!! Woo!!!
July 7, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Folks…the seller’s being a good sport on the Facebook page. Don’t forget to check out this listing http://www.etsy.com/listing/48209051/censor-me-hidden-message-16×20-acrylic?ref=v1_other_1
July 7, 2010 at 8:32 pm
And the original listing went from $75, to 100k and now it’s $15
July 7, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Niki, I’m so, SO sorry I called you a mentally challenged teenager.
I’m sure you’re older than that.
(P.S. I’m a mentally challenged geezer with terrible taste.)
July 7, 2010 at 9:28 pm
$ 15.00 is a steal, alas it doesn’t go well with my steamy funky shabby & not too chic decor.
VEDD, I <3 you for the second day in a row.

Sometimes I am baffled by what people think they can sell. Now that this thing is $25, I’m sure someone here will buy it.
July 8, 2010 at 12:33 am
The head shop by my house used to have a “blacklight room” filled with shitty blacklight posters just like this (okay, better than this).
I went there one time on acid just to see if it would be “trippy” or cool or whatever.
It was really boring, and I ended up getting way more interested in the beaded curtain. I think the sales staff was pretty used to frying teens zoning out on their turf, cause they let me play with the thing for hours.
July 8, 2010 at 3:01 am
The title is still “Fuck Regretsy”, and apparently whoever buys it gets a printout of these comments to go along with it… Hmm, I should use this opportunity to say something amazing…
July 8, 2010 at 5:14 am
“Materials:
your mother, poop, and a canvas”
Very mature :\

“I have a bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of Illinois at Springfield.”
So stop trying to paint masterpieces. Let the artists do that.
July 8, 2010 at 7:04 am
I don’t understand the bad reviews on this painting. Maybe it’s because I was born in the early 60′s. At $75, it was a middling piece of art at a middling price. Not the worst piece of art on Etsy. I’m defending the piece. All this vitriol from you guys is befitting much worse pieces.
July 8, 2010 at 7:07 am
Peace sign? Blacklight?
Did I fall asleep and wake up in 1967?
July 8, 2010 at 7:18 am
The artist TOTALLY missed the boat on the sale.
1) NEVER acknowledge your appearance on Regretsy until the sale is over. This gives the snark who buys it the feeling that they’ve ambushed the sale and stolen it away.
2) NEVER change the price (up or down)
3) NEVER pull the item. It makes you look weak. Snarks smell blood in the water and attack.
4) NEVER assume that because you’re pouring your heart into your art that people give a shit.
