That painting would be worth it except that there’s one blotch there that looks like bird shit. I’m sure it was unintentional but it detracts, you know?
Hang on, im gonna go print some pictures of other various household shit i have laying around…lets see, theres the fistful of broken crayons under the couch cushion, my stash of tampons in the cabinet above the toilet (i call it “abstract contemporary utilitarian”), and of course, whatevers growing on the leftovers in my fridge….maybe ill modpodge that to some fiberboard and pay off my mortgage.
Wait, I’m confused again. Is she selling chalk from Ikea, or a PICTURE of chalk from Ikea? I guess it doesn’t matter, even at $1.99 I’m not buying Ikea chalk because it’s too much of a pain in the ass to find a parking place.
#9….she’s selling the picture. And you know why she’s selling the picture? Because there are people stupid enough to actually pay for her shit. So I find myself pondering, who do we really blame here? The photography or the sheeple?

I guess if she didn’t get hired as the Ikea catalog photographer, this is the next best thing. Or not.
I may pay that kind of money for that photograph if it was taken by one of those 150 cats that were set loose in a UK Ikea overnight for an ad (and to pee on the couches).

that pink yarn thing reminds me of the photos of spiders that have been given LSD. Maybe that explains the pink yarn thing and a whole lot of other things on Etsy.
I want to view Ikea Chalk in a room before I buy to make sure it won’t clash with my equally shitty 5×7 print of a can of spanish language cat food from the dollar store.
Snare people in your sexual webs, eh? The only way this could be less dignifying would be if you crocheted it with your own pubes.
Magic Ends Flower of Love is actually one of those Magic Eye Paintings. If you stare at the center for 30 seconds, you see Roy Horn being fondled by a tiger.
Don’t me wrong… as someone who actually prefers to work in film over the unfulfilling crap that is digital any day, and understands fully the work it takes to make a good print yourself… photographs of random household items that were taken on drugstore film and then developed by a drugstore clerk will never be worth my eleven dollars.
Why Vhilo talk like Mongo fore? Why Vhilo use extra letter e fore? Candy gram for Vhilo! I’m gonna by me one of those 100,000 doller paintin’s but I’m gonna need a shit-load of dimes.
Buzzkill-I’d be willing to pay $11 for a video tape of that ad (I’mm in the States, so I doubt we’ll ever get to see it). Hell, I’d pay $11 for a picture taken from the video. But only if the cat’s actually peeing on the couch (I wanna get my money’s worth)
@ Hamoza:
would you believe i already knew about stink fights?
(also a bio geek!)
even given that there will be odoriferous prosimian courtship, i’ll take my chances.
at least they won’t attempt to sell you the aftermath.

Vhilo’s first language is so d’oh not English.
He prolly pronounces the b in subtle, but still Vhilo winz from you in nuance appreacheashun
“this is me, I am the Vhilo. I have as much understanding of color theory as there are strands of hair on my head so I eat crayons and vomit then I paint what I see put it on Etsy charge a fortune stand in front of it raise an eyebrow and look challenging. I am the Vhilo”
I just registered so that I could comment on the Magic Ends Flower of Love artist. He has another painting for sale that has a second painting on the back of it–he says it’s a surprise. I say he is too cheap to buy another canvas when he ruins one. (Painting is titled STRONGER)
In the Magic Ends Flower of Love post, Vhilo says, “Painted on Masonite=Fiberboard
And sprayed whit varnish to protect the painting.”
Ohhhh, too late, there’s a lil smudge right there . . . no, there . . . no, no, no, the other side . . . higher, higher, a little to the left . . . THERE! Right on the whole painting!
Ya know… Jackson Pollock never was featured on this site, but if the creator of Magic Ends Flower Of Love doesn’t wind up driving their car into a ditch, I’m still not sure who the better artist would be.
I’m new here…am I supposed to pick one out and comment in it? Oh, all right. The crochet loose dress. I could really get into that. No really, ANYONE could get into it.

Is there a picture of Jesus’s face in the “Magic Ends Flower of Love,” painting? Or was it done by that guy that shoots paint out of his butthole?
Or both?!?!
If not, I can’t see myself paying $100,000 for that painting.
November 12, 2010 at 4:25 pm
I wanna know where that free Valspar paint is.

November 12, 2010 at 4:46 pm
How???
How???
HOW did that “photographer” get that many sales?
The image isn’t even within focal tolerance, it’s flat, and has a light flare streaked down it.
Art?
November 12, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Nothing says WARNING POTENTIAL SUITORS: STAY AWAY quite like draping yourself in a scraggly tangle of yarn and pretending it’s a garment.
November 12, 2010 at 5:17 pm
You know, you actually save $11.00 on that “chalk print” by just printing the picture from the ikea site. Best of all, no trip to ikea for chalk.
November 12, 2010 at 5:21 pm
silly me! i thought i couldn’t think less of people than i already did today
i never thought that the difficult part about cynicism would be keeping up
…if anyone needs me i’ll be hanging out with the lemurs

but wait! it looks like the photograph of the chalk is in “vintage” discontinued ikea packaging. this of course makes it worth more!

If only they put a bow on the chalk pieces..then it would be handmade.

“abbytrysagain” should keep trying. Perhaps with correct spelling this time. Also, sandwich.
What?
It makes about as much sense as this other dumb shit.
November 13, 2010 at 8:50 am
Methinks Vhilo put the decimal in the wrong place. It should come before the 1.

If you need me, I’ll be drilling a hole in my brain with a pitchfork…

This seller has since tragically lowered the cost of the picture by $99,500. So now you only save $500.
