Spaghetti Bender

This painting is such a piece of shit that I actually laughed out loud while I was making it!

That’ll be $25.

      Pehaps it is the promotional art for “The Puke, The Scat and The Ugly.”

      I was thinking “hairball chucked up by a very ill cat”.

    There are lots of things I think this looks like. Spaghetti is not one of them.

      I thought it was a wad of gum. I have nothing funny to say about it, I just thought it was a wad of gum that the painter thought, “Let’s sew some strings into it aaaand, done, it is art.”

    It’s like some knitted soft animal toy reproduced, and this is its afterbirth.

      Well, either afterbirth or roadkill…

    Ah, this brings me back to the halcyon days when I was potty training my son. “Mommy! I pooped!” always turned into a hunt for said poop’s exact location. The yellowish tinge on the canvas is an excellent touch.

      The degrade of colour from yellow to red as it spreads from that glob of.. stuff.. is indeed a nice touch, quite reminiscent of the halo test for csf in severe head injuries (except inversed).

    My cat has similar artistic tendencies. Time for her to start earning her room and board!

    Looks like what I’d see in the backyard after the dog had too many snacks under my sewing table.

    I had that idea years ago. Okay, it was a regurgitating cat artist. Close enough.

    I’d be laughing too if I thought someone was dumb enough to buy some half-assed thing I made.

    The one item that she sold isn’t bad, though… I would have liked to see what else she did with woodburning.

    As hilariously chunky as this is, I actually think it’s a fair asking price for the painting. It probably just barely covers the cost of materials. Canvasses can be expensive, man.

      Yes, but sometimes the artwork actually devalues the materials.

    I honestly like the background, and if her cat hadn’t coughed a hairball up onto it it maybe it would have turned into a nice painting.

    Alternative names for this piece: ‘Deconstructed Cat Vomit’, ‘Dehydrated Placenta of Death’, or (my favorite) ‘I Ran Out Of Toilet Paper”.

      Ah, I see Etsy’s added a new “unavailable listing” screen.

      “Darn”? I’m surprised they didn’t go with “shucks.”

      Anyway, did you spot this gem in the similar items?

        If this is the closest I will ever be to being featured on Regretsy, I’ll take it. (I mean, I DID get into the Skant finalists, but this is much better!)

    Is that vomit on a canvas? Can she even legally sell that if it is?

    And when I saw, all the cutsey wootsey little strings remind me of yummy wummy spaghetti! Heeheehee!

    Jesus, pull yourself together. You are, I’m presuming, not a kitten or some sort of adorkable wide-eyed alien seeing planet Earth for the first time. There’s a clue about what’s wrong with your product in your description: “like a one-year old might do.”

    This painting reminds me of the night when I was 5 years old and was randomly sick after eating spaghetti. Plot twist: I missed the toilet.

    As for why etsy ditched it, the items would have to be handmade & etsy don’t play that!
