One of my favorite artists is Donald Roller Wilson. He paints beautiful pictures of weird things, like well-dressed chimps holding giant cigarettes, and cats wearing dresses while smoking. He also writes hilarious but totally deadpan descriptions to all his paintings. I recommend you read every last one of them.Today I saw posted on Boing Boing an item about some cheap, weird paintings being offered on eBay, and lo-and-behold, they look a lot like Wilson paintings.
Of course, there's no way these are real, and the whole thing is incredibly shady, with the paintings most likely being painted by other people in China, but man. I am really tempted. I mean, how can I live without this painting in my life? I also wonder where fake paintings fall in Boing Boing's whole open copyright BS...
Edited to add: By the way, on that Boing Boing post, I was the one who orginally pointed out the Donald Roller Wilson connection. Just sayin'.
