Not really, because I've seen art labeled as master level that doesn't seem all that different (looking at pictures online) from some of these.

I don't have time to poke around much. What is the source of these things? Are they pieces put forward as good art or simply found examples of bad art. I'd hate to be making fun of a 7-year-old, or someone who knows that they aren't good but are simply trying to get better at it.

I know that is one reason I shy away from trying to learn to paint (which I'd love to do). I know I would suck at it (even with significant improvement) but hate doing things I know I'm bad at in front of other people. It took a lot before I even started sharing photographs I take even though I know they aren't as good as really good photography (but I think they tend to be better than simple snapshots), I think I'd probably stop if I ever stumbled on one at a web site dedicated to mocking bad photography.

(I know, an overly serious post -- from ME? a shocker that is -- about a fun link, but that is the thinking it prompted in me.)
