Barack Obama’s campaign last year inspired a lot of great street art. But it also inspired some really, really bad paintings. Now a new website has emerged to document all that horribly misplaced creativity.
Here are some of the best (or worst) examples from the website:

C’mon – a third eye? Really? Yeah, that’s not setting expectations too high.

OK, now he was two eyes on one side of his face. It’s getting worse.

Let’s carefully analyze what’s going on in this painting. You’ve got Obama with a taco on his head. And he’s holding what I can only assume is men’s underwear. And he’s surrounded by men and women who are also in their underwear and holding various tacos. Oh, and the Mexican flag is flying over the White House. Really, what can one say about this painting? It’s really quite brilliant in its utter zaniness.
