Welcome!

Artist statements are always a challenge to write, but some people really have a wonderful way of saying absolutely nothing and sounding surprisingly, convincingly deep. I've known this -- and been collecting bad examples -- for years, but when I saw the above quotation from Calvin I knew the time had arrive to take them public.

I'll try to limit myself to one example a day, but there may be more if I uncover something truly inspirational. I'll add art from time to time to add color to the page, but I promise not to make fun of other people's art; I'll just offer my own bad paintings and photos.  I have plenty!

I do want to say that there are some delightful artist statement generators on the web; feel free to explore and create your own bad artist statement.
