Bad Public Art (This challenge is now closed)
Could this be the worst piece of public art ever? We are sure that you can do worse, so open photoshop and post your monstrosities on the board. Bonus points if your local council displays your piece.

This seemed like a good idea at the time...
...and looked SO much better in my head....

I know it's against the rules as it's a true photo, unshopped as it were, but this is something I saw on holiday in Madeira recently.

Dear User C,
Thank you again.
I can see on your language, that we have had a conversation before. You are constantly improving my English.
Allow me to quote from my web site - www.lonvig.dk - when you click on a highly visible button in the top of the main page - ATTENTION www.lonvig.dk/attention.htm
"MY WAY"
This web site presents my way of making art and design.
My view of art and design is controversial.
When I make drafts I use a pencil, a filling knife, a brush, a computer or something else.
What you see in this web site is made with one of these tools.
Many images on this web site and the online galleries I use are drafts not yet painted, printed, erected as sculptures or whatever the intention of the drafts might be.
A combination of "art on demand" and commissioned art work.
Genre: Colorful Simplicity.
People call me an artist or artist/designer - to keep it simple, I do so too.
I know that some people
don't like (..even disgust) me, my style, my tools and the way of promoting my art works.
I accept that.
And
I concentrate upon serving those who
accept (..even love) me, my style, my tools and my way of promoting my art works.
See artistic concept and copyrights, business concept and disclaimer, where I very clearly explain, how I work.
I am proud of doing it my way.
In the live art magazine Colorful News there is an editorial explaining the same ting: See www.lonvig.dk/colorful-news.htm#editorial
And let me give you an example of people who don't disgust my work - a new book by Parisian author Alain Joannes is titled "How to communicate through pictures" tells about the painting "Soul Hurting Still" sold to a customer in Spain.

Have a nice day.
Sincerely,
