40 Times People Spotted Such Delusional Artists They Just Had To Shame Them In This Online Group (New Pics)
I remember sitting in art class as a child and just having the best time creating my little masterpieces. An oil pastel depiction of trees reflected on a river in the forest, a rainbow fish with gold outlines, a small sculpture that was intended to be a Christmas ornament, drawings of my childhood home and watercolor paintings of a farm in the country. Making art is so relaxing and exhilarating, and it’s a great way for kids to get in touch with their creative side. However, one thing I knew even as a small child was that I’m not cut out to be an artist. I’m just not that great.
Sure, if you put your mind to something, you can always improve, and I’m not in the business of squashing anyone’s dreams. But sometimes, if a skill really does not come naturally to you, it’s okay to move on and find something else you can actually do well. Unfortunately, there are some people out there who are a bit too persistent in their artistic endeavors…
Allow me to introduce you to the Delusional Artists subreddit. We’ve gathered some of our favorite posts from the group down below, which is dedicated to shaming artists who lack self-awareness and sometimes simple logic as well, so you too can enjoy the work of these knock-off van Goghs, Picassos and Monets. Keep reading to also find an interview we were lucky enough to receive from artist Jill Arwen Posadas to hear her thoughts on the topic. Be sure to upvote the pics of pieces you think the artists should be paying their customers to take, and then if you’re interested in seeing even more of these masterpieces, you can find Bored Panda’s last article on the same subreddit right here.

What do you think ?

Maybe it's the artist in me ...maybe it's my tender heart....But CLEARLY some, if not many, of these projects were done by someone who was really trying, and spending their time trying to create something, just to be s**t on by snobs. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think laughing at other peoples creative attempts is terrible. For shame bored panda....for shame.

Vast debate... but in my opinion those who are posted here, for the most part, are people who simply have no perspective or any objective appreciation of what they do and imagine themselves to be an "artist". That said, there are creations which are interesting graphically and technically but which are clearly not at all successful and are possibly a starting point but it stops there and certainly do not deserve to be offered for sale.

Looking around very a national gallery . Everyone was stepping over a row of bricks laying across the room. No it wasn't for a renovation it was an "art" installation!

LOL I know that exhibit well, was looking up and tripped on the bricks. Quickly put them back in place only to have my husband do the same thing. We then spent a while watching people doing the same thing. There was a guard in the room, wonder if her job was to make people “clean up” if the tried to leave without resetting the bricks.
