84 Examples Of Flawless Craftsmanship Wasted On Completely Unhinged Concepts (New Pics)
Not every piece of high-quality work is aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes, the final product can be such an eyesore, despite its artistry, that it leaves you with mixed feelings.
It’s the kind of work featured on the Awful Taste But Great Execution subreddit. As stated on the page’s profile, what you will find here as you browse through is “everything that displays quality craftsmanship in the least elegant way possible.”
If that somehow piqued your interest, here are some posts we gathered from the page. Feel free to upvote those that made you scratch your head the most.

Wow
One question people may have after scrolling through these photos could be something along the lines of, “How do you make an arguably horrible idea look so elegant?”
According to psychologist and creativity researcher Keith Sawyer, part of it is making use of the limitations you have through the materials at your disposal.

The look of discomfort on the face of the little one says it all.
“Ideas come from working with materials,” Sawyer said. "It’s a key part of the iterative exploratory process because the materials usually surprise you. Novelists often talk about characters in their books having a mind of their own, and engineers create prototypes and continually test their different features."

Sawyer’s latest book, titled Learning to See, provides insights into the creative processes of professional artists and designers, as well as how they teach others to be creative. According to him, his biggest takeaway is that constraint actually allows a more fluid flow of ideas.

“Making something new and original isn’t about sudden flashes of insight but about realizing how to look, to engage, and to be willing to tolerate the uncertainty of the process,” Sawyer said, noting that it is a habit that many artists and designers develop through constant practice.

This Taxidermy Combination
Elladine DesIsles 4 days ago
Are you all confident this is bad taxidermy? For all the rest of you Pandas know, maybe we Canadians are breeding these guys to defend our border. Would you take one look at an army of flying trash cobras and still threaten to make us a 51st state?
The uncertainty Sawyer speaks of is likely how many of these works came about. What started as a seemingly horrid idea turned into a piece of art worth bragging about, which is always a pleasant surprise.
“When we learn to see our own work more clearly, we open the door to discovering what it can become,” he said.

I totally agree "Incredible Craftsmanship On Absolutely Unhinged Ideas”. I like totally unhinged ideas, they're much more interesting than slightly unhinged ones.

I wonder how many are AI. The thing that worries me is that some genuinely are real.
