A thrift store is a truly wonderful place for sustainable fashion enthusiasts and those looking to broaden their fashion horizons with some unique clothing pieces. Though if you've ever been to one, you probably know how bizarre they sometimes tend to get.
People following this one Instagram account called thriftstoreart know this quite well. The account we're talking about is purely dedicated to all kinds of weird and questionable art objects found at thrift stores, and it currently has over 6,000 posts and more than 183,000 followers.

I love how the earrings are just pierced through the side of her head. Yup. That's what I'm going to focus on. The earrings. Nothing below the earrings to see. Nope, not a thing.
Another actor. Lost to drugs. So. Dang. Sad. There is some crack in my boot
This is actually from a Guam myth, a fisherman finds a small statue of mary and gives her to the church and when a random guy starts to clean her she bleeds, so they call the fisherman to clean her and she doesn't bleed anymore. (sorry if this is incorrect, it's been awhile since I've read it)
Is this dollhouse furniture or life sized? I kinda need to know so I can properly scale my horror.
"wheres the beef?" was a thing wendys used to have commercials for and their catchphrase and stuff because on most burgers the meat patty was smaller than the bun so their thing was that they had square patties so you could always see the beef sticking out of the bun. (i know some of you will already know this but for those of u that dont theres a random fact)
Bottom left isn't really all that bad. ~~ Bottom middle looks like he just farted in a packed car and he's the one controlling the windows.
When you see someone you really don’t like but you have to smile anyway
give them to me they're uhh.... for uhhh... friend definitely not me.... *lies in ogre*
I really don't see any kind of connection between the biblical Jesus and Trump. He is the antithesis of his teachings.
I HAVE THIS BOOK! They produced two, and I have them both - they're 'Why Paint Cats?' and 'Why Cats Paint'. For the first one, it's almost entirely digitally produced art. The second one is a pretend art book showing cats doing perfectly normal things but interpreting them as art. They're both hilarious and very tongue in cheek.
This is a follow-up to a book called "Why Cats Paint" full of photos of "paintings" and other works done by real cats. Each example is accompanied by a pseudo-scholarly exegesis of the aesthetics and themes which the cats have employed. It's a hoot if you ever went to art school. It sold so well that they then published "Why Paint Cats". I'm pretty sure the paint on the cats was photoshopped -- can't imagine real cat sitting still for this kind of thing.
PEOPLE do a little research. It's all photoshop and made to make fun of people who actually do paint their animals
'Why Paint Cats' and 'Why Cats Paint' are two books by the same group - they're satires of the art world. Of the two, Why Cats Paint is funnier, IMO - it's pretty good at skewering certain ideas. The producers were very surprised when people took 'Why Cats Paint' seriously, and tried to get more bizarre. Only to find that people...thought they were serious, and that the painting was real (it isn't, it's photo manip as they later discussed in interviews).
I got this as a gift once and can confirm it's photoshopped - no cats were actually painted.
When they translated this book title into other languages, it was "Tarted Up Cats. Paint Them."
After you accidentally poison your cats, you can consult Simon Bond' essential volume, "101 uses for a dead cat".
First it's the nude and creepy aliens, then it was some nude man, now it's this! someone save us

Thrift stores can be wild rides. Especially private ones in rural areas... Those people don't get out much and it shows.
