The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is a privately owned museum whose stated aim is "to celebrate the labor of artists whose work would be displayed and appreciated in no other forum".[1] It has at least two branches, one in Somerville, Massachusetts, and a second in Brookline, Massachusetts.[2] Its permanent collection includes 500 pieces of "art too bad to be ignored", 25 to 35 of which are on public display at any one time.[3] MOBA was founded in 1994, after antique dealer Scott Wilson showed a painting he had recovered from the trash to some friends, who suggested starting a collection.
Within a year, receptions held in Wilson's friends' home were so well-attended that the collection needed its own viewing space. The museum then moved to the basement of a theater in Dedham. History[edit] Lucy in the Field with Flowers (in original frame), the first of MOBA's collection, which inspired a museum "dedicated to the collection, preservation, and exhibition of really awful artwork"[7] Thefts[edit]

With the surfeit of net slates, iPads and the like coming down the pipe, it's easy to forget that the tablet PC, Bill Gates' baby, still exists. These aren't mainstream items and there is next to nothing out there written about using them for art. Which is daft, because many models use the same Wacom technology as an Intuos or Cintiq tablet. Because they're mostly used in business contexts and are purchased in bulk by organisations, they tend to filter back onto eBay after a couple of years and you can often find the most popular models in some number. So long as it's not a beater or ancient, put in some more RAM, a new hard drive, maybe get a nice Photodon screen protector and you will have a wholly serviceable computer for drawing and making comics on. I AM POOR (Most of these won't run Windows 7 satisfactorily due to missing drivers for video cards etc): CONVERTIBLES Toshiba Portege M400 Nicer!
What are the best Tablet PCs for art? 'Lost' Michelangelo Found In Oxford Dormitory (VIDEO, PHOTO) How would you react if someone told you there was a Michelangelo in your dormitory?
For at least one clergyman at the University of Oxford, the answer is "humbly. " A painting of the crucifixion, which hung in a small Jesuit residence at Oxford, is alleged to be the work of the great Renaissance master. Regarding the news, residents felt "a mixture of excitement and slight concern," according to BBC News. The master of Campion Hall, Father Brendan Callaghan, stated, "It's a very beautiful piece, but far too valuable to have on our wall any more. " The piece, bought in an auction in the 1930s, was thought to be the work of Michelangelo's contemporary, Marcello Venusti.
