Creating a successful artwork needs both talent and imagination. Some people devote their entire life to it and but still can't produce a work that makes a name for themselves. However, there is a silver lining in each cloud. Occasionally, artists produce works that are so terrible and bizarre that seem to be rather excellent in their own special ability.
Take a look at Terrible Art in Charity Shops, a Facebook page dedicated to all of the strange and amusing art seen in thrift stores. And its 239k+ members are excited to share the strangest works of art they've come across, leaving no doubt as to how they came up there in the first place.
