The pieces in the MOBA collection range from the work of talented artists that have gone awry to works of exuberant, although crude, execution by artists barely in control of the brush. What they all have in common is a special quality that sets them apart in one way or another from the merely incompetent.

UNLIKELY LANDSCAPES, SEASCAPES, AND STILL LIFES The Artistic License is available to one and all.

IN THE NOOD Warning: contains noodity

BLUE PEOPLE We can tell much about an artist by their choice of skin tones.

POOR TRAITS The human (or canine) condition, brought forth into the spotlight.

HERE THE SYMBOLS CRASH A celebration of the obscure. Cunning artistry hides as well as reveals.

Recent acquisitions Fresh new talent is discovered, sometimes quite by accident

Controversy Trouble at MOBA

Preservation The preservation of this incompetent body of artwork is our highest priority, except during occasional exhibitions in local car washes
