If you look close enough at the paintings in this collection known as 'Involuntary Collaborations,' you might notice some things that don't quite seem to belong: comically hilarious monsters.
Created by an anonymous artist who purposely goes to yard sales with the hopes of picking up cheap paintings, 'Involuntary Collaborations' is a collection of kitschy art that has been retroactively improved with the addition of some seriously mischievous monsters. Despite being purposely zany, however, the additions are so skillfully added that they fit in remarkably well with the original artwork, despite the dramatically different inspirations of the two artists involved.
And while the original creator of these paintings might have something to say about his work being monsterfied, I think it goes without saying that any painting with a goofy creature in it is going to trump one that is without ten times out of ten.
