Finger My Knothole

Posted on January 7, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Edward de Bozo saw this amazing sight , in full view of the public, in that sudden worst hotspot White Bum Valley. Astounding. It’s nice we’re getting some artworks happening again. Has she left clawmarks in her own boozie? Now this is a quality worst right.

Rench Fries, Urger Rings

Posted on January 6, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Some product related pics. One from Jen via IGA Kinross. (Kinross, like White Bum Valley, is a suburb I’ve never been to). Another from Outrage Cohen. Lynx may be using their famous “irony”. IGA maybe not. Surprisingly, Outrage has the better focused shot. A first?

A New Hope

Posted on January 6, 2010 by AHC McDonald

I have to go back to WAtching for this, but I am going to have to post several a day to clear the backlog of good material I’m getting. Here is the desolation of hope in White Gum Valley. Now that’s somewhere to worship! No inside shots WAtching?

Hosin’ Around

Posted on January 5, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Shamefully I had neglected this one from Shazza. I’d buy this before I’d buy THIS, but is this Fremantle piece worst or not worst?

Cocos Interruptus

Posted on January 5, 2010 by AHC McDonald

WAtching has been hassling me to use this fine worst for a while. I have just had so many pics in the last two weeks. 30 or more! Cool your jets. I don’t even know if the Jim’s pic is a photoshopped joke or for real. But that’s Perth and that’s cocoss isn’t it? It could easily be for real with that satanistic papyrus font. It’s actually kind of cool that these guys have turned some crippled Triffids – I mean Cocos into Roman columns. I’d say not worst if the rest of the house wasn’t so outre. I prefer what they’ve done on this one though.

Crab my Backside

Posted on January 4, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Poor old crab town. Now that the bypass has devestated the prostitution industry, all that’s left is the plaintive call of the crab, which if you have been following TWOP Twitter is under threat too. “Gay crabs” hit estuary numbers. Homosexual-like activity, rampant in Mandurah species of swimmer crabs has reduced spawning by 40%. Scientists…
From Mark, who has had one of his personal worsts featured long ago. Also Meccano chimes in all timely with a Yarra River attempt at one upmanship crab style. I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m back to work today after holidays, but I just want to say, fuck off Mandurah. You’re bypassed. It’s over man. You’re just dead gay crab meat twisting in the wind.

Time’s Arrow’s Doodle Weekend Worstoff 89

Posted on January 2, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Since it’s still holidays, let Weekend Worstoff be the first doodle graffiti conversion for the year. I’m sure there will be more.  Off Milligan Street. Another from Jeffrey Phillips.

More than a horse’s arse

Posted on January 1, 2010 by AHC McDonald

I’ve set this to post in the first minute of 2010. Cimbali sent a shot from Margaret River fit to open the new year. Worst or not worst? Does anyone like it? Certainly for technique it outdoes Alsatian Rampant, the yardstick by which all paintings are measured. But how would I know if this is great art or not?  I don’t really know what to say apart from ahh, Happy New year TWOP’s. It looks the kind of artwork That might hang over the cellar door at Bare Rooted. Anyway, those interested in purchasing the work, I can ask Cimbali to pass on the details of where you can snatch it up.

The Best of The Worst 2009

Posted on December 30, 2009 by AHC McDonald

TWOP ends another year, nearing 1000 posts, and the depth of submissions and comments make me think 2010 will be even better. There were almost exactly 600 000 views for 2009 and the millionth eyeful was served. Here are some of my favourites in an exceptionally strong field. So many more masterpieces. What were yours?

I don’t think there could be any doubt that Inseminators 09 was the highlight of 2009. It’s still getting comments, now at 600 plus. It was a real eyeopener to city smartarses that country people are really as dumb as they appear in the movies. I also really liked To all my street art friends. My favourite Graffiti was a tagged palm frond. Truly wonderful, although Shazza’s “Wheels on Fire” was just as good.

There was the excellent Matt “Duke Nukem” Buckels election post. And my favourite food was the spankin’ cake, which I think is still in the window. Many people will miss all Jesper’s svenkage in 2010.Vale Jesper.

One of my personal favourites from very early in 2009 was the enigmatic Driver, Ms R who had so little respect for the perspicacity of traffic cops, hoping a piece of foil would disguise her broken mirror.Magical thinking.

Goethe's Wing mirror

But here’s one that really showed the strength of the TWOP community this year. That a picture of two poles could generated 200 plus comments is fantastic. I wanted to add many, many more. perhaps the baffling barbecue plate that was Brocky should also get an honourable mention. Let me know your favourites, and then let’s get stuck into the new year.
