That's a great site. I noticed some really weird airbrushed artwork on the side of one of the funhouse trailer rides at a festival this year. It didn't occur to me to take pictures, but there definitely was some WTF on my part.

Next year, I'll take some pics.

Does anyone have an idea why the blogger, despite being base in Great Britain, seems to get most of his pictures from German fairgrounds?

Are we the secret world capital of bad fairground art?

I laughed so hard at "I love baskelball and players."

Thanks for posting that, I added the blog to my google reader.

It would appear so. Aren't you proud?

It's funny as I went to a fairground recently and boggled at the bad art. Looking like someone else was doing the same...
