I love Good Will. More precisely, I love junk. Good Will is actually a bit upscale for my tastes. I don’t buy alot of it, but I like to look. A good flea market or junk shop is like a behind the scenes tour of the world’s oddest museum, except you can touch things. I Stumbled Upon this link today, www.thriftstoreart.com. In his collection, this webcurator chronicles a diverse collection of original artwork found at thift stores. In the true spirit of a museum, each piece is analyzed and catalogued, with comments on the style and subject. My favorite is “Perplexed” by Tim Ryan 6/1/1960.

Stop over and view the galleries. These are not second rate paint-by-numbers. Most are quite good. Sure, some of the themes are odd and some lack the polish and confident strokes of a “true” artist, but they are good nonetheless.
