All amazing paintings. What is wrong is you. You're too weak to resist 4chan's edgy "everything iz meme faggot lol nigger retard" attitude. The paintings being posted on many occasions on 4chin by edgy teens like yourself don't have anything to do with the quality of said works, which is obviously top tier.
