Chris Von Steiner's artwork is simultaneously baffling and intriguing. More accurately, it's intriguing because it's so goddamn baffling. Basically it involves taking the following elements–Lisa Frank trapper keepers, naked twinks, Disney movies, cute things, horror movies, pop culture, clowns, demons, furry sex–and putting them all in a blender together.
I'm not sure if it's genius or a complete trainwreck, but I can't stop looking either way. Which do you think it is? I like when you guys make decisions for me.

I just find it disturbing. I think the guy needs some serious psychological help.
I think they r pretty cool and funny….
Wow, i have no artistic eye whatsoever, but that just looks like CRAP.
I love the 6th one down, less messy I guess.
Absolutely brilliant art. If i had the money I’d dish it out for the privilege of having some of these paintings hanging on my walls.
These are extremely creepy. That guy definitely needs help. Especially when there is blood.
good stuff…makes a change from the sunday-school-of-pseudo-art you’ve had in the past…
and it seems some guys here need a visit to the local library (if there is one) – try, say, the whole of 20th century art section for future reference!
my post disappeared…digest version:
it seems some need acquainting with 20th century art.
I’ve never been so creeped out and turned on at the same time, aha!
Yeah this 20th century art of vulgar scribbles has turned art into a nonsense with absolute no value to human advancement.
its fucking shit
‘value to human advancement’…
so interesting to read your comments… aha!
lol…
there you go, kids! a terrible fate will befall you – now that mr von steiner, the man in need of ‘serious psychological help’, is here to get you!
that’ll teach you…
I think his work is GREAT!
I think half the comments here are more vulgar than the actual artwork. If you think its honestly that horrible how about you make your own artwork.
At least this guys puts effort into it. Just because there is blood and such doesn’t mean the guy is mentally unstable. If you cannot see some of the pictures have a recurring theme – Children’s books he could be trying to convey a message that maybe the books that people read to their children are more damaging than society.
If you dont like the artwork, then stop looking at it and find something that you find more aesthetically pleasing for yourself.
