Mona Lisa meets Elephant Man meets Ernie.

Austrian artist collective Getlin (Wolfgang Gantner, Ali Janka, Florian Reither and Tobias Urban) has raped the poor Mona Lisa in order to create what is quite possibly the ugliest collection of paintings the world has ever seen. Here's just a few of the most offensive; you can visit their site for more if you're feeling especially masochistic.

Warning, the following "paintings" are not for the faint of taste:

A cut above the rest.

Remember that guy next to the Glamour Shots kiosk in the mall who airbrushed flamingos and custom license plates?...

Graffiti artist collective Tats Cru recently repainted their memorial tribute mural to the notorious dealer Benjamin "Killer Ben" O'Garro in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

god, it's hideous

Not only is this montrosity a tribute to an attempted-murderer, it is a memorial to dead aesthetic values, discretion and good taste. And unfortunately for me it's right in my neighborhood, so every time I walk down Myrtle Avenue ... there it is!

This has led me to a realization: there's no art worse than bad graffiti.

For over twenty years, the members of Tats Cru have been defacing the walls of buildings throughout New York with hideous "memorial walls" to fallen gangstas.

this guy's nickname was seriously "headache"?

is he supposed to be doing a magic trick? dancing the robot?

I like how Gundy's afro goes out of frame in this one - they're really pushing the boundaries, here

The self-proclaimed "Mural Kings" have even been hired by companies like Coca-Cola, McDonalds, and Hummer in order to cash in on their 'street cred'. I'm surprised MTV hasn't given them their own show by now.

These guys are no Basquiat. Won't somebody please paint over this crap, already?
