Oh CRIPES what were they thinking? They were absolute geniuses! That’s what you’re about to say like 50 times in this thread. This is World Famous Design Junkies first big retro thread of kitsch, inside is a collection of items that are not big enough to have their own thread, but much too big 2 b 4gotten. Most or ALL of them were made before the internet age, and are therefor just as good as new. That’s the rules of the internet. Discover for yourselves the wonders of the kitsch design universe.

To understand kitsch you must first understand the nature of the kitsch designer. This kitsch designer that’s being spoken about takes things to the next level of literal translation. They put puppies in human outfits, they bring a boom box when a tiny radio would be perfectly fine, and they wear an eyepatch. They’ve got everything in full color and they never let ink go to waste. They say, “man, the paint is here, and it’s gonna have to go somewhere, so if anyone is going to waste it, it’s going to be me.”

Then the kitsch designer splatters the paint all over the chia-pet canvas.

Please join me now on a limited journey through the insides of the kitsch design universe. The following designs are captured from a small but wonderful group of collectors who you should all meet. All of dis junk (or a lot of it) is from the following sources: RetroZone, Histoire Del Oeil, Graphik Addict, Arbito, Roadside Pictures, REBIRTH, probably Christian Montone, and illvisual, plus a couple other ones I might have lost.

Fear naught!
