There are men. And then there are great men. And then there are men like Olan Rogers. Olan Rogers has redefined what comedy is. Everything he does is comedy gold minus the actual gold coins that would make him indistinguishable from Scrooge McDuck. Men like Olan Rogers make us want to be better artists even though we know we cannot possibly do such a thing. Oh and if he weren’t already more than enough to wrap our brains around, he wrote a book titled, “Forward as Always” with a friend. What a swell guy. Too bad we made a video about him and his book because we can only possibly take away from the majesty of such a man. But we did it anyway. Sorry Olan.

Please cast your vote for the first Artist General of the United States of America. Also please note that after much consideration, Hunter Green, and Shady McTint from the Coalition for Color have decided to drop out from the race to show their newfound support for black, white, and all things poor.

It's time to cast your vote for who should be the first Artist General of the United States of America.

Can Two Poor Artists save the soul of America? Probably not. Will that stop them from trying to do so through art? Definitely not. What does this have to do with shoes? Everything.

How does a man save a soul? Irrelevant. How do Two Poor Artists save the soul of America? Much better question. Well it all starts with shoes.

Meet Lincoln. This young man is a true poor art prodigy. He and his father Charles tune in to our channel each week to watch and to learn from our tutelage. Boy oh boy is he doing great poor things. Not only is he creating ballpoint pen masterpieces, but he's also dressing the part. We definitely see great black and white inky things in his future. The word of poor art may have found its third champion! Keep up the great work!

Despite our best efforts, we have fans. Why we have them is a mystery to be sure, but they definitely seem enthusiastic about poor art. Here's a lovely submission of some fan made poor art. Let us all join together in collective concern for them while also appreciating the undeniable beauty of ballpoint pen and black ink.

Common Grounds Coffee Shop in Payson Arizona has the official Two Poor Artists seal of approval. How can your business earn this prestigious honor you ask? Well, all you need to do is set out some sketchbooks and let poor artists, like us, come and do ballpoint pen drawings in them. It's that easy.

Some days of the year are just factually more free than others, and July 4th is simply the freest of them all. While we sit with a pen in our hands and a bla...

We are poor artists. Poor artists that do not know when to stop making poor art. With that in mind please check out our new drawings titled, "Triumphal Entry". Or not. Which honestly we think is the wise choice.

A trumpet is an instrument that one plays upon the entry of a conquering hero. It has often been used throughout history to celebrate when someone enters a r...

Are scribbles art? Well we say that in the right hands (poor hands) they most certainly can be made into art. Join us on this journey of artistic transformation and please accept our deepest apologies in advance.

Can a scribble be art? No. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t take a perfectly good scribble and turn it into perfectly poor art. So that’s what we did. No...
