Just because it’s not hanging on the wall of some Manhattan gallery for self-appointed experts to critique while sipping on their complimentary white wine, doesn’t mean it’s not art. It doesn’t have to be all “Starry Night” or watercolor of a random bowl of fruit either. Art can be badass, too!

Check out the work of this St. Louis-based artist, for example.

According to the man’s nephew, who posted his uncle’s work to Reddit, the artist is also a veteran. It doesn’t get any more badass than that!
