Aside from the clip art itself not matching itself, why are there two typefaces that neither compare nor contrast?

Intro to Bad Art, Good Shirts

I work as a screen printer, and I've had to print some awful shirts. This is to showcase that the common people, i.e., those untrained in the visual arts, tend to have terrible taste in design. They want downright ugly shirts. I want to scrub my eyes.

This blog is indirectly inspired by the Portlandia skit, "Bad Art, Good Walls". More directly inspired by my coworkers' chants, "Do it! Do it!"
