NOTE: The above is not meant to slag off on those who work for convenience stores. In the old days it was “dirty bathroom at the gas station.” Just trying to update. No offense intended.
This fartist (see what I did there?) rambles on for eight lines about how this piece is full of his fecal matter, then immediately after tries to persuade you to get close to see the “implied” coins?
If this dude is any kind of artist, he’s a con artist.
My daughter made her first Poopy Picasso when she was 1 and took her pajamas and diaper off and decided to paint the walls with it. Who knew we should have encouraged her…instead we duct taped her diaper on at night.
He’s really a Shartist. An arty-farty Shartist, with a capital SHART. I think Duchamp would be amused to see his ideas recycled, poop and all. He’d really groove on some Jesus menstrual pads!
For a brief time in my life, I was a janitor at a college in Savannah, GA. (Armstrong State)
Each week, on the same day of the week, I had a disgusting mess to clean up, except it was painted without liquin and the canvas was the stall in the men’s room on the second floor of the English building. Its nice to see that “artist” has found more creative ways to share his shit.
Once I got past the horror of the liquin fecal matter and the artist’s disturbing collection of toilet photos, I was disappointed in the reality of the coins. I can see them just fine from here.
Why fecal matter? Why not use chocolate if you want to do something different, no need to go completely realistic. Ugh, but some kids just never grow out of that kind of shenanigans
@WhyLIkeThis-I had visions of you being stuck behind someone at the post office while someone tried to mail something innapropriate, or it coming up in dinner party conversation. That’s how I usually find out about things like this.
If I was broke and desperately selling my vajayjay for food, I would not get closer to those fucking “implied” coins.
Even I have standards…
…if they were real GOLD coins, and there was a bottle of bleach just out of sight, we might begin negotiations.
Wilma-My sons did the same thing (I had twins, so we got everything in duplicate). Just think-if I’d just encouraged them, instead of scrubbing the shit off the wall and giving them both a couple of hard smacks, they’d probably be fabulously wealthy social misfits right now, instead of responsible members of society.
If there’s anything unsettling to the stomach, it’s listening to artists talk about their artistic process. In this case I use the term “artistic process” loosely. Go have a mental wank on your own time, sweetie.
Wilma and Badger – I’ve been in the same boat with my daughter. She was about 1 at the time.
We could be pulling in $125 for every piece of crap our kids smeared on a wall!
Poor use of perspective- particularly with the treatment of the base of the toilet. Other than that, it totally reminds me of the time I puked my brains out at a Rush concert in the 70s. Except I don’t think that the poop was encased in liquin.

And here I thought the guy had his pet monkey finish this “work of art” by throwing its feces at the canvas (as monkeys are wont to do).
the only way I would consider purchasing this stinker is if the artist promised in writing to use the funds to purchase pigments made from earths and not from his own bodily excretions.
I can only assume that he resorted to this because he ran out of brown umber and money at the same time.
The good folks at Winsor Newton will be thrilled to know their “Liquin” product has new heretofore unknown uses as a medium, capable of encasing crap of various consistencies from runny to lumpy while drying clear and light-fast, preserving for the ages even the shittiest cubist interpretations. Perfect for thin glazing techniques, or bold impasto applications.
This guy oughta sign his works, “Skid Marx”.
If I was both insane and wealthy I would start buying these things off etsy and using them to frame people for a string of vicious murders. Just think of the possibilities! Blood, semen, vajayjay juices, hair, “human ivory”…not to mention all the fingerprints perfectly preserved in clay.
Good thing I’m (kinda) sane, poor, and extremely lazy.
I don’t know why everyone is poo-pooing this painting. I find it to be quite moving (or perhaps I’ve had too much coffee this morning.) Surely, this is not a style of art to go down the tubes anytime soon. $125 is a bargain; I would be prepared to drop a load on this masterpiece!
Beside the poop being really gross and unsanitary it’s not really ok to sell someone a painting that might change appearance over time. Does this person know whether or not the poop will stay brown? What if it turns white? It’ll just look like a normal- oh wait a minute, I see the deeper meaning of the work now.
I think the chick who does lipstick “kisses” with her anus and this guy should get together… but definitely NOT to procreate. THAT would be some crazy shit.
I don’t know what you all are talking about – that art is THE shit.

Talk about a piece of crap. Literally.

This shit is gross.
December 7, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Oh. My. Hell. How can this even be shipped through the mail? And why??? For the love of dog, why????
December 7, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Though if you had decided to stick to oil on canvas, I am positive the result would be fairly shitty also.

he has a small collection of toilet photos? what a fucking weirdo

An artistic movement isn’t what you think it is, sir.
December 7, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Oil painting? Someone tried french fries with Alli.
December 7, 2010 at 4:10 pm
You call that art? My two-year-old could make that.
December 7, 2010 at 4:10 pm
ok i thought it was just bad that it looked like crap now that it is real crap i am very horrified and appalled
December 7, 2010 at 4:11 pm
Wow, it’s hand embellished with poo and “The floor has two coins that are implied, you really have to get close to see them”
I think I’ll pass.
December 7, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Methinks this “artist” has shit for brains.
December 7, 2010 at 4:12 pm
the artist got his start finger painting the bathroom stalls in the boys room at James K Polk Elementary
December 7, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Pretty sure the title signifies that he was ripping off Duchamp.
December 7, 2010 at 4:14 pm
You can tell the work is cubist because of all the squares.

Is there something wrong with using good old oil colors? This guy has shit-for-brains.
December 7, 2010 at 5:11 pm

free shipping? you cant even legally mail fecal matter in any form.

Knittin-Kitten:
i don’t know how i know that.
i just do
it’s not from personal experience, i assure you!
December 7, 2010 at 5:47 pm
This artist loves Poo more than Christopher Robin…
December 7, 2010 at 5:52 pm
At $125, it’s too expensive for me to buy and immediately put it on this guy’s back porch to light on fire.
Also, that’s awesome stretch, I love Criminal Minds
December 7, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Well, no one will ever say that this guy doesn’t give a shit about art.

The only difference between calling this “art” or an “act of vandalism in a public bathroom” is pretension and a price tag.

Finally an artist that knows that their work is shitty.

You better believe the bullshitometer is getting a workout on this one:

I’d buy this to hang in my bathroom, next to the clowns. I like to make sure that a visitor’s first visit to my restroom is their last.
December 7, 2010 at 9:38 pm
Can this even be legally shipped? Can.. can you even sell this? Will whatever gods are listening allow this to happen?
YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR FACE REALLY CLOSE TO SEE THE COINS????
