I just heard something that has amazed me, this is not a joke.
The Archibald Prize is a very prestigious portrait painting comp here in
Australia, you may have heard of it?
Many well known and unknown painters enter and it is always controversial, the
latest entrant will be doing his portrait of someone in his usual style! Which
is that he holds his brush with his member!
These are the words used by the news readers on the radio, can you brleive it,
and these artists are probably the snobby ones who say photography is not art,
I don't understand artists sometimes, can't wait to see how it turns out, it
should be somewhat smudgy.

My wife just had a thought, what if he does not hold the brush but it is the brush? Hope its not a cold day or it could be a bit if a stretch!

I feel sorry for the subject...I imagine sitting for this pointer would be a bit...well...a bit...in your face.

His name is 'pric' casso. Unfortunately for us here in South Africa, the Aussie artist (and yes he uses it as the brush) did an exhibition (pun intended) at SEXPO - a sex expo for anyone interested. Owing to his unique technique, he had heaps of press coverage!

I have heard of this guy a while ago. Has anyone seen any of his work or have a link to one of his portraits? I am imagining his stuff looking like finger painting only with broader strokes ?

His pictures don't sell so he's hard up.

Gordon ... maybe the strokes aren't broader at all.

The Aussie's are cool....anyone see "Puppetry of the Penis"?
Out of interest....if you had the choice of who to paint with your penis, who would it be, and why?
