art isnt about what its made of.

I agree, but I still think using blood, shit, and piss is a little bit silly.

i think using any body fuilds is down right dirty and discusting...

*apart from saliva if you used paints... i normaly wash the brush and then put it between my lips and press softly and i turn in to make sure it keeps its point...*

thus how saliva could get onto the page... but anything else is just moronic...

Hey GUYS! WHAT I MISS?

Just checked the updated list. Looks like things are moving along. I'm excited.

Oh, please. That guy is such an attention whore. His crap is in no way original.

Because he's the only artist ever to put blood on his work.

I hope that was sarcasm. Blood and semen have been done to death. Crayola might as well add it to thir 24 box set.

i knew i should have re-phased that... :3

So, because I'm an antsy son-of-a-bitch, what time would you expect this to be out on?

Not till early next year, or so, correct?

I sincerely hope you are joking, and if your not i hope you only use tempra paints. Some acrylics, and pretty much every oil, are really toxic (not to mention the gamsol, liquin, and turpentine that are used with oils) and will never fully wash off the brush.

Have fun being sterile and getting tongue and stomach cancer.

As for the use of bodily fluids for art work. Besides the obvious gross out factor novelty, there is another downside. Organic materials like that arent archival, and will either destroy the paper, or fade away/ change color over a short period of time, thus making the piece unstable and short lasting.

i use acrylics... but the thing is... the amount of paint on the brush is so small it wouldnt make a difference... *im using a grade 00000 brush... :P *its really tiny... almost hair thickeness...* so unless i did it non stop for 4 years.. i think im pritty safe (i think i might need to re-phase some of that as well...) i would never put turp's near my mouth.. that stuff is vial!... but yeah... i dont do it so much anymore since i lost my left arm... just joking... but im starting to stop... and use my hand to wrap around the end and tighten while i turn the shaft to keep the tip nice and pointy... what?...

Have fun being sterile and getting tongue and stomach cancer.

thanks for the heads up... but i think im safe :3

yeah... this whole post needs a good re-phase... but i think il let it pass this time...

i don't get to have any of the fun paint poisonings you guys have, what can i do? choke on my stylus?

hmph.

Take up painting?

hmm... i have a few green paints... i better check them out... iv used them before... :S
*cata green, sea green and metalic green...* but like i said... im pritty sure all my paints are fine... as long as i dont drink them that is :P... then i might have problems... at least all my brushes will be nice and pointy :3... they are only small pots of paint... i paint really small scale stuff... like metal/plastic models... or that munnie thing which is taking forever will all the artwork im doing on it... only using a handfull of colours (non of them been green :3)... so the most amount of paint possible for me to consume would be around a 1/15 of a drop in a 4 hour period

Just the one?

well you always have the chance of getting high voltage shocks from it... keep your drink away from it and your be fine :3

So... any idea in what phase we currently are at?

Also I kinda wish I could now redraw my entry, but, what is done is done XD

unlikely.

i suppose so... unless you were to cry streams of water to have a contiouse flow for a current to go along.... the chances are very slim...

sucho.... sucho?... you there?

ah crap

hello gang,
Im back again, I had a few people personally give me their sketchbook pages when i was in london so i have another handful of updates to do on that list. I'm also told that theres still a few stragglers back at the office. I havent figured out if i'll have time to make it back there so its anyones guess if they are going to be in. I have to make a cutoff at some point anyway. We'll be in this phase all year if I just keep extending/ignoring the deadline.

In other news, ornery has good advice on paints. I used to have a bad habit of licking my brushes. before i got started. Some colors are really bad for you if you happen to get them into your system. So yea, dont do thaaat.

luckly for me... i check all my paints... and they are all non-toxic!... yay... no liver problems for me :3...

rememeber kids... just beacuse it says non-toxic... doesnt mean you can drink it!

Bob informed me that hes still getting entries from people that are postmarked WELL beyond the 2nd deadline. At some point enough is enough. So if you are one of those people or were considering mailing your thing over at t his point then dont bother, the project is over. You missed the deadline. Next time dont participate if you are going to take that long on it. Part of the challenge of the project is in following directions.

I need a time machine so I can go back and redo my entry.
