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.
