    was it hard not to throw up with all that poop on your hands? i think it’s cool

  • Thanks! The smell didn’t make me nauseus – but it didn’t smell good and I decided as I began that the art better turn out as I was not going to do another series :)

    did you really paint with faeces ? Well done its a great image with a strong message for HIV and compromised immune disorders and the other one is human faces being eaten by dogs – its a real problem up here in the NR region!

  • yeah I sure did – finger paintings no less, that was a smelly day haha. Didn’t know about the problem with digs – always more to learn in every aspect of life! Thansk for the kind words Mikey, you’re wonderful :)
