I can't get enough. No, that's not true. I just feel so bad that all y'all can't view the butt print art website (it has exceeded its bandwidth!) that I found a clip from his appearance on a show on YouTube! Here you guys go:

If you can't view it for some reason, search YouTube for "Unscrewed With Martin Sargent." The second vid link is the one you need to see. I haven't seen it myself, since I am on dial up, so I am relying on you guys to be my eyes on this one. Let me know if it is worth downloading!
BTW, Ann S, did I mention the guy's name is Stan Murmur?
;P

I saw it on Olbermann or something last night.
That's some pretty lame-ass (literally) art.
I was actually hoping the art would be interesting, but no....I mean the guy is just using his ass as a stencil....ooh, look...it makes sort of a semi-circle shape...let's make flowers! Lame lame lame.
I really wanted to champion aganst his firing, and ideologically, I have no problem with concept of his "technique" but the end-result (sorry) is assinine.
yes ann, butt those lame ass paintings sell for up to $900! what is lamer is that people are buying his art!
he should keep his job, though. his paintings may be lame and infantile, but they are not immoral!
he makes some camouflage ones, too, and some others that don't look like butts, butt they are not as popular, for some reason!
I was just telling someone that I wouldn't mind trying this! LOL! It can't be that hard. From the looks of the inside of my Husband skivvies, it seems he has natural talent. I wonder what I'd get on eBay for a framed canvas au' de' Fruit of the Loom?

Since I heard he also uses his genitals, you're right, I think it would make it more difficult if it was.
OK, I'm just wondering about the people who buy these. You have someone over. They notice some (really ugly) art on your wall:
"That's an...interesting painting..." they say, politely.
"Yup...got it on eBay for $900! The artist made it with his ass!"
Okaaaaaayyy....
Maybe he could teach a business course instead on marketing to the ever-gimmick-loving yet fickle public instead of teaching an art course, because to me this is more about the art of selling (or fleecing), rather than about art itself.
Ann, it took me a moment to get your hard reference, but oh god you are funny. Yeah, his art is ugly! funny as hell, but ugly. I would never pay that much for something I could make myself. I could slap some paint on Chantz's ass and have him sit on a canvas, paint his winky to match... and i wouldn't even have to pay him, lol!
Susie- you paint with your boobs first, and I will think about it! Unless ann wants to go first? And doozie, i always laugh at you. I mean with you...
sass sass sass
Margaret- we should all get in on the gimmick and make us some big bucks! you are a funny gal, too!
Dawn, have you started on your home project yet?
jblue- we are still resarching... not much time, not much money, so we gather, gather, gather. it sucks.
