But yeah, he does look like a ****.

On a positive note, I think I've found a way to make a few bucks down in Honduras. I'm going to crap on a piece of cardboard, and call the work "Hot Lunch." It should net me an award or two.

Is that Vanilli or Milli?

After interwebbing for a while, I found your exhibit

 

[lowenbrau]

Its always been easy to work up a lynch mob around here. What if an artist created a display that that had, "You Are What You Read" written in dog food on a wall and an emaciated stray dog tied up below it? What if the dog was one that the artist found in the street and fed and watered before the display, thus relieving its suffering, and released or lost later that day? Would that change things or would you go to war with him just in case?

There might be a different story out there.

[UltraFJ40]

It is the interweb and rumors fly. Unfortunately for the artist many people in Costa Rica and Nicaragua have paid particular attention the this story. His multiple statements do not promote any kind of explanation as far as I have found. In fact they are contradictory.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't true but in the meantime he's an ass. Wiki blows and there are many more sources out there stating the opposite.



Take it for what it is. I know I have.

PS: He's still a **** (IMHO).
