People never cease to amaze me

[Gurney Devries]

http://www.vanessatiegs.com/paintings/pgs/statement.html
My intention in making paintings with my menstrual blood is to create beautiful images about menstruation. This means of expression benefits my relationship to my menstrual cycle. I don't paint with my menstrual blood to get attention or to be a shock artist; I paint with my menstrual blood as a way of befriending my periods while breaking the taboo surrounding menstruation and elevating something that has been disrespected. Evidence of the taboo can be read in the jokes made about me as the creator of the works.

To those who ask, "why not use paint?" the use of paint is not an option. These are works about cyclical blood that happen to be seen as art, not works of art that happen to be made with menstrual blood. I have been painting in this way since September 2000, continually experimenting with the addition of acrylic medias and varnishes to preserve and seal the blood. I also enjoy photography, calligraphy, and graphic design.

>_< :x that's just gross.....

[Zasz Grimm]

I'm going to puke now.

kthx

[Sameer Aryan]

:lol

sure...that's why you're the first person in a LONG time!

[Marcus Telcontar]

I'm going to be ill

K thx bye

[Wei Wu Wei]

This is a WTF to be sure. One of the most disgusting ones to date. Where do you people get this stuff?

Nevermind, don't asnwer that question, I don't want to know.

[Hart]

what's wrong with what she's doing? Not only is it just blood, it's blood from a nice place. How much better can you get?

[Alpha]

k, my turn to get sick...

kthx...

[Dae Jinn]

:lol

That's just funneh. You could take a crap in an art gallery and call it art, then sell it for millions! lmao!

[Sanis Prent]

Seen this already, but then again, we both get our crazy news from the same source.

[Padd]

Hart.......you're sick LOL

[Gurney Devries]

Yes, I cross-post quite a bit. :p

As long as you dont crosss-bat, that's quite okay

[Dae Jinn]

Considering at the AGO (art gallery of ontario) they had a pencil drawing of a circle...this "art" will probably sell. Which is very very sad...

[Pilot Akito]

You know, I've seen some sick stuff...but this one takes the cake.

[Kelt Simoson]

Oookay, thanks for that O_o

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:x

yukkity yuk yuk!

[imported_Ezra]

GAAAH!!!>_<

[Darth Viscera]

Wow, that's stupid.

[Helenias Evenstar]

:x :x

There should be laws against that

[Sasha Tion]

My turn to be sick now.

[Joanna King]

I paint with my menstrual blood as a way of befriending my periods

o_O

Whatever makes you happy, I guess :\

[Droo]

The stupid cow, anything for those famous fifteen minutes. Cheap and nasty. If she considers it creative and artistic fine, just don't make me queasy talking about it, woman! >_<

[Sejah Haversh]

If she actually sells one of those things, I will be incredibly angry. I mean, I had to BUY my supplies, I couldn't just MAKE them!

I think she's both seriously messed up, and incredibly cheap, too.

[Captain Tyle]

Sej, you could always go to others and accept donations ;)

[Droo]

I don't think she's messed up. The greatest artists and/or artistic revolutionaries had their work either dissaproved of or completely rejected by society so perhaps we're being arrogant and blind. Perhaps not but regardless, I can't like this particular art as it turns my stomach.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I don't even want to guess at the paticulars of...how. >_<

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

must smell real bad too :x >_<

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Sorr! EW! :x

[Charley]

Well...if it smells like spring flowers....THAT's when you worry.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

[Leeloo Mina]

I wonder if she uses with a paintbrush or something that vibrates.

[imported_Ezra]

vibrating paintbrush :lol

[Marcus Telcontar]

This thread hasn't ben hijacked, cause it's somehow remained on topic. It is however threatening to become a Wreck.

:x

That's probably not a good thing

[AmazonBabe]

o_O

:x:x:x!!!!!!!!!!!!

>_<

:x:x:x!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That about sums up my reaction to this.


And on a side note: What if she had some horrible virus like heptitis (sp?) or something... and then she sold these paintings... ? |I

[Leeloo Mina]

I don't think people are going to lick the paintings and she said she sealed the blood.. so maybe it's okay?

Those things are super simple, I could do that.. but I wouldn't WANT to. >_<

hm, maybe she makes some crazy tampon paintbrush.

[AmazonBabe]

LEELOO!!

:x!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

:x nasty....

[Marcus Telcontar]

LEELOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:eek :x

Lord, I think I'm going to be sick.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

*runs away* mental image! ahhhh!

[Wei Wu Wei]

Yeah, really. As if the fact that she paints with her own menstrual bloood is bad enough, you just had to mention tampons didn't you? That's too sick.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Gurney's right. People never cease to amaze my wtihtheir frikking stupidioty

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/30/1051381997491.html

[Kelt Simoson]

Once again thanks for that :x

[Leeloo Mina]

Toad lickin' good.

[Kelt Simoson]

Gotta thing about licking things aint' ya' LeeLoo? :p

[Charley]

BTW Wei, I've heard rumors of a chick at SCAD who drinks her own meunstral blood. Sound like anybody you know? :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

right, that's it, I'm outta here

[Leeloo Mina]

..and you would do that, WHY?

There's a reason your body disposes it.. putting it back in, can't be good.



*shudders* euughg

[Sylos'delka]

Next week on "Things to do with waste from your body" we learn about George McGeorginson who sculpts beautiful works of art from his feces.

From a student at SCAD, who posts at www.somethingawful.com

[Lilaena De'Ville]

>_< Charley you read gross things. So do you, Shawn. :x

[Leeloo Mina]

SA is great :lol I read some of the stuff over shawn's shoulder.. When I get money I'm going to get an account there... and never post ^_^;

[Charley]

[Charley]

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!

I can understand if you need to amputate an arm...but a 90 kilogram rock???? :lol what a moron!

[Leeloo Mina]

How much is 90 kilograms? o_O

I'm going to guess it's not very heavy.

[Marcus Telcontar]

90kg NOT HEAVY?????

It's about 220 lb at least. Yeech, get with Metric already :p

[Charley]

I know how much it is. That isn't too much to negotiate, unless you're Stephen Hawking or something. What a moron!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:x How on earth do you amputate an arm with a pocket knife??

[AmazonBabe]

>_<

...the... pain...

:x

[Charley]

Slowly

[AmazonBabe]

But... but... a pocket knife would have a helluva time cutting through bone unless it had a serated (sp?) edge. :x

Oh man, the thought reminds me of a game called "The Dig" by LucasArts where at one point one of the characters has to have his lower arm amputated after getting trapped in a crevice where a quake closes the crevice shut. They amputate it using a shark-like jaw bone. :x

[Charley]

Or you could cut at the elbow joint, and not worry about that.

[AmazonBabe]

:: Shudders ::

[Charley]

Someone's obviously never cleaned a deer :)

[Lady Vader]

Um, no... you never took me hunting when I was out there.

Psshh... like we woulda caught anything. :lol

And it's not so much the blood and gore that makes me shudder. I've disected plenty of things before and I've always found that to be quite fascinating. Animal amputation/disection/"cleaning" doesn't bother me.

It's just the thought of it being done to a human that's a bit unnerving.

[Charley]

1. Remove belt

2. Apply belt to arm, above elbow, as tightly as you can.

3. If you have a flask of booze, DRINK IT ALL NOW

4. Bite down on end of belt, near the arm, and pull back with your teeth as hard as you can.

5. Begin cutting at the elbow joint, and around the softer visceral mass, until the last thing you sever are the binding ligaments. in the center.

6. Keep tourniquet on, and get to civilization as fast as possible

7. ....

8. Profit

[AmazonBabe]

Profit?? How???

[Leeloo Mina]

selling the arm? o_O

[Gurney Devries]

Vetere said two other rescuers who returned to the canyon in hopes of retrieving the limb discovered that the boulder weighed 1,000 pounds, not the 200 that they first believed. They were unable to retrieve the arm.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

i remember that part



it was my favorite part of the game :| don't ask me why, it just was


i'm a sick puppy, i know

[Silus Xilarian]

I dunno about everyone else, but if I came across I guy in that position, I think I would have had to at least laugh, poke at him with a stick, or stand a few feet away and throw small objects at him.

>D

[Leeloo Mina]

I've never played that game, but when I saw the picture I just glanced and for some reason my mind went "....Johnny Quest??"

[Gurney Devries]

Got another WTF for ya: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/030503/80/dz6jv.html

Soooo.... anyone in the area joining in?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Horace Santry, 55, said the Friday night event was his first. "I have a lot of anxiety, but doing this among a group of like-minded people does make it easier," he said.

>_<!!!!

[Silus Xilarian]

Note to self:

DONT GO TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!!!!

[James Prent]

:x in the PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOMES AND HOPEFULLY YOUR BEDROOM PEOPLES! >_<

[Leeloo Mina]

....


So when are they going to have an orgy for charity?







Doing that with a group of people would make me nervous as hell.. not fix it
:rolleyes

[Marcus Telcontar]

WHAT?????????????

:x

The end times are truly on us :x

[AmazonBabe]

>_<

:x

ONLY in San Francisco.

This is why I REFUSE to move anywhere NEAR North CA. |I

EDIT:


San Francisco Masturbate-a-Thons have raised more than $25,000 (15,000 pounds) over the past five years, said Centre co-founder Robert Lawrence.

I SOOOO read that 15,000 pounds wrong. :x:x:x

I think I'm tired...
