A bit like the "artist" that wanted to highlight the wastage of water by leaving a tap running for a year.

Same goes for that idiot who lay on the floor dressed like a squaddie.

Seems anything can be called art these days luvvie dahlings.

Is he corgi registered......

Oh, he does irony, but for the common folk.

Clicking on one of the links on his site reveals that this isn't the first creature to be devoured. He has in the past eaten a swan, as a protest against the monarchy.

It must really make his mouth water walking around London Zoo.

So this "artist" is the same one that wanted to leave a tap running for a year.

What a complete

.

I'd hardly describe him as an artist 'either'. 'Chancer' is probably a better description.

Decadence · 23-05-2007, 12:59 PM

He doesn't even have the balls to kill the dog himself...what a waster.

**Steven** · 23-05-2007, 1:03 PM

Utterly pointless. Gives a sham label of "art" in order to give himself and his pathetic life some sort of justification and PR

This is the same guy who wanted to leave taps running 24/7 to highlight waste usage during the pipe ban and ate a fox to highlight the life of crackheads

Riiiight

Tasteless? I thought dogs tasted like chicken.

Here he is during another "performance" piece, this time campaigning (

I don't think so. You're probably thinking of chickens.

Oh come on. He's a comedy genius. Who could not admire:

PEGGING 2005
The intention was to attach 17,200 multi coloured clothes pegs onto an alcoholic called Barry. In the end the alcoholics pegged Mark, but they got bored quite quickly and some friends pegged Mark instead, only managing 4,500.

or:

YOU TURKEY 2003
Mark walked backwards for 11miles with a 27lb turkey on top of his head shouting at fat people along the way through a homemade loud hailer, it was a piece about the obesity pandemic.
