An Artist Is Born

Seeking new ways to realize my potential, empower myself, get in touch with my feminine side and raise my self-esteem, I have taken up art. No, that should be Art.
For my first effort, which I have just completed, I took photographs of Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Betty Frieden, Nancy Pelosi and Jesse Jackson, dunked them in urine, dried them, pasted them on sheets of toilet-paper then pasted them to a sheet of white card-board.
As a final touch, I made an outline around the whole thing with feces.
Naturally I have called it “Epiphany”.
Now I know that there are some narrow-minded bigots out there who might call this crude, vulgar, tasteless and, perhaps, even cruel (great art is always met with resistance at its birth. Look at Picasso.) but knowing the liberals, who are not troubled by antiquated concepts like these, and who epitomize the spirit of tolerance, open-mindedness and generousity, I don’t think that they, or any of their follwers, will mind.
I am even going to send it off to the Harvard Fine Arts Department along with my application for admission.
Wish me luck!

Stumble It!
