"Art can neither be good
or bad, only interesting or boring, says Eddie Breen, the leading practitioner
of piggyback art. He takes paintings that he considers boring or incomplete,
and inserts nuns, flying jesuses, flame people, or demons, changing
the meaning of the composition in ways to suit his visions, to coopt
the elements and create his own worlds.
"Eddie would probably be merely a local eccentric if not for the internet. Eddie decided to post his paintings in an online gallery, and, just for the hell of it, posted a few paintings on Ebay with links back to his gallery. He thought this would be a good way to funnel people to his art. He never dreamed anyone would buy anything. However, virtually every painting he posted was snapped up. |

"'Whenever I paint something,
I have to be a wise-ass, I can't help myself. I'm the guy in school
who would sit in the library and deface photos of fashion models and
politicians in magazines. I'd black out their teeth, white out their
eyes and scribble in devil horns and beards. I guess I'm still doing
it.'"

A topless nun, a fondling
featus,
and an alien Jesus walked into a bar... - The Youth Of America Website = Funnel people to art. Ebay = Fantasizing people will buy everything. - Mark-o Hooray for the wise-ass. - Scott This is a really neat piece and speaks to the current controversy over the sexual abuse of nuns really well. Sometimes you have to shock people with what may seem like blasphemy to show them how problems like this bring down the faith. - watusi not even jesus would want to suckle on breasts as saggy as those - poor guy WWJSO? freudian art sells, along with body pieces from man-made disasters... - Inside comes OUT! Sister Mary DElicious says " Fuck all you warmonging, gotta get the oil, prove our white-assed inferiority... this time it's not going to work, whitey". - Listen Up, Fools If I knew there was a living in defacing pictures I would have been rich a long time ago. - seattle sam |
