Remember that artist Daniel Edwards who did the "Britney giving birth" sculpture?
ronnyk...you're gonna LOVE this:

Remember the sculptor who did this statue of Britney giving bith--the one that was even dedicated as a "pro-life monument?"



Well, he's BaaaAACK, this time for doing a Paris Hilton autopsy sculpture, the goal of which is to counter "the disturbingly glamorized trend of Hollywood's girls gone wild." The sculpture is positioned on an autopsy table, and even has "removable innards."

Ummmm....ok. :freak:

2. Yeah, I do, too.
But the rabid religious right seems to adore him.

4. Of course they do...
I can tell from the second statue shown that he has a necrophiliac fetish. Both statues are posed in sex positions. Why on earth wouldn't the rabid Christian right be enamored with that?? :shrug:

5. I think the implication from the position is that...
she died having sex, and rigor mortis set in.

Pretty weird for a sculptor to conceive that idea. "I think I'll sculpt Paris Hilton dead after sex, after rigor mortis sets in. Gotta do something to raise the bar after that Britney sculture." :freak:

because Ms. Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug in the doggy-style position wasn't nearly creepy enough.

What's next? Rosie O'Donnell getting a lobotomy whilst pole-dancing?

True... And if it keeps him in clay it's probably worth his time.

But, is it art?

I shall make a donation of two 'Britneys' to be... um... mounted (for lack of a better term)
alongside the steps at the Library for all to enjoy!

26. I'm thinking--
they should be mounted on the flying buttresses of the museum, way up high, rear facing out...and made into water spouts.

You know how the water flows out of the gargoyles' mouths in gothic architecture...well...

Nevermind.

29. It must be art... I just felt a slight pang of nostalgia.
If only Ashcroft was still the AG...

Think of the circus as he tried to deal with a 'Britney' in the traditional briefing area.


Anyhow... It says the innards come out of the 'Paris'. How? I don't see any seams or zippers.

It's hard for me to see artistic merit when my eyes are watering from laughing.

Remember the bust he did of Hillary Clinton?

He aged her by several decades in that.

I've never seen that.

Yeah, he did age her by a couple of decades...and he demeans her (she's a senator, for chrissakes) by putting her in a lace bustierre.

35. Yep...pretty sick, eh? (graphic photo warning)
I wondered what the guy looks like who conceived (no pun intended) these sculptures...

Here he is:



And here's his sculpture "Suri Cruise's First Poop."






Guy is definitely out there.

38. Yeah--although I don't think that his Britney sculpture resembles her face...
can't speak for the rest of her. Paris does look like Paris. But the dog looks like something out of a Hanna Barbera cartoon.

He seems ok on human form, though. (I've seen college students do just as well. I think his greatest talent is marketing through the shock factor.)

Britney is droppin' babies like a leaky faucet...



Hmmm, legs wide open and there's a dog panting by her face - in true stereotypic male style. :rofl:

As for removable innards, just where does one shove one's hand to get at the removable innards?

I agree...very twisted. Did you see the "Suri's Poop" sculpture above?

Wonder what made him think, "I shall document Suri's poop!" ???

It is kinda funny that the pro-lifers liked the Britney sculpture though.
