I did this painting a couple of years back while high on crack, and for some reason unknown it became quite popular. I was actually painting this chick with a wry little smile on her face. The inspiration for this smile came from a trance party I was at a few years prior where this mom had her child over her shoulder. The kid was rummaging in the moms bag and pulled out a square of acid, slipped it into her mouth and smiled at me with the most devilish smile, knowing that I could do nothing to stop this little mongrel from having the trip of her life.

So there’s some background to “Mona Lisa”. I was going to do a sexual painting called the “Moaning Lisa”, but half way through I got a hard on and poked her eye out. So I stuck to something regular.

So my painting now sits in the Louvre Museum in Paris, surrounded by bullet proof glass which is only fitting considering it comes from the hands of me. There was this chick who once touched me and then kept that hand in bubble wrap for the rest of her life (Still currently going) because she didn’t want anything to touch that hand.

My “Ten Minute Artwork”, surrounded by bullet proof glass

So this looney chicks throws a mug of English Breakfast Tea at my Mona Lisa, and I know she is crazy because Mona doesn’t drink tea, she drops acid. The great thing about this story though is the fact that authorities haven’t just called her crazy for trying to throw tea at a painting surrounded by bullet proof glass, they’ve gone so far as to give her a syndrome, with a name!

She is being held in custody and is said to have undergone a psychological examination.

And this, according to Dailymail:

Doctors were trying to assess whether she was suffering from Stendhal Syndrome, a rare condition that causes dizziness, confusion or violent acts when exposed to art.

Are you kidding me? The po-lice CANNOT be serious!

I think the cops need Jesus!

How have we developed as a human race to actually name a syndrome where people lose their tits when exposed to art? It’s called “crazy” and this chick is crazy. So what, she threw some tea at a bullet proof window? If anything she should be classified a re-tard for thinking that her tea would actually damage the window. She’s a little simple and a little slow, so we should actually be sending her back to school. But to say she has Stendhal Syndrome is just pushing affairs a little bit.

(Apologies for the lack of posts, winter hits my creativity hard. Working on that. Something to do with not seeing the sun for so long, it takes me down.)
