I think they're great - if I could afford one I'd have one firrted to my house in a flash. Shame there's around $5,000-$10,500 :disturbd:

Surely you mean fitted to your house in a flush....

Amazing. Are there any examples in the UK?

The only outdoor illusional mural I could find was this...

I'll have a look next time I'm in Chiswick (which could be soon).

Julian Beever's homepage...

Some more of his amazing pavement art & other works.

How about this...?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/09...i_cruise_poop/

Is this art? Even if it's TomKat's sprog that inspired it, I still think it's crap :D

Re: Is it Art?
 
Hmmmm....

No idea of scale on there, but being a father of three, that looks nothing like a sprog's first poop to me....

They're usually green, runny & extremely stinky!! :D

And yes, it is crap...

Yes, yes - but is it art? As much as I hate to admit it, I think it must be.

These Serigraphs are really to my taste...

And this is art, but is it funny?

The serigraphs would be to your taste, wouldn't they, Mr Warhol.

As for the second offering - hmmmmmm....

May I ask why? (not a leading question; but. since I don't think it is, I am interested in hearing others' viewpoints).

I think it can be called art because it was made by man as something to be looked at (aesthetic appeal). So, a pile of baby poo is not art, but when it is bronzed and presented on display it becomes art.

Nope!It's akin to that bronzed baby shoe fad but more disgusting.I can see one very screwed up teenager blowing her father away one day.

Which reminds me, I must dispose of some of the baby pictures I've got..well discreetly remove them before anyone is 'invited' to view old photos.;)

They are both art..the second is more like satirical cartoons and are very much art.Very collectable too.:)
