No shit, if you are against seeing a fake vagina in all its “glory”, turn back now….I have kids and I don’t let them experience all that life has to offer, that’s just common sense. I myself believe in censorship but I believe in personal responsibility more. My point is if your a kid looking at this, tell your parents they are failing… I’ve been an artist my entire life but have never been a part of an art show. Recently I was approached from a friend that’s throwing a group showing and asked if I would like to enter a piece. I was hesitant at first but after talking with Anthony from Boneseeds we decided to do a collaboration. Nothing serious though, it all seemed so pretentious if we took it serious. The theme of the group show is “Forgotten Saints…Saints that never were but should have been”… If you like or even hate what we’ve done please bomb this message to these following sites. “God favor the righteous and punish the pussy”…\”.. www.myspace.com/forgottensaintsla www.myspace.com/artcorecfs

This is what we’ve come up with…

Mangina is the patron saint of any man, woman, or child who lacks the metaphorical testicles needed to face their own insecurities, fears,and sins alone. Instead, an ardent follower of St. Mangina will use Catholicism to mask the rotting core of their soul. These followers worship the Glory Holeluiah (a vagina with an internal doorbell) in honor of their patron saint. Typical disciples of St. Mangina include (but are not limited to): spineless politicians, horny priests, desperate housewives, people who watch Desperate Housewives, inflated businessmen,people who believe their art is the work of God, people who pay too much money for said artwork, pedophiles, and rapists. According to legend, St. Mangina was a middle school guidance counselor who organized weekend getaways for local adolescents that featured trust falls, a ropes course, and anal rape. St. Mangina was eventually discovered fellating an eight-year-old boy after a Harry Potty Mouth seminar in Vancouver, but before he could be hung from his testicles and torn to pieces by a mob of outraged Canadians, St. Mangina repented and found God. St. Mangina quickly took over the “Catholic School Girls and Boys” retreat weekends where he continued to rape mouth and anus alike. As penance, God folded St. Mangina’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth inside his head to form a vagina. Unable to see, hear, smell, or speak, St. Mangina wandered into a nearby forest where he was summarily skull fucked for eternity by a herd of very well endowed, Canadian bison. The vagina of Glory Holeluiah represents St. Mangina’s true face. The doorbell inside the vaginal lips signifies the idea that God’s help and the Gates of Heaven are only a doorbell’s ring away as long as you are willing reach deep into your own vaginal face and forgo your testicles. Rev. James Eckles

Yes, there is a doorbell inside the artwork. You just need to fingerbang it as if you were an 8th grade boy to find it…

‘I’m working on a series of watercolors called “Heroes and the Dead”. They are currently being turned into limited edition T-shirts. These will be an ultra soft T and heavily distressed. This is the first in the series and it’s titled “Cuckoo”. There will only be a total 72 of these shirts made within 4 different sizes. Check out the store for the original poster art and to order the limited edition T. Also check out www.boneseeds.com for prints of this.

I just finished another skull watercolor titled “Bushido”. The first 2 watercolors were sold within a day to art collector, Brent Smith. I am hoping to get this series done this month so watch for more.

I’m working on a new painting for this series of watercolored skulls. Its my version of the starving Buddha.
