    Always was a bit of a slippery character.

    Some people just have much more money than sense IMHO.

    I have decided to get in on this anyone who wants to buy fruit with duct tape stuck to it for a record low price of £1million feel free to pm me.

    I am offering to sell

    1 kiwi with piece of duct tape for £1million
    3 strawberries with piece duct tape for £1million
    6 raspberries with piece of duct tape for £1million
    3 blackberries with piece of duct tape for £1million
    8 blue berries with piece of duct tape for £1million
    1 orange with piece of duct tape for £1million
    1 banana with piece of duct tape for £1million (much cheaper then that auction)
    1 dragon fruit with piece of duct for tape £1million

    or special offer the result of me having too much carby food and caffeine on some given day (my excrement and toilet roll used to wipe) in a bucket for the low price of £2million.

    all interested parties feel free to pm me.

    I mean its got to be worth a try right?

    due to unprecedented demand having been inundated with pms and requests for these products supplies are running out fast and we may need to turn this over to auction once we get down to the last few product items.

    The original 'Banana' got eaten in 2019 and it originally sold for $120,000.

    The judges' comments prove how far they are up their own a*ses. She put a giant paper doily on an old car. If that's art I'm sure I could be the next Rembrandt, maybe throw a blanket on a Porsche.

    "Those who see them in real life sometimes fall to their knees and weep"

    Probably the ones that paid good money for them.

    I'm so upset, I remember painting something very similar to the above at primary school however I was told off for being 'silly' and my work of art (based on the above I now know it was exactly that, a work of art, potentially worth millions) was put in the bin.

    I will now seek legal redress and compensation from the teacher, the primary school and the local authority because, as a result of their actions and institutional 'artism' ( a new word I have just made up), I have potentially lost out on becoming a multi millionaire through my art.

    I think my point was that I would have liked to become a multi millionaire through doing a few doodles rather than having worked **** hard for the last 40 years to have what I've got. :)

    @Enut


    I think it's entirely possible you are artistic.
