Dwid from Integrity and Roses Never Fade just found an old archive copy of the legendary South Bank Show special on Francis Bacon. It's the one where he gets WASTED on red wine and starts talking about the nature of life and explains all of his paintings. All you new artists obsessed with transgression and finding new ways to define humanity should watch this right now and get back to us when you've realised the error of your ways.
Thank you Vice. From the bottom of my uninspired heart, thank you.

I stole all the ideas for my new show at White Cube from Bacon. See the crucified sheep or whatever they are? I stole it from Frank. Wow, I am so rich.

If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey And asks you to show him your bum, do not show him your bum. This is a scam. He only wants to see your bum. I wish I had got this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap. -The Bum http://www.widgetmate.com
