pretty ridiculous scam to implement in the day and age of the internet when anyone can verify shit in an hour, it's funny he went about it in a different way then I would have, I've just been trying to figure out the logistics of losing my anal virginity as a straight man and selling tickets in a commentary on selling out

My name is Clayton Pettet, as you all know I came up with an idea Art School Stole My Virginity after months of research into Virginity and sexuality and my own personal emotion with art and society. Today I found out that a boy has replicated my piece called Art School Stole My Sexuality a...

'False liberator' 2013 collaborating with a friend who has a background in 3D design we altered the files for the first stable, working 3D printable gun the Liberator creating a non-functional version that is uploaded to torrent sites as the full working version, the process of getting the gun printed has been documented through a series of fairly negative emails in regards to doing anything involving even fake weapons

Rev. Eric Danger Clark, newspaper ad installation/performance 2014

an advertisement running in the Philadelphia City Paper setting myself up as a performance artist for hire in the vein of a birthday party magician or clown or stripper for a bachelor party, but you know, art.  Working with the ad dept of the newspaper we were able to achieve a really great vision of the ad, channeling a certain, so bad it's good inattention to proper graphic design

PAFA 4th Wall

Pretty fun experience over all, I held up a JOHN 3:16 sign periodically and threw balloons into the audience which seemed to help breaking tension.  Here's the technicals: 

Panelists: –Alex Baker, Director of Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, Philadelphia, former Curator of Contemporary Art at PAFA –Josephine Halvorson, painter, US Fulbright Fellow, and The Tiffany Foundation Award recipient –Crispin Sartwell, teaches art and philosophy at Dickinson College, contributor for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Times Literary Supplement

Moderated by Robert Cozzolino, Senior Curator of Modern Art at PAFA.

My work got a very positive reaction from the critics, they found it to be consistent in theme and execution, I did have one of them give me a strange frat boy party vibe because of the morph suit, which I mean is not terribly far off but I've never heard myself described as a beer chugging jock.  Maybe beer chugging, just not a jock. Halvorsen came up to me afterwards and told me I was her top pick (I made it into the top ten but not the top 3) which was a really nice thing to hear after the dust had all settled(the critics u to that point had given reasons for cuts and saves but once they got to the top 3 it was like 5 hours in and they just wanted to be done so I hadn't gotten late game feed back once I was in the top) the top artists were mary mccan who makes a lot of interesting fantasy form sculptures, katie petrillo who makes 3D paintings which play on the way viewers percieve objects(which I was kind of surprised about because her work is inherently difficult to photograph in the aspect that you need to kind of move around it to get it, having a professional photographer pays off!) the third winner was Tiff Tate who had photos of desolate landscapes, for the most part students had painted work in but going by the meta game of location, knowing the critics it's easy to tailor yourself to get into the late game for asituation like this, just stick out without being a dickhead
