His paintings sell for as much as $900 each on his Web site...
Was I surprised when I looked and saw this was in or near San FreakSideShow? No I was not.
objections were raised about his not so private privates abstract artwork, much of which includes smearing his posterior and genitals with paint and pressing them against canvas.
Seems I remember some booby years ago who used to do something similar by dipping her boobs in paint, then flopping them around against the canvas.
Oh Bull. I bet that is a balled face lie.

Too easy, no further comment.
He LISTS his paintings for up to $900 on his site. Prices actually paid may be far less.
You quoted the line, "His paintings sell for as much as $900 each on his Web site..."
I've seen this guy's work before, and remain unimpressed. But look, just because he's advertising them at $900 does not mean he actually manages to sell the things. He's a gimmick painter doing a risque variation on action painting, an approach pioneered by Jackson Pollock and others. Over time, other artists have used jet engines to spatter paint, or covered their whole bodies in paint and rolled around on a canvas spread across the floor. You name it, it's probably been done. For these guys, it's all about process, not result. And unlike Pollock, none of them have ever in their lives made anything beautiful and worthwhile. I think what Mr. Butt Cheeks is doing is a technique born of frustration. Insofar as I can tell, he knows nothing of color, or form, or line, or even the rudiments of composition.
In the end (no pun intended), it doesn't matter how the painting is achieved--if I painted while naked, balanced on a unicycle, wearing a derby and singing Gregorian chants, the only thing of the whole ridiculous process that would matter would be the painting itself.
Guys like this continue to give my profession a bad name. If that whole crowd of poseurs had one neck, I would choke it.
