Packaging for "Look at That Huge Fag" - a bARTer Sauce item

This is the story Ariane submitted with her trade offer:

I made this giant cigarette painting out of an existing oil painting of buddha on linen, vintage coupons from packs of cigarettes (that I traded for on bARTersauce) and cheap craft paint. It is awesome and disgusting. It makes people feel like they have smoked 40 cigarettes at once when they look at it. A good friend of mine recently saw it for the first time and said, "Gross, I hate it."

Nik's story submitted with the Vampire Captain Bobblehead trade offer: 

Two months ago my grandmother passed away. She was a hoarder of everything porceilain. For months I've been moving little Hummel statues, charming figurines, foofy tea pots, victorian dishes from one side of the house to the other. There were millions of them.

Debra's Story Submitted with Yoni Art Quilt:

Back in 2007 there was a "yoni" quilt challenge that I decided to enter through the Quiltart listserve. The resulting piece (9.5" x 11") is abstractly realistic such that you know pretty readily what it is.

There are not very many venues that looking to display yonis. Sad, but true,......so the poor thing has been languishing ever since. No yoni should languish. She needs to get out into the world and see things,....be with other people.

Marry's Story that came with Dancing Figures Painting

I have a little cousin. She and I are almost the same age, but our lives are completely different. It wasn't always like that.

We used to go to the same school together. Than one day something horrible happened to her: she got into a car accident. The doctors in the hospital said they doubted if she'd ever wake up again from the coma they had to put her in after all the physical trauma. She survived, though be it barely...

Etienne is a bit of a rebel on the outside but inside, he is just as warm and fuzzy as the rest of us.

Etienne has a reputation for being explosive but that is only when he doesn't get his own way. He is approximately 2 feet long from head to toe.

There are sparse hairs on the head and under the arms. This is an important detail. He is proud of his hair growth.

So, how he came to be...

“Paint by number?”  by Kevin McClintic – February 2011

This is my second trade with Rosalie at bARTer Sauce.  This time, I traded a beautiful, old oil painting depicting a large sailing ship battling huge waves during a storm.

Ryan's Story Submitted with The Stickers:

I was raised by a saintly woman of medium build, and a brazen father of short stature. The latter a vietnam war veteran, evangelical christian and closeted homosexual. When I was a child I used wear dresses and play "house". As I grew older I realized that this was not a societal norm. At age sixteen I ran away from home and haven't been back since.

Creepier than skeletons, this lot of 5 Arian style doll heads have blue eyes, blonde hair, long wire "spinal columns" coming out of the necks, and a total of 9 hands.

I received these from a friend as a birthday present. He thought that I should use them to create artistic clothing. The thing is, I don't make artistic clothing. I make creative costumes, functional hats and unnecessary lingerie, but no wearable art that uses blue-eyed doll heads.
