Um, Daniel Edwards, the artist who created the nude bust of Hillary Clinton, the sculpture of Britney Spears giving birth on a bear rug, and the commemorative "first poop" casting of Suri Cruise, is playing into the public's obsession for celebrity minutiae.
Thing is, this guy is becoming a noted artist, who clearly enjoys blurring the line between celebrity info-tainment and serious art. Not only does he create a piece of art that goes right into the category of TMI, he also creates something you might believe the celebrity in question would commission. Admit it, you actually thought "Crazy Tom" had his daughter's poop bronzed.
(edit: obviously no one on this board did)
The auction benefits the March of Dimes. Right now, the bidding is at $110.00, and will close on Thursday night. For a relatively low price, you could be the proud owner of an early work by someone who's likely to
(okay, I'll edit this too: someone who might very well) become recognized as an important artist.
The OP included a link to Fox News, a fine source of incomplete and slanted reporting. For a more complete look at the artist and his other works, try the
Capla Kesting Fine Art website.
