Pay It Forward Ass Art

Imagine getting a gigantic package in the mail, opening it with great anticipation and then the coming to the shocking realization that it's a male nude drawing with a farmer's tan. While you're imagining that, I lived it and so might one of you.

The Ass Art Back Story: We were in San Diego attempting to lessen the torture that is flying to Australia, drinking in a bar/local art dealership and mocking the nude surfer girl with tan lines piece. We found it so ridicufunny that we had our photo taken with it. Fast forward a year. Our doorman has us sign for the largest package (besides mine) of all time, from the ex boyfriend of my wife's friend in SD.

After the half hour it took to unwrap we stared suspiciously at this rather bizarre work of art. Why would he send us a painting of a man's ass? Was it a self portrait? ( He was in pretty good shape) What about us screams 'man ass'? We consulted with notable art critics such as the pot delivery guy, Vic Christopher and a Salvadoran cleaning lady and they too were baffled.

My girl was hesitant to bring this matter up with her friend, but had to get to the bottom of this. Her friend was as shocked as we were. She got the scoop and revealed that it was a clever take on the original tan line portrait that we adored, only we were to focused on the ass to notice the farmer's tan.

Our goal is to send this painting around the country to unsuspecting friends that will be as shocked as we were by it's arrival, with the hope that they too will send it to a friend and pay it forward.
