ARTIST STATEMENT
“Unlovingly thrown together in a dilapidated shed on a miserable day in England.
Intended solely as an unauthorized art drop at the Dismaland Bemusement Park in Weston-Super-Mare by the uninvited “artist” DMS.
An ironic piece of guerrilla art, or a thinly veiled attempt to cash in on the latest cool thing? Who cares?
Measuring at around a disappointing 4cm of badly hand painted resin. Comes in a cheap plastic bag with a hastily home printed header.
Unsuitable for those under 15 years, unnecessary for those over 15 years. Limited to an uncertain amount.
May contain imperfections, may contain nuts, dissatisfaction guaranteed*
Buy it, don’t buy it. I’m not bothered.”
