Here is Gilbert and George holding CUPCO nude Gilbert and George with shits! Thanks to Richard Perram the owner of CUPCO nude Gilbert and George with shits. We all had a fun time meeting Gilbert and George and when I told Gilbert that I had made the dolls for them he said: “Very Good!” five times in a refined English accent. Then Art Gallery stromtrooper lady got angry and moved us on. Thanks for the photo Richard and Stephen!

I made 4 sets of CUPCO Gilbert and Georges for the end of year show at Damien Minton Gallery last year. Unfortunately I didn’t get photos of the nude set and the Grey suit set. All the dolls come with their own shit wich dangles from the ass and can be swapped with the head to make a shithead and then the head can be attached to the crotch to make the worls first SELFSUCK SHITHEAD DOLL! It was always my intention to send one sets of dolls to Gilbert and Georgebecause they are heroes of mine and then by the luck of the art gods they came to town. Here is a little story in the Sydney Morning Herald about how Gilbert and George came into ownership of CUPCO Gilbert and George:

ART DUO’S ‘CRAP’ GIFT

ENGLISH artists Gilbert & George, famous for their ”crap art”, pose an interesting challenge in the gift-giving stakes. What does one give such eccentric artists, brought to Sydney by the arts patron John Kaldor, and whose work features many – ahem – unseemly elements?

However, for the Sydney artist Luke Temby, who has created something a cult following for his plush dolls, depicting everyone from suicide bombers to Kevin Rudd, it wasn’t a challenge at all.

”I was watching a documentary about Gilbert & George towards the end of last year … and was really inspired by how funny and crazy and weird and fun they were,” said Temby, who went on to create a series of dolls in their honour, complete with their own mini piles of replica poo made of felt.

Gilbert & George received their gift yesterday, just ahead of Valentine’s Day.
