Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

I have taken up a part time hobby,,As a post-modernist conceptual artist.
I spend one night a week in Hoxton Juice Bars talking to people called Quentin, or Jocasta in a loud voice about post modernist surrealism. I also submit highly questionable objects to the Tate Modern to be entered for the Turner Prize.
Last year I wrote my name in Semen on a leopard's forehead, and displayed it under a single anglepoise lamp.
The year before, I filled a jam jar with my nasal detritus over a year and submitted that. I called it "A celebration of brutalist architecture in a post modernist cold war", or "Money for Old Rope" to give it it's shortened title.

Interesting!I think I caught your exhibition at the tate. Very disturbing but with a feminine feel. I love what you did with the semen - very now!

Next year I plan to submit a pyramid made out of dog faecestopped with a small street urchin. (I'll probably call it Hazelkenny's Mountain).

In truth!I actually did Fine Art at uni and stayed well away from the pretentious bollocks - but then again I didn't get my degree. Too busy having a life.

My truth is too boring...The James Bond-esque persona of Lunar Jim which I have created for myself with his wide raft of dubious work experience and his penchant for a lager-tops (shaken not stirred) is far more interesting than the real thing believe me.

...I like the conceptual games you play with the apostrophe in "it's" in the last line...

Big-girls-blouseSome might say that avoiding prententious bollocks in a fine art degree is akin to avoiding numbers in maths...

Maths..... has very few numbers in it at degree level i found to my disgust.
