About me
David Scott Aubrey is a world-renowned artist and writer, with works numbering in the hundreds of thousands across media and genres of all types.
Some of his best-known works include the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, I'm Not Lactating Nearly Enough, the Eisner Award-winning comic book series, Christ! What's That Under My Foot? and the Myer Award-winning performance art piece, Damn Gravity, where he maintains a marathon seven hour stint in front of a large television whilst sleeping on a recliner in an air-conditioned room on a hot summer's day in a post-ironic protest against global warming.
His latest work is another performance art piece called, The David Fund, where he attempts to disprove The Secret's Law of Attraction by daring people to send him large sums of money for absolutely nothing in return. Those who wish to disprove his disproval can send money. Those who want to prove his disproval can send money, too. Uh ... wait, I'm confused ... ! Ehh ... just send money.
His Archibald Prize-winning series of Surrealist paintings, Yes, A Rhino's Horn Up the Backside Would Be a Pain in the Ass, I'd Imagine can be seen at the National Gallery until the 15th.
You can also find copies of his new ARIA Award-winning CD, Noises I Make to Clear Elevators 2 online if you're fast enough.
Can you handle my blog? Sometimes, I'm not sure I can ... !
My work
Tired just thinking about work of any kind. Work leads to diseases like the horrible Having to Wake Up to an Alarm, the agonizing Catching Public Transport, and the debilitating Missing Your Nap Today.
Fast facts
