Have you, at some point in your life, been strongly disturbed by a certain piece of artwork?
I was doing some research on Francis Bacon (the painter) for my Art History class, and I was unable to keep my eyes on the book because everything about makes me want to vomit.
How about you? |

| Wow. That Francis Bacon stuff is... different. But cool. That haunted picture from a little while back made me a little uneasy, but I've never felt physically ill from viewing art. |

| Afraid not. pictures dont affect me that way. And besides I am a sick twisted individual so that helps. |

| I love Francis Bacon!...Made you physically sick?...I didn't know that was possible. I had a friend once who said his ultimate artistic goal was to create a painting that made the viewer so enraged that he would rip it off the wall and try to destroy it. He...was a weirdo. |

my own work often tends to grow two dicks on my forehead and devil horns on my ass cheeks.
does that count? |

| I wouldn't say that I get physically ill, but Thomas Kinkade boutiques fill me with a sort of barely-containable primal urge to destroy. |

| Balistic: I agree with you, but they makes me sick and wanting to kill at the same time. |
