AD that rocks! Hey buy those bug gut paintings (what’s left!) at her web site, www.admaddox.com.
What an AWESOME imagination and spirit you have! Immortality for all the bugs that bite the dust on your bike!! You ride girl!!
That’s awesome AD. You are so creative and innovative! :-)
A Great Video!
Your inventive and creative energy never ceases to amaze me. And your enthusiusm always puts a smile on my face. Can’t wait for your next project!
How much for the one on the workbench? Have you done anything with roadkill?
she sounds like Holly Hunter
funny. pathetic. not art. craft.
What the hell was that? Art is the last woord I would use to describe putting paint on a canvas then driving around to kill bugs.
What a load of bugshite.
“I am an artist”
Puhhhhhleeeeease I have seen better art when I take a dump.
you realize that defining the process of how you make the piece does not make it art, you have to define the motivation and inspiration behind it. If you can explain what is the emotional connection behind ramming bugs into the paint then I’ll give you a little more credit but until then it’s simply a gimmick. Congrats on duping rich people into buying it though.
The actual paintings are pretty good though. Ditch the bugs
Art is a concept visualised.
You seem to have started off with a gimmick and worked your way up from that.
You are, at best, a ‘craftsman’, NOT an artist.
I’m going to strap a canvas to my jeep and run over people = art
you should ride around naked and collect bugs on your boobs. I’d pay to see that.
i found myself riding my bike, and thinking about art, and then realized i was actually retarded.
I get no sense that she is trying to communicate aything. Art is a means of communicating thoughts or feelings from the artist to the viewer. If the viwer doesn’t pick up on what the artist is communicating, it’s bad art. If there is no intent to communicate, then it isn’t art, it’s merely masturbation. There’s nothing wrong with masturbation, just don’t call it art.
bollocks.
Absolutely retarded. You are not an artist and this takes no talent. The only reason you are getting any attention is that you are a mildly cute blonde on a motorcycle. If you were fat and ugly, you would receive no attention. This is an example of everything wrong with art today. This is pure crap.
Good work getting your friends to heap piles of hyperbolic nonsense on your page.
honestly, those first few comments sounded like they came from a “how to make artists feel good” quotebook.
Ducati Monster = Art. everything else is just bonus.
There is a God and thy name is George P Burdell. I completely agree with you. I also think this applies to 98% of most of the art out there. The main difference being that she appears to shower regualrly and not make us “confront the smells and hair of the gorgeous female body” kinda stuff. I do think I will get some used TP with some “brown splotches” on it and glue those funny little googly eyes to it and sell it as art… because something is only art if it sells right?
I’ve never heard a real artist self refer to themselves as an artist so much.
unforch the superficialness of your MO (as stated) translates onto your work. thin. meaningless. forgot about it the second i turned my head away.
haha it didnt “stick” with me? get it?? hahah!
I’d hit it.
this is crap not art. the only art on her page is the ducati
You’re an artist. A con artist.
wow. really horrendous. i read the posts before watching the clip, and i thought, ‘well, let’s take a look- it’s an interesting idea… maybe it doesn’t have to communicate an idea, maybe its just visually interesting, and maybe that’s enough.’ Boy was i wrong. Not even an interesting idea. It’s a celebration of the mundaned, minus the whole ‘celebration’ part. i have to admit, though- when the idle rich masturbate, they really pull out all the stops…
She is an artist, one who has noticed and adopted a unique way to add texture to her art. There’s little artistry in the way she applies that texture, and the value of the “art” may be questionable, but look at what passes for art and talent anyway these days. - www.fidhawser.com
What a retarded experience, I am much dumber for having seen that. Dumb whore.
heh “the bugs are gonna make… a unity… with this painting, if that makes any sense”
Instead of bugs maybe you could try oncoming traffic?
It is art, original and creative. If you ask me Matisse and Warhol’s quality is just as questionable. Art is all about marketing. A blonde showing a little skin and riding on a Ducati - that’s marketing!
pretentious…ducati suits you perfectly!
I just watched the video and I have to say this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen! I mean, the way those bugs made a unity with that painting! Just wow! You are a true visionary, A D!
Will you suck my cock? I’ll pay you and everything.
Is this for real? Is it just a gimmick to drive people to your website?
If people are really buying paintings with bugs splattered on them, I really need to start selling my old underwear. I could make a forune! Especially when last night’s dinner makes a ‘unity’ with my drawers.
Lame.
Duchamp did away with all that ‘what is art’ crap years ago with a urinal. If she says it’s art, it’s art. You don’t have to like it, you don’t even have have to agree. You simply have to not give her patronage. If you don’t like something, leave.
Persoanly i think it’s kinda wack.
“. . .I don’t feel bad about killng bugs . . . ”
she has the depth of a drunk high schooler.
If she were a fat guy with a ponytail and a beard, this wouldn’t be online with comments.
the only thing i find humourous is if someone actually buys one of these.
Just think of the money you could make editing these comments into a book!
i had to show this to a friend so she could get a laugh, too. the first time i watched it, i didn’t get all the way through before i couldn’t bear it. this time i saw the whole thing. the “joke” at the end is as common and tacky as this trust fund poser and her little slipshod abominations. artists around the world are now climbing into their graves and thrashing around.
total CRAP
What a fucking hack.
What an Ingenious Beauty!! OK the idea is “out of the box” but she sure has succeeded in getting a huge REACTION from a lot of viewers including me! Super Creative Being! Hats off to you AD!!
If this is an exquisite satire on the state of art and commerce in North America today, bravo to the filmmaker. If it is what it appears to be, however (a pretentious doo-doo stack with a commercial at the end) Boo! Boo, I say!
“…There is a God and thy name is George P Burdell. I completely agree with you…”
http://www.rru.com/gpb/
I think I was more entertained reading these comments than actually watching the clip!
I agree! It’s amazing how mean people can be! Critiquing a video is one thing … Critiquing the Person is completely another. They’re all just jealous of her because she’s very beautiful and ingenious!
“Art is a means of communicating thoughts or feelings from the artist to the viewer. If the viwer doesn’t pick up on what the artist is communicating, it’s bad art.”
come on! did you miss the 20th century? art is so many different things… the idea that it’s always supposed to be a conduit of thoughts and feelings from the artist to the viewer is incredibly conservative and outdated. i agree with jym above. maybe this work is not your cup of tea, but that it provokes such an impassioned response here on the internets is reason enough to deem it interesting. even if she didn’t intend this to be satire, if we want to read it as such than it functions as such, regardless of the artist’s intentions. plus, it looks like a fun thing to do with your ducati, so more power to you.
Thanks Den!!! Durty Durty fo eva.
You’re a hack.
Anyone defending you is as vapid and mindless as you are.
I’ll agree and say that art is as defined by the artist, but those who get that levity are qualified to BE an artist. An upside down urinal with Duchamp’s signature is art, because he can rightfully explain it to be so.
Perhaps you could devote some more time to understanding your medium and composition, understand the relationship between colors… why don’t you take some night classes or something? It would be a lot more beneficial for you to have a paper-mill degree from some community college in the area than to base your opinion of yourself and your “work” on the useless and uninformed posturing of your… your… whoever you surround yourself in that little enclave of the idle rich.
You are just being nice cause shes hot, want to see more of this art, have at the front of my hummer.
This needs a lame tag.
Someone mentioned earlier this was craft, not art. I always thought the difference was, that a “craft” had a specific utility, like a beautifully painted vase is still a purposeful flower holder. Art is something you look at but it doesn’t do anything except exist for your enjoyment, or criticism, or for turning you into an asshole so you can waste your precious insults on forums.
i have more taste in my penis
thanks for once again insulting us, the ones that are trying to survive creating something truly meaningful in this world…
that is not art, may we inform you, that is a sad and empty gimmick.
have fun killing bugs for money, and no you don’t deserve that ducati either.
cretina.
One can only hope that some god’s great gravitational canvas is vectoring into YOUR flight path and the last thing that will go through YOUR mind is that overblown Ducati. Darwinian art is the greatest art of all. It kills with a purpose. Your ‘art’ was done first by the flypaper people in 1872. I suspect that they have exhausted the market for such things.
By the way, the only word that comes to mind when I watch you is Cracker. Probably wanta change the name of the locale to just Hole. That’s, apparently, what it’s becoming.
I am also an artist. Underwear is my canvas and dookie is my medium. We could do a show together and you could give me props and tell me how the poop makes a unity with the cotton
Yeah Neil! Here’s the difference … Your work does NOT sell and hers DOES! HA …
surely someone who would buy a bug spattered painting would also buy my poop stained underwear….I mean hers is just random bugs, but mine is something deeeply personal
Yep.. you fucking suck. art? my anus. k thx bye.
While I was reading the “retarded” postings a rank odor began to come from my screen. It hit me like a bug in the mouth coming down Blacks. The shitter! It seems that the same writers that would leave their deep thoughts on the walls of the John had moved to this website. I was wondering where you had all gone. Hitting the head has not been the same for the last few years. I thought you had simply died out like the penny?
Most of you have your idea of what Art is. Congratulation for having an original idea, problem is you’re wrong. You might want to try something new, read. Here is the definition so you can begin the process we call learrrrrnnnnning. Art is the word we use when we refer to that creative activity or its result, when images and objects, sights and sounds, drawings and carvings, convey the beauty and splendor of the world, or realize the imagination of the artist, for the purpose of self-expression or the shared enjoyment of its creation. Art is that which elevates our interpretation of the world and of ourselves from mere description or narrative, to the sublime.
Elevate yourself. You’ve moved out of the bathroom and onto the web but nobody likes your stench.
Well done on ALL of your works of Art AD!!!
obviously an amazing film to get this much attention. its seems as though it was posted here to make us think about its contents or simply describe a happening. i found it entertaining. i am reletively new to the internet and dont understand why the content of so many forums totally lack intelligence and become 3rd grade name calling. poopie pants suck my —- stuff. this film is a nonbiased glimpse at comtemporary culture. way to go gonzwaley. if you dont like the art work dont buy it.
Tucker, sometimes I read books on the toilet. If some crazy drunk had carved me doing this and shot his penis out of a cannon??? that would be art. Fart.
Nothing is more humorous than a bunch of self proclaimed artists crying how someone else isn’t a real artist.

4 a : the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects
And incase you’re wondering, no I do not have an art degree…
Cadmium gives me goosebumps, too. That thing is so like hair and definitely should not go to waste on a car. The enduring question in art: “how can I catch all these bugs?” I don’t worry about bugs getting pissed of in their next life, either. I have always felt deep down inside that creativity is all about plowing them and cashing another check. Like here, the last thing that goes through my head is my ass. But Good God. I got a lot of bugs.
I thought it was totally hilarious. If you get pissed off because she says she’s an artist… then you need to loosen up and live a little. Her personality far outshines her ability as an artist… But who cares. The video was great and it really isn’t much different than watching an Andy Goldsworthy video. (You know some guy stacking rocks.) Piss off to the Naysayers. I want a copy.
Like George Carlin said “glue two things together that have never been glued together before and some sucker will buy it”
I’m a Duke rider since 1995 and God knows since then I add a lot of every part of my bike gears but never thought about sticking them with glue….Keep on being cool and ride
Au revoir from Paris,France
People! The bugs relate to the trout and flyfishing. The bugs are what the trout eat. The paintings are of the trout and the exact bugs they eat. This is the basis of all fly fishing and fly tying.
One word……Lame!
Nice post, bookmark it
Wow! who would’ve thunk it; Busting Bugs an art form. Hey Blondie! you need to come on down here to South Carolina where we grow’em pretty big here at Gallivants Ferry. We call’em flying alligator lizards. I’ll take you out in my red BMW and we can do some bustin!!!! ….Pewtus….. A.D. Maddox is my muse!
