Hobo Newswire – Sometime next week

For over twenty years now, area resident Skuzz McSnott has been busy creating slimy masterpieces on sidewalks, the sides of buildings, the sneakers of the fruity guy that jogs by, and even on discarded napkins and other assorted trash. He also likes to make little mini-pieces by being thrown against windows or glass doors. Indeed, McSnott has been busy sliming (and skuzzing) things up for quite a while. Even so, he has remained a local artist - with a relatively small hippie following - and until recently has barely been able to make ends meet.

That all changed five months ago when McSnott's artwork was discovered by renowned New York artsy guy, Floyd Packer. Mr. Packer took McSnott's unique subject (and physical) matter to the fart crazed galleries of New York and Los Angeles where this new style was quickly embraced by millions of people with tiny brains and fat wallets. Now, McSnott's snotty trash has translated into big bucks at high end art galleries where his latest works command well into the six figures. One piece by McSnott, called “Never-ending Snott Factory”, recently sold for $1.2 million at Sotheby's auction house in New York. It is rumored that Paris Hilton bought the Snott Factory, although Sotheby's declined to comment citing privacy (and other unmentionable) concerns.

No one knows what's next for McSnott, although he did hint at trying a dangerous new piece involving fermented cough syrup and table salt.
