Smells like Thek

Today I was at the UCLA gym. I only go to the gym to use the elliptical machine because I feel like every other machine at the gym is pointless. I mean i can just walk, I don't need no fancy treadmill...


but I digress, so I was at the gym, minding my own business elliptical-ing away and a man decided that he would work out on the elliptical machine right next to me. Mind you there were about 6 other ellpitical machines available. I payed this man no attention...until I started to smell something foul.


Yes, this man decided it would be beneficial to not wear deoderant and have a rigorous workout. This man smelled like rotten cauliflower drizzled with moldy water. This horrendous smell got me thinking about one of my favorite artists.

Paul Thek


You ask why: Paul Thek's work reminds you of something dirty and disgusting, his meat pieces, crazy exhibitions with birds and hanging body parts....


so than I thought if I love an artist who creates pieces that are intentionally gross looking and I'm just going to assume that his pieces were at once smelly, than I should think of this stinky man as a creator like Paul Thek.
