Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti

Shitting stones


David in pampers, St. James, Port of Spain, Trinidad

In the vaults below Bill Gates' estate, in his vast collection of journals and notebooks from artists from the Renaissance, a square leather crafted handbook once belonging to Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti highlights his crowning achievement. Written in the margin, the Italian sculptor writes;

“To my achieving act as God’s abiding servant, shall the heart of man bring forth, my humblest statue David shall be transformed to the island of Trinity, there he shall be clothed, only then shall God rest.”


Believe it on not, Michaelangelo’s intolerance to the hypocrisies of clergymen allowed him to immortalize their portraits by cleverly disguising the their faces into his fresco paintings as the penis heads of the male nudes not clearly visible from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.


The statue of David, clothed with what appears to be a packed and soiled Preveil Protective adult pamper.

Michelangelo once remarked, "The accuracy of carving feet posed his greatest challenge". Placed outside the Palazzo Vecchio, the sculpture stands at 14' 3'' tall.

What is astonishing about this billboard is that some thought must have taken place to fuse these three elements together.

1. The statue of David
2. A young female model #
3. One large pamper

#. Bed-wetting not only affects the aged, but the young, the beautiful and the feminine. The woman in the sign is simply comfortable with the garment bunched around her waist.
