After discovering blood in his urine, a graduate art student from Taiwan did what any sane, rational person would have done – he used it as inspiration to create Iron Man’s head out of his own piss.
He searched for two months to find a toilet with just the right shape, and then successfully altered his diet to give his pee red, green and black hues. The resulting work, which was aptly titled “Blood Urine Man”, was entered into a competition where the “artist” had to continually touch up his work with spit while subjecting the entire area to a foul piss funk while waiting for his work to be judged.
Strangely enough, he won top prize, beating out 600 other competitors. One of the judges even remarked that this is an emerging type of body art:
“By using the excreta from his body to create images, it is really a breaking of traditional art.”
There you go, people – take a dump on a canvas and you could be the next great modern artist.

Digital artist Victor Hugo imagines what Iron Man would be like in ridiculous CG detail—and it looks like it jumped right out of a Pixar movie. Hey—Disney, Pixar and Marvel are all under the same umbrella, so who knows what could happen.
