It’s a little messy, but all artists make a bit of a mess. And anyway, it’s part of the performance as well. How long have dolphins been covered in oils against their will? Today, by doing it cheerfully, he’s reclaiming control! It’s a strong statement made even stronger because he refuses to let some corporation drag him down.

By implying that he is both artist and canvas, this little dolphin is doing what some will never do: he’s taking responsibility for himself. Joyfully, he says that his life is what he makes it, that only he creates his own destiny. It’s quite a bold statement for one so young, and it’s terribly optimistic in this dark age we live in now.

It’s rare that talent and youthful exuberance combine, even though it’s clear the work is completely without porpoise.

Wear this shirt: near a college, while lying in an alley doing heroin and weeping. It’ll help someone get an A on their photography assignment. Sometimes good deeds are subtle.

Don’t wear this shirt: as an example of the character you want to create in White Wolf’s Vampire: The Masquerade.

This shirt tells the world: “Joy has the shortest wavelength.”
