“Public Toilet Art” by Johnny P. Head

Art project: Feel free to try this one at any time. Create a number of small, two dimensional works of art (I suppose there isn’t any reason you couldn’t do three dimensional art, although it probably shouldn’t be very big) and then laminate them in some way. If you have packing tape, you can cover the artwork in strips, overlapping each strip by a tiny bit. This will keep the pee and other environmental yuckiness from destroying the work too quickly. (If you have a three dimension object, you’re on your own for keeping it undamaged.)

For safety reasons, it would probably be best to either NOT sign the work, or to sign it with an unknown alias. People get snippy when confronted with unsanctioned public art.

Next, take the artwork (it can be an image, a slogan, photograph, collage, or some combination of these) into a public restroom at a restaurant or park, or somewhere similar, and affix the piece to the wall where it will be seen by the patrons of the restroom. This will add a little surprise and, perhaps, even some joy to a mundane, sometimes unpleasant, physical activity.

If you want, you can sign the work, Johnny P. Head. I’ll take the heat… Just have some fun, and don’t get caught!
