Log Fish - an Unbelieveable Treasure from the Deep

Fishious Loggus Extraordinarinous

c. 2008 by Dingo

Concept stolen hook line & sinker by the creative dim bulb Damien Hirst 2008 - 2017

 

Living up to her name as a canine excavator extraordinaire, the New Dada artiste Dingo has the pleasure of announcing the discovery of that – until now – mythological prehistoric creature of the deep – Fishious Loggus Extraordinarious, or … Log Fish.

 

Thought by the early Victorians to have scoured the murky depths of an ancient tropical sea bed in the late Tertiary period ( 20 – 50 million years ago), its staple diet was speculated to have been plankton.

 

But of late, scholars had concluded that along with the Unicorn, the creature Fishious Logguis in fact only inhabited the fictional realm of dragons and sea monsters in seafaring legend.

 

However this fine Log Fish specimen was sniffed out and salvaged after 7 days and 7 nights of a painstaking archeoLOGical dive and is to be presented for sale dried-out, linseed oil-treated and mounted in a fine carved mahogany antique fish trophy box frame.

(Offers over £100,000 invited for this rarest of dAdA items.)

This, the 2008 creative spark ( for he forever needs to steal one ) behind Damien Hirst’s ” Treasues from the Wreck of the Unbelievable” finally realized March/April 2017. Naturally, for a talentless, skill-less and creatively vacuous “artist”, not one of the exhibits is created by Hirst’s own hand. news.artnet.com/art-world/here-are-the-first-official-pic...

 

” The suite of giant, high-production sculptures is presented as a cargo of lost world treasures that was sunk thousands of years ago, only to be salvaged in 2008 ”

 

 

Seems when Hirst runs out of other artists’ Works to mimic he resorts to nicking their novel concepts. DH is a lorry driver talent - and maybe that's being unfair to truckers.
