A PORTRAIT IN BLOOD

[unplugged123]

it would have been a lot more powerful if you could have gotten the blood of north korean defectors in south korea to donate some of their blood...

[imblue36752100]

OH, NASTY. How did it smell in there afterward?

[SizyLand]

i love you art man, i just don't like seeing blood and needles. :S ha

[newyorkyy]

im a hemophobe and this was torture to watch. but i watched it because you are such and incredible artist and person, and i wanted to see the whole process of making this portrait and what you did to make your it. you are truley an inspiration :)

[fishboy8675309]

Am I the only one who is curious about what bloodtype he is?

[xxstarsavyxx]

omg this guy has balls. i would never be able to do this to myself. never.....

[folieimposee]

why the fuck would you go through the effort to paint that stupid asian fuck? You must be into communism or some shit. Cool Idea...I personally use leeches and paint on canvas but non the less cool work.

[NextToNothing123]

@folieimposee I think you're misinterpreting the message. Phil Hansen isn't honouring Kim Jong Il. The materials Phil has chosen (blood and bandaids) are in an effort to criticize the politician and raise awareness of political shortcomings; he has done this to not only draw attention to all the blood that has been spilled as a result of one man with a lot of power, but to question how much one person's blood is worth, and how much it can serve to represent the blood of the many.

[usernamegta4]

this is how Egyptian people did it n the dark dark walls and it was blood of slave people.Also it was harder than this one because it was in dark hallways

[Death82]

lol what if this guy has diseases...

he's painting this poster with his blood...

if u buy it get yourself tested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol jk jk but yea take precautions lol...

NICE POSTER BY THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jjccccc]

have you considered using paint instead i hear there are more pigmants to

[GrotesqueRomance]

way to suffer for your art lol

[artman4444]

A George W. Bush portrait in shit should be your next one.

[Believer58138]

thats so crazy yet brilliant. wow.. amazing...

[SimonXR]

who's that on the pic?

[theunknownpast]

some hairy or wrinkly guy.... Idk 0_0

[nekkedturtle]

@theunknownpast It's the communist leader of North Korea. Wiki him. He's a pretty big deal, if you didnt know

[SweetSunshineCamper]

I thought you were joking......Wow, and it's your own blood. That would be an interesting conversation: "Hey what's that painting?"...."Oh that, it's a painting i painted with my own blood."....."Whhaaaa?"

[quiltknit]

No One should waste Real Blood- ON that Living Creep!

[DarthLynsea1]

reminds me of that one artist that froze his blood then made a sculpture of his head. awesome stuff

[plakplaatje]

i'm looking for the name of this artist, was it Damien Hirst? And do you know this sculpture's title? thanks

[snorkem7]

im so buying it

[seeeethhhe]

your an amazing artist.

[bryanx07]

heh, maybe they can clone you from a portrait of a dictator...

[getdownbaby]

blood doesn't really have a bad smell, its more psychotic than factual.

[DogDino]

1:39 looks like your intestance XD

[EvilEvaMarie]

Great idea on using blood to paint this ruler!!!

[nnoott1989]

i once gave my boy friend a vile of my blood as his birthday gift

[QuilmTwe]

wtf? did he like it. no offence but thats a fucked up birthday present

[nnoott1989]

he told me its the sweetest thing anyone has ever done and started crying then i hugged him just let me tell you i had the best sex ever that night

[darken27]

O.o

That's probably the weirdest birthday present I've ever heard of. lol

But I see where you're comin' from. It's a personal type of thing. It takes guts to draw your own blood, which shows your dedication to that friend.

It's a pretty neat idea, I suppose. I would be worried about my friend being totally creeped out though. XD

[almostcrime49]

hey if it's worth sex that good, i'd chop of my own penis... no wait, that wouldn't work

oh wellllll

hope you enjoyed

thanks for sharing the little story

was rather scary tho

oh well

nice video

again a brilliant piece by phil

:DD

[mbolanos1114]

thats awesome, i wish i was as creative as you

[brainstorming123]

you sick crazy psychopath.... :O

but nice painting tho

[teddy596]

physco~

[aznkid156]

This guy is so devoted to art he even used his own blood to get the message across. I kind of admire him

[sindre360]

Sick!

[taingu112]

He entertains us AND after hes finish, he can donate it it!~ Lawl xD

[hippiekoolaid420]

i couldnt even imagine the smell

but hat is impresive

[killakev128]

i wonder how many people in north korea could have used his blood.

[Oli93ilO]

i also paint with blood

[JeroFlib]

muy artistico, no se?

que mierdaa, jooer!

[athegoosep]

what a nasty scab that must have turned out to be

[Axelboi]

thats stupid usn ur own blood why didnt u just use paint

[NamesROverated]

why, not, it makes it unique

[lilrepper]

it represents all the death in korea under this mans hands

[yothazme2]

WOW. no one gets to say they poured themselves into their art more than phil hansen ever.

[jandlrockursocks]

omg he would have lost alot of blood

[anko8aug]

make kim jong il with own blood why him?

he's not a good man lock the people down and make atomic bomb and give it to middle east.

[parsiak]

why do you think the portrait is in blood?

[maladroitgirl]

I think it's to show the blood being sacrificed for him, it's pointillism.

[weeepie]

Portrait is realy amazing, but don't you think that painting with your own blood is kinda creepy?

[Sarry777]

Lots of people use their own blood to paint, actually. It's a strange medium, yes, but it's art - you use whatever inspires you.

[sticky1305]

As always Phil, creative and brilliant.

[XMorpheus3000]

Awesome work. This may sound gross, but, I've got two questions. 1. Wouldn't it have been easier to use a small brush instead of a Q-Tip (That was a Q-Tip, wasn't it?)? I would think that the Q-Tip would absorb the blood and make it harder to work with.

2. How did you keep the blood from coagulating?

[Vecun]

(2.) i think its because of the bag hes using ^^. always when hes painting, he closes it, so it doesnt coagulate

[corporatek]

Trippy...

[Hexicgirl]

awesome!

[athelia4444]

why is everybody so grossed out by a painting made of blood? do you think it's sick when you get your blood checked at the doctor? or are you people some kind of biohazard freaks?

[wolfmangrr]

why Kim..?

[BorderSkt99]

Arghh!!gross but its awesome lol[[=

[swimmergirl0331]

That's kind of gross, but I love the message that it portrays. You are an amazing artist. Keep up the good work.

[PrescriptionDeath]

wow, and with that little blood

[patrickDK08]

ough,ouch,ugh,and oh

[jessica1374]

Glad you chose the freeze guard ziploc bag.

[idiumbo]

That is so sick!

Sick both meaning awesome, and quite gross.

[Xhado0]

That is a good way to make someone thing you are completely insane. Here is how it would go:

"hey, hey you, wanna see this painting in my house, I made it with MY OWN BLOOD, BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA"

Awesome painting though.

[MoeMoe100197]

Ouch!.... that must haqve hurt!

[penMAKer92]

AWESOME! O.O

[huleyman128]

dear phil :)... why did you disable rating on this vid :)?

cant tell you a reason for doing that, ;D tihs is great :)

[blackbeltpride2]

...now that;s what i call sacrificing for your art.

[LaChelleHood]

really good job .... to be honest I almost threw up watching it. I just dont like blood. You are very imaginative though.

[valaurwen]

I feel that this is your best work yet. So beautifully thoughtful... and you didn't even have to say one word.

[wasserbrunner]

ide feel a little weird holding a cup with my own blood in it and using it as paint.

[hollyisme088]

haha i totally agree... although it is an amazing piece

[DoKu69]

:) well in high school i read very little but when i did my research this discribes Kim Jong perfectly...such a beatiful peace and such lengths to get the word out ^-^ i admire ur talents and thought :)

[PureTalent101]

His best one is the one of jimi hendrix

[6199juggalo]

agreed:D

[toiletman666]

dude that is cool. i personally wouldnt do that but thats my choice. if your media is blood then let it rain blood! your a very skilled artist. dont let others get you down. always do what you wanna do. nice job dude really nice job.

[Meshastatam]

That is super gross...

[sevegarza]

that's so emo

[NightSta1ker]

How?! He isn't whining and cutting himself for attention, he's make a work of art. What does it matter if his medium of choice is his own blood?

[6199juggalo]

jealous of talent?

[graceforever012]

I'm Korean & i think the thought being this piece of art is incredibly thoughtful.

Kim Jong Il is a cruel dictator and he's spilled much blood on Korean soil.

& I think that represents perfectly how many lives he's ruined.

[colorfulbuddy]

what is this song???

[KairiShy]

blood tastes good.

[xbloodykiinsx]

thats amazing

[MrRysiu]

Smell must be awful

[catseesyou]

LOL! when you run out of paint use blood! XD lol! good job, nice art. XD

[SpartanArbitar117]

i don't get it a portrait of blood just to get not even famous on youtube but really cool dude

[luvvxatxfirstxspikee]

that is really cool on so many levels, but sick and wrong to me in the many levelss it hurts to watchh

[TheRockinPuko]

dude, that is awsome! a painting made out of blood! i mean, that must be quite an achievment!

[frylock3o]

Meh, it's his blood, he can do what he wants with it.

Pretty cool symbolism in my book. You obviously have talent. Nice.

[jennyxdee]

you are so cool.

that's basically a perfect metaphor for tons of artists. we give everything we have. sometimes it feels like your own blood is going into a piece, and you personified it for us =]

[gothgirl12322222222]

i luv blood its color, its texture, but most of all its taste...  *licks lips* sooo sexy and ps i alredy know im a freak

[FineBlackGirl]

i fuccin luv blood too..i thought i was the only 1 lol

[gabee2494]

ok im not all for painting with blood but me myself being a pretty well seasoned artist i give you some kick ass artist apprecitaion you got great skills dude

[Jackimole]

wtf, r u retarted? y would ne1 ever paint with their own blood. its just so sick and wrong on so many levels. how bout donating it to a blood drive and save lives instead.

[goblingirl13]

Did you know some people CANT give blood because of hereditary diseases that are in the blood?My friend Kathy cant give blood because Cancer runs in her family and she has it..She wants to but cant. I cant because I'm to little 4'11 and I don't meet the weight standered

See? Not everything is what it seems.

[fatkidsgettinghurt]

Maybe you should do one of Bush.

[red14x]

like psh who buys paint anymoore

[mileycyrusrocks112]

wat the hell

[bbycross92]

are you fucktarted or crazy?

[Zombiesforever101]

WTF!!!!! Blood is not for painting!!!!!!!

[muppetfan1]

You know, I think he donate his blood and help save a life instead of painting a picture, I don't know it kind of seems, smarter than wasting it?

[marley8782]

awesomeeeeeeee

[LOLz420k]

freakin cool

[munchmunch1011]

[moonhowlz]

that is an amazing idea. i am amzed at the idea of blood because people hate it but its so necessary. really good picture as well!

[ziplocMASTER]

why?

[tehsprite]

because he is a terrible dictator whose history is written in blood

[agentxbox2]

holy crap...

[TatyDarkangel]

Can you send me that blood that you dont need?

LOL

I love it...

[selinmelissa]

uhhh that's f***ing cool-luv it (-; lol

[chris2z]

just watching the blood being taken out makes me squeamish!

[dodinho95]

oh man this made me damn sik!

Respect i could not do that

[leslieroha]

hahaha cool (Y)

[ChaoticChrist]

Inspiring! I was actually thinking of doing something like that myself. You beat me to it! Yours is on a much grander scale though.

[bugogorac]

I bet that painting has a foul stench to it.

Anyway, creative way to get attention, if you can't paint very well...

[willdabeast88883333]

you are BY FAR my favorite contemporary artist!

next to Joe Bohrer of course!

[sblime123]

BRUTAL

[Britslayer]

thats really awesome

[rebekahjade]

EW THATS GROOOOOSSSSSSS!

[taitergater]

[en3rgieboy]

wow that is karzzzzzzzy, you might need more bloods :S

[Hillbillypop70]

Is this a tribute or a critic? with so many genocide-loving commie scumbags out there one never knows.

[blackrose51]

I've painted in blood before, but never so large a pic, or so pro. just thought it was a good idea and put a few cuts on my arm. this looks amazing though, how did you get hold of the drain?

[amandapessoaa]

STUPID!

[Killer67312]

nice music^^ ouchies

[MeDueleTanto]

I love this man. Sounds like something thing I would do...but blood dries so fast, not sure how I would get it done.

[musicforlovetrade]

[bella42190]

[seymaria01]

[1welcomemat]

[Tiinkj]

SICK

[hazza940]

[seymaria01]

[Ashanti12345]

[ghettogrl300]

[ps2knutz]

[therave38]

[chillieluvr45]

Now THAT'S sacrificing yourself to art! It's a little morbid but I love the irony of it.

[OblitR8R]

[roadkillferretgirl]

[pachikaandroxy2]

[DJB6483]

I was in a car wreck a few years back, I lost like 3 or 4 pints if someone could have video taped the accident, what I looked like & all the stuff I've been through ! dude, my life was painted in blood for real..

[s00andre]

Open Letter to Phill,

Dear Phill, I've watched all of your vids, and I think you are SO talented, i like 99% of your vids, but this was the exception, instead of wasting that blood, you could have donated to the red cross. I can't deny that this is a beautiful painting (although a lil' disgusting) but my mother is a doctor, and she always talks about how patients die because sometimes they can't find blood for them, so it was a little painful for me to watch you wasting your precious blood.

[imaturtlegurl]

i have to agree. the picture was awesome, but u could have really helped someone's life with the blood.

[hoopsgirl520]

I totally agree! Maybe he could sell the painting and donate the money!

My question is, who is the girl who took his blood?

[TheKittu]

Hey, its his blood.

1: That must have hurt and made u feel dizzy losing all that blood.

2: The smell HAD to be terrible! [[i think blood smells like rust and salt! >XP ]]

3:That was sooo wierd.
