Thank God for artists like Grayson Perry, People like him keep the world from being dull and grey.

His pottery is just as controversial as his alter ego, don't forget to see that, not just *Claire*.

i did a prject about this guy at collge last month, i thoughroughly enjoyed working on him, he was the most diverse person i've ever done a project on.

just discovered his work. Sounds interesting to have pottery in Turner Prize.

His way of dressing reminds me immediately of Mommie Dearest.

You raise many good points.

You live in the world of the arts, where people are open-minded and tolerant; you have the freedom of expression denied to many of us.

Some desire the attention you describe, but on our terms, we feel exposed to the prejudice, narrow-mindedness and intolerance that exists in our little provincial towns. So, for now, some may have the opportunity to share with a loving partner, or for many just the full length mirror; and strive to be 'relaxed with our uniqueness'.

I am sorry man, you are not helping anybody by doing it!!!! it's not even nice!!! please people from equalityhumanrights, its not fear... As long every body knows, millions of people are looking for help at this moment. so why giving a chance of a guy like this one to show it at youtube???

Please, help people, not make them more sad and invulnerable with this wrong madness of artist thing.

I was watching and sending to friends your videos, but today I my change my mind.
