    The art world is buzzing with talk of who will win the hotly contested, £20,000 Turner Prize this year. Tipped as favourite to win is a creation by artist Martin Creed, which consists of a blob of Blu-Tak pressed onto a wall.

    Creed's other two masterpieces; a screwed up piece of A4 paper and a strip of masking tape stuck to a wall are also good but the real excitement is around the Blu-Tak exhibit. Creed denied rumours that the Blu-Tak entry came about by accident when a Christmas card fell off the wall.
    You think I'm joking right? Well I'm not! This is a serious art award for serious money! My personal all time favourite was Tracey Emin's 1999 winner, 'An Unmade Bed', which was basically an unmade ****ing bed.

    I could really use £20,000 and I think my masterpiece may be in with a chance this year if I can get my entrie in on time. I've been toiling long and hard - often for minutes on end to make this creation so I hope you'll take the time to appreciate it:

    Art is like a mans nipple.

    Seemingly useless, but youd miss it if it wasnt there.

    (On a side note - Anyone recognise the quote?)

    Its Beautifull man! Bold yet sensitive. Hard yet soft. Colourless and odorless yet pungent with the hues of a carcinagenic world. The depth of this piece reflects the artists strife towards a more fullfilled existance for the viewer, a deeper more menaingfull relationship between we, the dark gnomes in bondage, and them, the true creators of catastrophies. Long may Yo Mamma contine his never ending strife. Are we burger? i believe we are!

    I think "House full of cement" was the best art project to win that prize.
