A Virginia school system has suspended an art teacher who they say may be setting a bad example for students with his own extracurricular activity — butt painting.
Stephen Murmer, a self-described "butt-printing artist," was placed on paid administrative leave Friday by Chesterfield County Public Schools, a suburban district of about 60,000 students south of Richmond, Va.
Going by the name Stan Murmur, the teacher sells floral and abstract paintings that he calls "anthropometric monotypes" created by plastering his rump and genitals in paint and pressing them against a canvas. His paintings — depicting tulips, tropical flowers and camouflage — sell online for upwards of $900.
"I am certainly proud of the ass painting," Stan Murmur said "I do have a real job where I do have real clients, and I don't think they'd be too understanding if I was also the guy that painted with my ass."
