I, Evan Penny, am a famous sculptor, educator, and movie special effects artist. I was born in Elim, South Africa in 1953. I’m Caucasian. I ended up living in Zimbabwe. Then I moved to Chicago, Illinois. I have lived in Toronto, Ontario, Canada since 1988.

My early work involved making sculptures and digital photographs. His work was not photorealism on a three dimensional scale. It was figures but on a much smaller scale.

I am now well known for creating sculptures of human beings. They are huge. Certain sculptures are people I know in real life. They look realistic and detailed. Additionally, they are composed of layers of colour pigmented silicone, hair, fabric and resin. The human sculptures have appeared realistic and distorted. I have had several galleries and museum exhibitions of his work. Numerous works by me have been sold at auctions, including 'L. Faux: Black & White' sold at Sotheby's New York 'Contemporary Art Day Auction' in 2008 for $145,000.

In the 1990s, I created Figures; nude human beings; No one in particular series 1 and 2, Gerry, Self and Self Portrait, Panatioga, Strech/Amamorphs, Murray and Large Murray, Portrait of the Artist As He Was (Not), Portrait of the Artist as he (Not) will be.

The reason I create human beings is because I want people to know how they see each other in real time and space, and in photographs.

Now, I have a whole new project that is completely from what I normally do. I want to create sculptures of parahumans or animal-human hybrids. I believe that these hybrids are an abomination and should not be made.

In the world, scientists have already managed to mix human and animal DNA for health reasons.

-There are mice who have been implanted with (put) to support and nourish neurons in their brain.

-In Minnesota in 2004 researchers at the Mayo Clinic created pigs with human blood flowing through their bodies.

-Chimeras.like mouse with ear on its back

-Rabbit eggs with human cells.

-Sheep with human livers

-Cows with human cells

-Mouse-human liver

-Cat-human proteins

-Chimp-human hybrid, humanzee

They may do so by creating human-animal hybrids or humans will use animal DNA in order to be fit physically. Human cells maturing and interacting in a living creature may lead to discoveries of new medical treatments.

Such experiments have caused controversy, especially with religious people. They fear scientists are trying to play God. They believe that interferes with God’s creation. Even, the Devil could be used as a metaphor for an animal-human hybrid.

I do not want human-animal hybrids roaming the Earth. What if they become uncontrollable? They could fight and kill human beings. Therefore, my art shall be used as a warning to stop all the enhancement and

creation. Due to the realism and huge size, I hope to instill a sense of fear into human beings. I want people to know what it would be like to have these hybrids in existence. Their huge size is a way to show what problems we will face if they are ever made. The sculptures I plan to create will consist of the materials I normally use for my human sculptures. However, since they will be part animal, they will include animal parts like fur, feathers, antlers, and scales.

I plan on making eight huge hybrids first. I pick these hybrids because these abominations will likely be made to help the sick human species.

1. Male humanzee 2. Male pig-human hybrid 3. Female human-mouse hybrid4. Female human-cow hybrid5. Female cat-human hybrid6. Male crow-human hybrid7. Male sheep-human hybrid 8. Female rabbit human hybrid

I request a grant of $15, 000 because I’m an established artist. I’ve been a professional artist for more than 15 years. The human race must be aware of these animal-human hybrids so we can stop them from being made.

Sincerely,

Evan Penny
