Content creator and entrepreneur Boss Toyo, whose real name is Jayson Jay Luzadas, is once again trending online — this time for an unconventional art piece made from his own collected mucus.
On Facebook, Luzadas uploaded a photo of a canvas containing what he described as his own “kulangot,” calling it: “My one of one canvass piece.”
He added: “A hundred K” and later declared: “Bidding starts at 100k.”
Explaining the concept behind the piece, Luzadas wrote: “Sinimulan ko tong obra na to dahil laging puno ang aking ilong at sinubukan na gumawa ng isang obra maestro na art work.”
He further emphasized the uniqueness of the piece: “Eto ay kakaiba at ito ay galing sa akin lahat.”
The bidding runs until March 1, with Luzadas announcing that: “proceeds will be donated on a charitu institution.”
Despite the unusual medium, several personalities have already placed competitive bids:
- Carl Quion – ₱260,000
- John Ferrer of Hypebits – ₱200,000
- Pio Balbuena of Tambay – ₱210,000
- Habibi Sami of ForeignGerms – ₱250,000
- Jed Manalang of MCars – ₱280,000
More bidders have reportedly joined, and observers are watching how high the price will climb before the March 1 deadline.
While the piece has raised eyebrows, mucus-based art is not entirely unprecedented. From 2002 to 2004, British artist James Ford reportedly collected his own nasal discharge in an eggcup, eventually forming it into a ball roughly the size of an egg. The work was displayed in a glass case, accompanied by a printed narrative explaining that mucus — composed largely of dust and skin cells — served as a physical record of the environments and people encountered by the artist.
Luzadas’ latest stunt aligns with his flair for attention-grabbing concepts. An out-of-school youth in his early years, he relied on grit and hands-on learning, moving from one venture to another without a formal business plan. Over time, he evolved into a rapper, entrepreneur, influencer, and brand ambassador.
Among his most visible ventures is the Pinoy Pawn Stars Museum, an extension of his hit YouTube series. What began in a rented Quezon City space has grown into a permanent two-floor, 600-square-meter gallery housing more than 1,000 items — from celebrity memorabilia to historical artifacts celebrating Filipino achievements.
