Bruce Elliott has painted a nude portrait of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and hung it above the Old Town Ale House, where it's now a prime attraction among his display of more than 200 celebrity portraits and other racy art.
Elliott's wife, Tobin Mitchen, owns the bar on Chicago's North Side,
Palin became Elliott's muse after he saw her on TV.
"I've been following her religiously," he said Monday at the bar. "I had never heard of her before, like everyone else. I find her bizarrely fascinating, even though I pretty much despise everything she stands for."
Despite their political differences, Elliott admits to a bit of a crush on the Alaska governor. He began painting her smile and trademark glasses, he said, before filling in the details: a gun, red high heels, polar bear rug, rugged Alaska landscape and a scared moose. His daughter, who looks a little like Palin and does a great impression of her, served as model for the governor's body

I knew I shouldn’t have read more comments. The dude is beyond help... That’s one sick perv.. Sanitizing the brain here-—
AAAAAGGGGHHHH!
This is disgusting. What a despicable creature.
Why did you post this old ( September 30, 2008) article? Trying to stir up crap?
I thought it was new. As I posted earlier.
Is this the same guy who does the layouts for SouthPark?
Hey, you need a Emanuel Goldstein if you want to have a Two Minute Hate.
Look, I know what some people think of a man who paints a nude picture, using his adult (I presume) daughter’s body. However, this guy probably wiped her ass for the first two or three years of her life, so as long as she’s not underaged, and she consented, I don’t see the problem.
Flame away!
Oh, dear. This man IS a few can short of a sixpack! I take back what I said, in the case of this wacko, and patiently await the lashing with the wet noodle.
Just like kissing your sister hey she has a blouse full of goodies and a great tail but its just wrong
Eww. He made her fat. And, how does he know what she looks like without her clothes? What a dirty old man. The painting is a piece of crap. Look at the feet on that dumb thing. Sheesh. Whatever he is, this guy is no artist. It doesn’t even look like her. How are we supposed to know who it is?
One thing for sure, the canvas he painted the fake picture of Sarah Palan on would not have been nearly wide enough for the empty suit’s wife.
turn it 90 degrees
Whose hips are those?
They brought in the stunt hips for this scene.
That would be enough to make me lose my diner, the only thing that MAY fit would be her butt.
PUKE.
Not a very good job. jmo
“His daughter... served as model for the governor’s body.”
TMI
Did the owner's daughter pose nude for this one as well?
And Barney Fwank has a cute little mustache in that painting too...
