I actually thought the portrait-part of the Obama portrait was extremely well done. I just couldn’t figure out why such a talented artist would put a President’s figure in the silly setting that he did.
Both paintings are ok, but they’re pop art. Michelle looks white, I’m surprised no one is saying that.
He should have put the sperm in his mouth, not his forehead. Accuracy, you know.
And a theory to explain the gimmick.
One artist's gimmick is making the model's clothing more alive than the model.
The other artist's gimmick is making wallpaper the background for everything.
It's kind of a crutch, isn't it?
They guy could do very good paintings, but it's easier to use wallpaper patterns than to paint real background scenes.
He must have a theory that convinces people that there's some deep reason for painting the way he does.
Best description I read (here on FR) was “Caribbean street art.”
Nailed it.
“I just couldn’t figure out why such a talented artist would put a President’s figure in the silly setting that he did.”
He looks like he’s on, ‘The Throne.’ All he needs is a newspaper or magazine in his hand!
Ridiculous!
The work he does with photoshop and Chinese painters is great. /sarc
...a talented artist would put a President’s figure in the silly setting that he did...
Talented artist? Huh? An extra finger on Zer0’s left hand?
A disturbing thingy on his left temple. Sitting in a Briar patch? Done by an “artist”who is famous for paintings with black women holding white womens’ decapitated heads. The only “thing” missing is Moochelles man bulge.
This is one of the strangest displays ever put forth by the Democrat party. They must have been.painted in San Francisco.
You are correct. Obama looks like a pansy among all that teal foliage.
So well done that the artist gave him an extra finger and freakishly large hands.
