I wonder if he's an impressionist?

If he painted a self portrait, would he paint himself a pig?

According to Xenophanes of Colophon (6th/5th century B.C.),

If cows and horses or lions had hands, or could draw with their hands and make the things which men can, then horses would draw pictures of gods like horses, and cows like cows, and they would make bodies in just the form which each of them has itself.

Maybe someone should ask the pig to draw some pictures of his gods...I suppose one would ask in Pig Latin.

Just guessing, but I suspect this pig is not a Muslim, and ...I bet thye won't have this art show in Nigeria.

(Can you imagine the riots if this pig drew a picture of Allah and it looked like the artist?)

I think this picture is a construct of the Ad Council trying to define the federal budget...or Jerry Nadler.
