Get back atcha
A psychosis masquerading as an aesthetic.
All that talent, yet in the grasp of the Evil One. Prayers up.

Is there a piece of “art” depicting him assassinating mohamhead?
Didn’t think so...
Art has devolved to become intentionally ugly and perverse, in so many places, instead of beautiful or commemorative of an event. Prayers sent for Pope Benedict!
