new medium: barack and oil on canvas

The other day I felt the need to engage in some form of artistic expression, and so I turned to our young president for inspiration. 2 weeks and $300 dollars in art supplies later, I was ready to unveil the following...


Yes I know it deserves an audience. It's covered. Dines is getting me into Gallery 1988 as the front window display.

Ok I didn't paint it, but I DID recently come across this taste-maker's collection
http://badpaintingsofbarackobama.com/ and I find myself going back to it on the regular. Initially for amusement, I've become enamored with looking at the way in which these artists see our President...and in some cases show how Obama is a shoe-in to be the face of their cult (one seems to be a pamphlet cover for some new dianetics material). Still, there's an interesting dialogue to be found in the awkward context and often poor quality of these eclectic doodles of "Eagle One." So please, take your time.
