Creepy Bush painting...I don't know if you've all seen this one yet.

[Longgrain]

But another Duer, eleonora, recently posted this down in the DU Artists Group and I thought I'd share it all with the rest of you...

It's called "The First 1000" and it's by a fellow named Mark Bryan.



So what do you all think...

[BlueEyedSon]

1. As good as the banned monkey one....

[Longgrain]

4. Of course any image of shrub is creepy...

But the skull one seems to suit him best...

[sabra]

2. That's messed up, but very well done...

[Longgrain]

18. I don't know...

But for some reason it reminds me of Lurch from the Addams family...

(only Lurch was a lot more nicer than the shrub...)

[Redstone]

3. What do I think?

I think that guy has some real talent. Wow.

Too bad nobody could put up a billboard-size version along the Coronation Parade route tomorrow.

[sphmug]

20. damn

[Be Brave]

25. Yes, I'm the pest who bugs you with those

suggestions for the photo contest. Hey, I like another DUer's suggestion that you should give a car to the winner. :)

That creepy Bush picture has a very visceral effect. Very appropriate.

[Longgrain]

26. Maybe free passage to Canada

Should be the grand prize for the next DU photo contest...:)

21. Is This It?

[Longgrain]

22. Yes thank you...N/T

23. So Much Shrub Creepiness to Go Around

It seems that a sculptor/painter, Richard SERRA, copied from Spaniard Francisco GOYA, substituting Shrub's face. GOYA's painting, "Saturn Devouring One of His Sons" was aimed at the repressive Spanish monarchy. Well, Robert NOVAK had a FIT on CNN Friday and again on Saturday.

.... In the Greek version, Kronos (Saturn) also became pregnant, but by swallowing his own children as fast as they were born, having been warned that he would be dethroned by one them just as he had supplanted his own father. His wife, Rhea, somewhat distressed by the loss of the first five, substituted a stone for the next, the storm god Zeus, who was then raised in secret. After liberating his brothers and sisters, Zeus led their rebellion - as they had been reborn, he was now the eldest - and so became king of the gods. ....

DEMON ART

A SHOCKING image of a blood-spattered President Bush devouring a headless child is causing an uproar. The drawing by sculptor Richard Serra, based on a painting by Goya, is being used to promote pleasevote.com, billed as "a call to vote the Bush administration out of office." It appears on the back cover of The Nation's July 5 issue. Ironically, Serra, a past recipient of NEA grants, was once praised by First Lady Laura Bush in a White House press release about one of his pieces at a Texas museum. His "Tilted Arc" once graced (or defaced) Federal Plaza in lower Manhattan until it was destroyed in 1989. Pundit Andrew Sullivan labeled the Bush image "an obscenity" and "simple demonization."

24. Love it!

From what I've heard, Goya actually displayed the original painting you posted above in his dinning room.

Us artist have a bizarre sense of humor...}(
