He is the jungle overwhelming the Tikal of Zippy's little empire.

Could you get Obama to lift his left hand. I'd like to count fingers.

edutcher said...

Some people say he has a tan line where his wedding ring should be.

That picture would be improved with Obama wearing orange.

The Orange Tauntflower is an invasive species in the swamp and is doing irreparable damage to the environment!

His hands are huge. That's no accident.

AllenS said...

My oh my you have such large hands.

Better to hold all of the extra fingers with.

You're right! He actually has delicate lady hands. Those hands are huge and rough.

I've been reading all over this artist painted pictures of black women holding the severed head of a white women. I saw two and they're just terrible.

These two, antagonistic to the bitter end.

Another website has an array of photos in the gallery displayed as a grid. They're all gravely serious then BLAM bright green. It stick out like a ridiculous sore thumb throbbing in and pulsating in sore displacement. Like some freak dropped into something somber. A joker among serious minded people. It's awful.

His people will like it no matter what. The distinctiveness will please them. They'll make no connection between him and the reason for being given Trump. Not as punishment, rather, as corrective, to him but even more so to the Republican Party, first and foremost to all GOPe, still resistant to receiving their lesson delivered so swiftly and clearly.

The hashtag #Obamaportraits has a lot of Photoshops and also a lot of pathetic fawning.

Imagine all the photoshops like this on not added to their hashtag.

Some background on said "artist".

I leave it to all and sundry on the reasons Zippy chose him.

ricpic said...

Neither one of the artists who painted the two portraits has a color sense. Not joking and no pun intended, both paintings are painfully without any feeling for color whatsoever. This almost always happens in the work of "political" artists. If you look back at the stuff produced in carload lots during the Great Depression by New Deal (communist) artists it is almost without exception lacking in color sensuality. Never trust an artist with something to say.

It exemplifies what Obama tried the hardest to do- kill America's longstanding cultures and traditions. His picture will look ridiculous among the other presidents' portraits. Viewers will never stop exclaiming "WTF?!".

Neither one of them has ever shown any artistic ability or taste so they are lot like me. Yet, they tried to be different and failed miserably with Barack's choice [I have no problem with Michele's choice].

Hitler was a painter, not a good one but at least he had technique. It has been pointed out (I saw it on that episode of "Justified" which reminded me that I also read something about this earlier in life) that he had almost no interest in the people in his paintings, And it showed. The people in the Hitler paintings are more dauby and much less complex than the architecture which is rendered in great detail and with great care. No shit, that does make sense in retrospect! Parallel the Hitler paintings to these presidential portrait excresences which, at least in the case of the modern day Madame DeFarge of the beheadings paintings, are expressly, openly, proudly racist. The racist has an aesthetic, one that makes the racist look good and everyone else look sad and pathetic. (See, the beheadings paintings, SS uniforms, etc.) Also, like Hitler, these two artists are not so much interested in the persons they are painting but in what those people represent. And it shows.

Dolf's big problem was people. He couldn't draw them worth anything.

The landscapes were better, but more like what a draftsman or an engineer (or spy, TE Lawrence's drawing of Middle East forts look like them) would do.

Those are Michelle's manhands.
