At least it looks like a small bit from that painting. No, brains racked and no result. I do remember that syphilis is humanly portrayed in it. Maybe I imagined it. |

13 Jul 05 - 01:47 PM (#1521212) Subject: RE: BS: Portrait I call 'the smirk' From: Donuel Thanks but Bobert is correct. The Mussolini like smirk was not achieved. The smug frown was changed to a grin of sorts. I stole Michelangelo's Cistine Chapel ceiling painting of God reaching out to man and placed one outside each of W's ears. "from Bush's ears to God's hand" There is a huge skull looking out from this poster which one might not notice. I've edited this same picture 4 times over 2 years and still have more changes to do. If this were done in oils it might be considered art but since it is done with photoshop overlays and smearing techniques it remains culturally in the same catagory as an Elvis on black velvet. |
