History Repeats Itself

January 11, 2007 4:45 pm

This is the latest piece by my brother Hunter King.

George Bush.jpg

It’s fine art… That means by hand. Not any of that computer graphic sissy stuff. This is the real deal Holyfield… pencil and paper kind of thing.

It’s called “History Repeats Itself” and is a portrait of Big Dummy… I mean President George Bush. Here’s the kicker… it’s been considered “too controversial” to appear in an art gallery where he has a showing this Friday the 12th. Now, I’m going to stop talking for a minute and let you think and marinate on that for a quick minute……

Hm?… A picture… of our current President… drawn by hand… with no horns, middle fingers or anything disrespectful drawn across his forehead… has been declared “too controversial” to be displayed in an art gallery. An art gallery? Really? They’re all about controversy… But apparently this picture has gone to far? Is that what it’s come too? Our President is too controversial to have a drawing of him hung on a galleries wall…

You can draw your own conclusion as I’ve drawn mine…

Be safe people, it’s a crazy world out there. Wear your helmet… At all times.

That means at the grocery store too.

Bye.
