Not Bad Paintings Of Barack Obama

Not bad paintings of Barack Obama, a not bad likness

The first of two not bad paintings of Barack Obama that I've posted for auction on Ebay. By the way, I'm not included in the infamous http://www.badpaintingsofbarackobama.com, although in discussions of the site someone will usually post or cite one of my paintings.

Not A Bad Likeness Of Barack Obama - Ebay Art Auction

Chris gave a concert over the weekend at Redeemer Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, and her performance was taped by SCC Public Access On Location Channel 19. If you live in the North St. Paul area you may wish to check out her hour broadcast, which will be televised tonight though April 1st. I'll post a copy of the performance sometime after we receive a copy from the station.

Gallery Of Unfinished Paintings

Thanks to Gawker for posting the recent Rush The Hut painting.

I'm having a problem finishing things lately.



Started this a few hours to ago to replace the first Angelina Jolie/Octomom, which was meant to be the next painting in the Gawker series. That painting is unfinished, probably permanently so. This much better reboot just isn't done yet.



A Star Wars themed Rush/Palin/Steele in the style of Renoir. It just got too wet to work with.

Unfinished Fleshbot painting NSFW

This is all about circles. Taint is blowing a smoke shaped pancake.



A new adoration chapel painting. I need to reconcile the more expressionist painting of the robe with the softer portrait.



Adoration Chapel Mary. Also painted from a statue. Good start.



I tried two St. Patrick's Day paintings, but they both floundered. Here's a St. Patrick in the style of a recent Padre Pio. Save-able, but I need to let it dry first and lay a wash over the entire painting. Let's call this a developed underpainting.



Nude baby Obama on a baby unicorn.



I was about to post this on Ebay but realized after scanning the painting that I had gotten one eye too close to the nose, a bad habit I've become more aware of. Fixable. I think I'll add more detail to the skin tone when doing so.



Madchen the cat, who appears in my video.



An avatar in progress for a fellow Goon at SA named Dixie Cretin Seaman.



I started this as a commission for someone about a month ago, but after he realized he couldn't afford it I decided to do it for him at a better price. I think I could finish this in a half a day, if I could find one!

Obama: The Roaring Sea, Restored

By request of the purchaser, I've restored my painting titled Obama: The Roaring Sea to its original glory.

Barack Obama, no underwear

The auctioned version featured Obama wearing a pair of underwear, in addition to original campaign logos over his nipples. The restored version is a combination of newer painting by necessity and newly visible underpainting.

Thank You, Onideus Mad Matter

If you have some time check out the works of Dan Lacey. His recent works include political pancake nudity! LOL

He's also the author of the comic Faithmouse and came up with the character Neverborn. Once a die hard right winger he's since moved more toward the middle after being turned off by the stupidity and ignorance of those he had aligned himself with. In doing so he gained immense popularity in some communities whilst others turned on him. But whatever your political position is you can't ignore great art and that's what Dan is all about.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.2600/browse_thread/thread/80984cd36da2585e

I appreciate this, especially as I have a nemesis cartoonist (even though I've pretty much stopped drawing cartoons) from the Twin Cities area, who is repeatedly posting threads on boards claiming that I am a secret Theocrat, which is about as true as my being a Monarcist.

Politics repel me. I can only handle the subject as absurdist fantasy, so perhaps that's why some people enjoy my paintings.



The first of the Gawker paintings, in progress. I'm calling this one 'Rush The Hut.'

Paintings, Paintings

paintings, paintings

The first two Gawker request thread paintings in progress. It helps to start them as acrylics. I've taken the liberty of having Octomom crucified on the State Of California instead of a cross.

Anyway, painting. Maybe I'll have these both done tonight.

Gawker Contest Finalists

The selections are in on the Gawker Vote on Your Pancake Painting of the Future! contest. I've decided to just go ahead and paint all of them, starting at the top of the list and working my way down. Purim will come around again.

Purim O Corn, In Progress

Barack

A new painting in progress of Barack Obama nude on a unicorn in celebration of Purim. Should have this completed late this evening, along with a few new Barack Obama portrait paintings.



The doorbell which is very loud wakes me up this morning, but my wife who is in the laundry room doesn't hear it. At the door is a roly-poly older Jehovah's Witness in a suit, and I very politely accept a copy of 'WHAT DOES THE BIBLE Really TEACH?' which doesn't bother me because I'm sort of interested. I feel a little bad about not letting him in, but I don't know him.

I go into the kitchen still naked with my new book and my wife says she'd like to do something for St. Patrick's Day this year. I'm immediately struck with an image of a nude leprechaun Obama on a unicorn, and check the calender. I could paint something this afternoon or tomorrow and have the auction end in seven days on St. Patrick's Day itself, but then I recall having seen a few plays on the term 'Barack O'Bama' online, decide the idea is too cutesy and lose interest. Then I notice from the calendar that tomorrow is Purim.

So I sit in front of the computer with my coffee and cranberry juice and draw Obama on a unicorn on an 8 by 10 inch sheet of canvas celebrating Purim. It will be rad. Then I realize that many people are anti-semetic, and perhaps they would view Obama's naked butt being in the same painting as the Star Of David as an obtuse slur upon the proud nation of Israel. Perhaps they will come to the conclusion that I am a supporter of Hamas, which I am not. So I erase the Star Of David and sketch the Obama cereal box logo on there instead, but the grogger in Obama's hand isn't enough to create an association with the Jewish Holy Day, so I replace the Star and draw Obama with a 'King David' style skirt. This seems good.

I scan the drawing and post it to my blog, and then I take the canvas down to my studio to paint, and decide that I can't do this right now; I need to mail off a number of these finished paintings laying all over the floor before people start to get mad at me. Also, my Sear's bill is due.

Three Obama Paintings

Managed to finish three new Obama portraits on Sunday, posted early Monday morning.

Obama Hopeful and Determined Painting- Ebay Art Auction

While at the Minneapolis Institute of Art a few weeks ago I took a very long look at Rembrandt's 1666 Lucretia. I wish I had done that earlier. Up close the painting surface is dismayingly ugly. It looks like a house painter's rag.

I've always had the idea that the surface of a canvas must be beautiful at any distance. I've tried since then to convince myself that Rembrandt's surface was attractive, and I just wasn't appreciating it. But it wasn't, and I haven't. From a foot away Lucretia looks like crap. Step back, and it's an amazing painting. The place where this transition happens is when the painting ceases to be seen as a physical object and instead implants itself as an idea.

Thinking about this saved the middle painting of the three posted above. I was very close to thrashing it when I thought of Lucretia (1666) and guessed I was being too precious with my lovely paint surface. So I forced the paint to do what I wanted, not caring about it's own integrity, and the painting became an image.

John Odom Baseball Card

Minor league pitcher John Odom baseball card painting, with ten bats and the inscription 'Poena Pax Sapientia'

An 8 by 10 inch oil painting on sheet canvas of John Odom, the minor league pitcher who was traded to another team in exchange for ten bats and who died of an accidental drug overdose six months later after an election night party with friends. The painting is in the form of a baseball card. John Odom had a tattoo on his arm which read 'Poena Par Sapientia' which translates from the latin as Pain Equals Wisdom ('poena' in the original latin definition of pain as divine retribution for ill behavior)-I've written this instead as Pain Peace (Pax) Wisdom. John played for a farm team belonging to the San Francisco Giants organization, so I've gone ahead and given him that cap.

A tragic end for minor leaguer traded for bats - Google News

Gawker Contest

Thanks to Gawker, which is conducting a suggestion contest for a new painting.

Bring Your Crazy Pancake Painting Idea to Life! - Gawker

What Gawker is doing here is presenting a version of the artist suggestion thread, a recurring and long-time bulletin board mainstay. I've contributed to a number of these threads in the past, but the exercise became more difficult when I moved full-time into painting. Faster when you're drawing with a tablet.

Obama Unicorn versus Palin Moose The Final Battle Painting Relisted

My recent The Final Battle painting is currently receiving a resurgence of interest, so I've decided to relist it on Ebay. The painting featured a nude Barack Obama on a unicorn battling a nude Sarah Palin on a moose. It is super rad.

Five Golden Obamas

Barack Obama green

Barack Obama orange

Barack Obama three quarter view

Barack Obama pink

Barack Obama soft

I've been encouraged by the bids on my tight-frame portraits of Barack Obama, so I produced five additional today (Monday) with a sixth nearly ready for prime time but not quite. You can view the individual auctions by visiting the links on the top of this page. As long as people continue to bid on the paintings I'll keep creating them. There are worst ways to spend a day.

All of the images on my blog or in my fan forums are available for posting on individual blogs, forums and sites. Hotlinking is encouraged. A return link is appreciated, but isn't necessary.
