An artist from...wait for it...San Francisco has painted herself getting boned by a variety of dead presidents. The fellatio shot with Honest Abe was a real winner in my opinion. Here's how she describes her artwork which appeared at a Stanford student gallery a couple years back. From Justine Lai's bio:
I am interested in humanizing and demythologizing (sic) the Presidents by addressing their public legacies and private lives. The presidency itself is a seemingly immortal and impenetrable institution; by inserting myself in its timeline, I attempt to locate something intimate and mortal. I use this intimacy to subvert authority, but it demands that I make myself vulnerable along with the Presidents.David Thompson called the young artist egomaniacal for such a lewd display, and her parents must be really proud they shelled out $30K+ per year in tuition at expensive Stanford. What is it with modern artists and their obsession with fucking the President (don't forget to see this other website entitled "44 Presidents Coming" for Grover Cleavland money shots).

I find it texturally deep, intellectually stimulating and provocative as well as a demonstration of talent in artistic rendering.
You can say the same for the "Debbie does Dallas...again" series.
I wonder what her position will be on Bush H and Bush W?
Ryan's Girl,
We will have to agree to disagree. While you find the art provocative, I find it rather self-serving that she would cast herself doing it with presidents. I don't even find it that offensive, just silly. But, again, I'm hardly an art critic, just thought the pieces would be fun to share.
More correctly entitled, "Fellating Living Representations of Dead Presidents." Icky and tasteless, but necrophilia would be even ickier.
I find it tasteless and demeaning.
Getting spanked by Grant. I think that one takes the cake.
Sniper,
You are one sick pup! :)
