I pit anyone that would hang this painting in their house.

roofing nails

It looks to me like Bush is holding Bin Ladens head aloft by grabbing the turban, how does that work then ?

Surely the head would fall away leaving just the turban

Let’s try this again… and the jeopardy answer is:

What are roofing nails?

@SpectBrain

What are roofing nails?

Nails made from galvaninzed material so as not to rust; with a large, thin flat head that seals against the tur…er, shingle so that it will not easily pull away.

There are many uses for super glue…

Is that black smear under his supposed to be there? There’s a print of the painting on a book I have where his face is unmarked.

If memory serves, the painting was defaced by the GIs who first found it at the end of the war. The book you have may contain a plate from before then.

Say what you will about the art, I think it’s hideous and without even a modicum of style, but I’d put down money that it would be hanging in US military barracks around the world if it came in prints.

Hell’s broke, it could be in biker bars.

I used to hope that at one of the press conferences Powell would bring Bush a duffel bag, Bush would reach in and hold Bin Ladin’s head up by the greasy hair.
Ah, well.

Hell, I might even vote for him if he did that. Because that would be so freaking cool.

Maybe it’s not actually Bin Laden’s head. Maybe it’s a mask and it was really Old Man Cruthers from the Al Qaeda funhouse.

Would it be ok to have the painting in my house if it were used solely as a dartboard?

Interestingly, the only other works of his I can find online are a Dali pastiche, and a site-specific item in Staten Island. He’s got the ability to create interesting pieces, so why the hell has he resorted to an artistically-repressed, politically-ignorant, religiously-insensitive piece to demonstrate his ‘patriotism’?

Maybe because they pay cash?

At first I thought this guy was trying to pull some sort of Jeffrey Koons type of kitsch-as-fine art stunt, but after reading his bio I came to the conclusion that the man really is as foolish and inept as his painting suggests.

It makes this look like a Rembrandt.

Oooh! I’d buy that.

Can I get one with “The Rock” as the Scorpion King as a pair? Hang ‘em both above my bed for some sweet, sweet dreamin’.

According to today’s New York Times, the LoBaido painting was sold last week, by a SoHo gallery, for 2,800 simoleons.
