Someone needs to tell the painter that his title “One Nation Under Socialism” is referring to a document (“The Pledge of Allegiance”) written by a socialist - Francis Bellamy.
What a lousy artist. Can’t even paint a close resemblance to Whitney Houston.
Although, he should have kept the original German title (Deutschland erwache) for this one.
If they come out with a version on black velvet, sign me up!
I prefer “One Nation under Cthulhu” ![]()
Meh, it’d be better if he were grabbing his nuts.
I love the expression on Satan’s face in this one. He’s all :eek:
Talk about one trick ponies.
…and now I’m picturing a ponified parody, with the “damned” side standing around on the moon.
Wait, what what?
Dammit. Someone already ninjaed my parody concept.
(puts down wacom pen, quits photoshop)
With the pony setting fire to the Constitution?
McNaughton’s good but he’s no Jason Heuser.
Finally something for my Facebook Timeline photo.
Ok no disrespect meant to anyone of religious belief but am I the only one who finds this image seriously creepy.
Why ironically?
Nah, I’m picturing the kid poking the Constitution being replaced by Spike, so it would be burning with dragon fire while Celestia held it.
That’s freakin’ hilarious. I especially like the one of Abraham Lincoln as Neo from “The Matrix.”
I don;t know if anyone else noticed, but Jon McNaughton’s imagery in some of the more overtly religious sections (“Church History” in particular) is Mormon/LDS. Just for what relevance that may be to the issues here…
He states in one of those pictures that he’s Mormon. It’s the one with Jesus Christ on the cross and all the religious figures all around him. Joseph Smith (founder of LDS) is among them and if you scroll over, McNaughton says in that blurb that he’s LDS.
information for the painting “Wake Up America”
“Every man, woman and child in America is enslaved to our national debt.”
two clicks later is where you fill in your credit card information.
He has a whole series of paintings on LDS temples. All his work, some of it quite nice I would say, breathes Mormon.
But what I can’t understand is what Christians, of all people, would have against socialism. Christ himself is very much a Socialist (avant la lettre).
I mean the rich can’t enter heaven, everyone was socially equal to him, everything was shared, no posessions etc…
Do they see socialists as competitors or something?
