Shouldn't it be a family portrait of his father, his cousin Bill and his adopted brother Barry?
You don't have to have a permit to STEAL a tree.....take it from there...
Portrait of the War President. A mosaic of all the people his lies killed.

BRILLIANT.
in my lovely suburb of NW Chicago you can no longer cut trees on your own property without securing a permit from the city. It could be worse I guess because in the much more affluent suburb where number 2 son in law works you cannot cut down a tree on your own property without first securing a permit AND paying for said permit. Who would have ever thought that government could get so out of hand and domineering as to dictate to a homeowner if and when and how much they would pay for the privelage of cutting down a tree on their own property? America, I hardly knew ya! So sad.
copper nails.
And here I was thinking he would be too busy clearing scrub on his "ranch" to have time to paint shit.
Or was that just a Karl Rove ploy to make people think he was "the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with".*
* Don't worry, I already know the answer to that.
Leaving aside any art-related comments, the only time I want to see pictures of or read about ex-presidents and their relatives is on the obituary page of the newspaper. And since I don't read newspapers any longer...
Well you see, I would just assume ignore this moron as well. However, inasmuch as the mainstream media is now puffing his latest calling as a neocon artiste, I feel obligated...
Yep, the 'press' did the same with John Wayne Gacy's 'art' though it would be interesting if gw has painted any portraits of clowns.
I'm neither a fan nor hater of Bush. But that picture is a fuckin' riot. Well done WB.
Banality of Evil? Heh. It may have been banal from the giving side but I'm pretty sure it was not banal on the getting end. Ever.
In a fair&just world a cunt like bubba would have all the time to paint on death row where he would spend just a long enough time to reflect on his war crimes before hanging.
I for one would pay over the odds for a front row seat and perhaps undertake my first ever sketch capturing the bulging eyes through his permanent glazed expression.
An evil genius war criminal mass murderer who painted buildings and shot himself in the head in a bunker to avoid hanging, then an evil moron mass murderer war criminal who paints world leaders and dogs and who is paid to speak in public all to great applause. Truly history has repeated, once as tragedy, once as farce.
Justice like god is now dead.
@Mr Banzi,
Have a look at this site please: Art for Peace.
http://notabugsplat.com/
A new approach.
Ho hum
Thanks, a phrase to remember; lets hope it shakes the world : BUGSPLAT.
what agreat idea...how many more do we need to print and distribute world wide?
Very nice
TY 7.
How about a London Whale shlock huh.
Banker leaps to his death in finance world’s 8th suicide this year

doesn't seem that Bush has taken any lessons on painting, any more than he took lessons on being president. the mans just a natural
begging the question: natural WHAT?
so many possibilities........... none with any positive connotations
Take a look at the beta of the new Banzai7 web site: www.wb7.hk
A fellow ZH low brow has been good enough to help me get this up and running the way I want it to look and function. It is a work in progress so your thoughts will be appreciated. The principle objective is to maximize image viewing access across all device platforms.
I have not migrated my full portfolio into the gallery area yet. Setting up the gallery function is next on the list.
You will notice in keeping with my well known views, there are no ads to be seen.
I hope everyone will appreciate the importance of supporting my non-stop endeavors by acquiring Fine Art Prints.
The banner "Destroy the image and you will break the enemy" is perfect.
Very slick and surprisingly responsive (so far anyway, who knows once the word gets out.) I like the zoom feature too. Would be cool if there was a search function IE: Kim+Jong+Giant+Hat or Bernanke+Dimon+Blankfiend+gullioutine lol... Keep up the good fight!
Eventually, I hope to be able to allow everyone to tag the images.
I hope this site has the necessary bandwith. But you will note the beauty of this right now is I am using flickr to host the live stream. Their capacity my site.
I just blew through an hour on the site, when I am supposed to be getting my trading shit together - the market opens in a little more than 7 hours for me.
I am enjoying you camera work in the city more and more, you have a good eye for composition, and the place looks really interesting - busy and vibrant. But I'm still glad I'm in the woods.
I believe that Bush the Moron's so-called "art"
precisely reflects the totally incoherency
which the former USA imposes on the World and its own peoples,
through its Policies.
Call it the trickle-down effect and here you have a former mindless infantile knuckle-dragger
and
pre-Palaeolithic throwback who was given through theft, the Office of the President
getting the limelight with its fragmented filaments of cognitive dysfunctionality which they term as Art.
No doubt, the whole insane delusion tells of the putrification of fundamental intelligence
that can only be called "The Banality of Evil".
This is precisely how the World views the former Constitutional Republic known as the USA today.
Ho hum
Banality of Evil : coined by Hannah Arendt.
Eichman trial in Jerusalem and the banality of evil : "I was only following instructions."
Oups, I missed to scroll down (or up) its already there! My bad!.
Banality of Evil, I like that.
That makes two this weekend, the other being "shitgums".
The phrase, "The banality of evil" is drawn from the marvelous work of Hannah Arendt in her analysis of the Trial of Adolf Eichmann in Israel,or better, Palestine. M's Arendt went on to author many great works that are all worth reading.
Great work Mr Banzai - Politicians and bureaucrats, in fact all of the establishment elite, don't like being laughed at and also demand respect without having to earn it. Its their very signature. Arrogant insanity and incompetence.
Ho hum
Yes, thank you for reminding me of that. A very insightful work. Banality indeed.
And the expression is very apropos in this context. He started his artistic journey doing kitchy dog portraiture of all things.
Yeah, well...there was not "banal" about Von Monstien and "how he dealt with the Russian Question" on Crimea.
I have been wondering these many days what a "W" self-portrait would indeed look like so your timing is impeccable as always.
All I see is a Texas flag flying in the wind actually.
According to Papa Bush who i greatly admire and respect beyond belief as "he knew how to end a war too" (and truly engage Palestinians and Israeli's for the first...and probably last...time) "his son Jeb was always the better of the two."
Having spent some quality time in Florida...I have some "Texas size doubts" as they might say...although I do love Orlando which is one my favorite Cities in the World.
I used to love...nay, veerily...I still love Chicago. They just suck right now...and quite frankly i'm surprised and disappointed. Are there any Americans left in the State of Illinois or has the whole State been over-run by American Taliban or what? Needless to say "that won't be true in Florida."
Everyone loves Kentucky of course...Louisville, Kentucky is truly a special place. Who would love to "booze hop" down the Bourbon trail just once in their drunken life? And indeed I have and it was well worth the price of admission....and demolition i might add.
We'll see if Rand Paul can really light a fire under Americans who are sick and tired of the two party system and "Clinton v Bush" which has truly decimated the Republic beyond all recognition right now. A campaign slogan of "lets start paying our soldiers in real money" sure sounds good to me.

This war we've got coming is gonna be total smashmouth "World War II" style. Long gone are the days where these conflicts will be played out with the "boyz with toyz." This will be grunt work, boots on the ground, fleets at see.
If the Twentieth Century represent 50 years of war/50 years of peace...the 21st sure seems to be shaping up to be 100 year of Total War.

"no one ever said that war would be over in a few weeks" that's fer sure.
Jean Baudrillard and Umberto Eco wrote some interesting essays on hyperreality. A simulation that takes the place of the real. Take Times Square as just one example. A total simulation that can best be described as busy and hollow. The Disneyfication of America. This is the ultimate globalist task we are witnessing. With social media buttons affixed to everything.
wow, this response to DV's incoherent randomness - high art.
From informationclearinghouse.cc this day:
"With each newly minted crisis, US leaders roll out the same time-tested scenario. They start demonizing a foreign leader ... charging them with being communistic or otherwise dictatorial, dangerously aggressive, power hungry, genocidal, given to terrorism or drug trafficking, ready to deny us access to vital resources, harboring weapons of mass destruction, or just inexplicably "anti-American" and "anti-West." Lacking any information to the contrary, the frightened public ... are swept along." - Michael Parenti
"The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other." Bertrand Russell Freedom, Harcourt Brace, 1940
"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it." Edward Dowling
"It is in the nature of imperialism that citizens of the imperial power are always among the last to know--or care--about circumstances in the colonies." Bertrand Russell Ho humweird link but true.

Dear God,
NO!
Well, the Republic is dead. Oligarchies like to keep the seat of power within 'the family' so we have two Bushes, are likely to get two Clintons so why not another Bush?
Besides, the CIA/NSA has already vetted both families and is guaranteed their cooperation.
there comes a time where/when the personal
has no words. images play in hope, striving
for the realm of the infinite heart.
one could cry resulting in tears and death
of some kind.
there the future pokes its head and is
condemned, crucified if you will or wish.
Iz very funny, name that visual reference.
As much as I dislike a guy who killed about a million innocent people for no reason other than corporate profit and global hegemony, some of these are actually quite good.
Certainly better than his paint-by-number dogs.
You would be very surprised how quickly just about anyone who wants to can get to that level of portraiture.
Drawing from the Right Side of The Brain is the book I recommend to anyone who is interested.
However, making the jump from mundane kitch to something meaningful is a very different exercise. And that is an exercise that must be undertaken if his work is to be seen as anything other than a Presidential novelty. Inevitably you must ask, how do the works of this ex-President stack up in comparison to the output of the broader art community and the answer to that question should be obvious.
Of course one can look at it from a different crtical perspective, comparing his personal aesthetic to the works of other infamous world leaders, Adolf Hitler for example.
Bush Art reminded me that there's a Museum of Bad Art (Art Too Bad To Be Ignored) in Boston:
http://museumofbadart.org/collection/recent.php
I have not been there. But the expression "quality bad art" is something worth pondering.
Remember folks, the establishment, conservative, bible toting republicans have all placed their offspring in 501c3 groups advocating "tax equality" for the GLBT community. Barbara Bush, Megan McCain. Almost makes me think I am in the wrong profession.
Someday William, I'll get it. Untill then Thanks. Please keep doing what you do!
To me, putting 'establishment' and 'conservative' together when talking about Republicans seems as oxymoronic as combining 'wise' and 'fool'.
Some of the most horrific and criminalistic evil ever seen in the history of the Holy Land is done by these drastically wicked zioinists that are hurting, wounding, killing, and stealing the lands of these innocent and defenseless Palestinian People. The international crimes that have gone on for decades in the now un-Holy Lands are reprehensible, and totally unacceptable to a normal decent society. It is no secret that these murders and tortures of children taken without cause and placed in prisons are the most evil things on the planet earth in modern times. There is no amount of propaganda press or paint that can cover up that truth.
Just how does the average American or anyone else in the world stand by and allow this blatant false flag based criminal apartheid nation to continue to commit these international crimes? Palestine must be the State it is and join the UN ASAP so these murderers of unarmed children and women can be taken to the Hague for punishment of these crimes against humanity.
How can anyone continue to justify sending billions of dollars to this country that is owned by the rothschild banksters and is only kept around to be the tool they were created to be in starting the final solution world war? Are they not smart enough to see they will be immediately wiped off the map after they start it? This will also thrust the rest of the world into fighting each other for the bankster agendas of total world domination and a population elimination agenda in which 99.5 % of the world's people will be murdered in a world war for the banksters profits, and elitist glory. How much longer will this kind of pure evil be supported and condoned by the world's people?
How much longer will you send your hard earned tax dollars to the mad-dog nation of puppets owned by the rothschild empire of dust so they can be supported in starting the world war that will eventually kill you?

"It is no secret that these murders and tortures of children taken without cause"
Ah yes, you must be referring to this.
"so these murderers of unarmed children and women can be taken to the Hague for punishment of these crimes against humanity."
I agree. Just in the past 10 years, considering this is a time of peace.
"blatant false flag based criminal apartheid nation"
Yes, who knew even selling land could be a capital offense?
history there was way worse, by far. too late to alter looming fate. the only fights are one sided, and patriots should watch sports and have fun and not pay attention to the changing mess. why stir them up for the assasins to kill?
