I don't know if he's selling copies or what. You could probably find him in NYC somewhere. Or you could contact the gallery that's mentioned in the caption.

Here's a link to the earlier FR thread about it:

ARTIST PROMOTES 'PATRIOT' WORK IN N.Y. (Nice painting of Bush!)

From the article, his exhibit ends today, the 20th. Wonder if he sold that painting.

I think its a correct assertion that all Catholic (not cafeteria Catholics) should be offended.

First of all, that was not what was asserted. The claims was that "All Catholics are offended." That is certainly false.

Secondly, I disagree that all Catholics should be offended. I think the artwork communicates the absurdity of the veneration that Bill Clinton receives from so many in the Democratic Party. To those with the sense of humor to see it in this way they would appreciate it not as a slap against our Savior but rather against Bill Clinton.

Finally I would suggest that anyone who is truly offended consider by the artwork itself, and not by the ulterior motives of the artist behind it, should question whether or not they are participating in a form of idolatry. It is true, after all, that the image of the Sacred Heart is a product of human hands and has no divine sanction. It represents something sacred, yes, but it is not sacred in itself.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus has brought calm, peace, serenity and HOPE to millions of people. His very name is AWESOME to those who believe. The Catholic Church has been attacked over the centuries by people like this artist, in an attempt to destroy the church, and all Christianity. If they should succeed, this country and the world is in big trouble.

If his picture had been of an Afro-American, a Muslim, etc. the MSM would be screaming their heads off.

This is sacrilegious. The only thing sacred to Clintoon is his pe#!$.

Oops. Typo.

I feel like if someone who looks like Jesus looked were to walk up to the window of a modern American Christian's car and ask for food, shelter, help or compassion, they would receive less than what Jesus would hope they would give.

What this creepazoid forgets is that Jesus looked every inch an upstanding, Orthodox Jew, in an Orthodox Jewish society of 2,000 years ago.

Anyone looking like that now, in American society IS a frightening, freakish, oddball, at best.

A lot of what this vegitarian "Catholic" says betrays his total lack of understanding of Christian and Biblical teachings, principles, or values. It is only matched by his ignorance of the Constitution, and American international diplomacy, politics, or values; nor, and ignorance of just what America is facing and why.

I'm Catholic and I'm offended but then again any image of Clinton offends me.

[Hank Rearden]

Funny; he doesn't look like a rapist in that picture.
