As an undiscovered artist, he is better situated than most: living in a rented, 2,000-square-foot house in the Hollywood Hills off Mulholland Drive, with a Porsche Panamera in the driveway, plenty of natural light and a pool house he has transformed into an art studio.
From the edge of the sloping property it was leased for $12,000 a month starting last June 15, according to the homeowner he has a view onto the San Fernando Valley below: Burbank and Universal Studios to the east, the 405 freeway to the west.
For years, vodka and cocaine were constant companions. Mr. Biden has talked often of facing the twin demons of addiction and personal loss. His mother Neilia and sister Naomi died in a 1972 car wreck, in which 2-year-old Hunter suffered a severe head injury.
Later, as he looked to escape temptations, the painting became therapeutic, he said. So did writing poems and short stories (he was accepted into Syracuse Universitys creative writing program in 1993, but chose law school). Recently, he said, he has been writing letters to his deceased brother Beau, who succumbed to brain cancer in 2015, a loss that sent Mr. Biden off on a four year nightmare.

Wasn't that the same time he separated from his wife and started banging his sister-in-law? That's not a nightmare dude, that's taboo. You're a sick f*ck!

Just when you think that that the pro-Biden propaganda couldn’t get thicker, they come out with this. Unbelievable.

That blue painting behind his right shoulder looks like a map of covid infecting a global network.

Of course not. Re read my post. He is a loser. His father didn’t practice tough love.
Trump was impeached for Biden’s crimes.

"there's a new artist in town"
Big deal. Artists are not a rare breed of tortured or uniquely inspired souls, but everyday people like you and me. I have created some fairly decent art, and so has one of my daughters. I know several excellent amateur/semi-pro musicians, and I've known several excellent painters and sketchers, all of them unknown. Back in the day, some friends of mine and I wrote poetry, and I still have copies; some have stood the test of time.
One lost weekend many years ago, I spent a night in a trailer park with a woman from Mississippi, and as her pet ferret sat on my shoulder, she read me some of her poems. I know a little bit about poetry, and they were actually pretty good.

Hunter has an advantage the normal “starving artist” does not.
He can run a variation of the Baltimore Mayor “book scam” where he “sells” his “art” to “donors” who are actually paying bribes to Joe—with Hunter as the bagman.
This is an _old_ scam—generally works reasonably well.

Yep, when I saw $300,000 per painting, my first thought was money laundering.

His rental overlooks the porn capitol of the world. Very fitting location. Does he make movies too?

But nobody said a bad vord about Winston Churchill, did they? Oh no, Vin Vit Vinnie! Churchill, vit his cigars, vit his brandy and his rotten paintings, rotten! Hitler, there was a painter. He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon two coats! Churchill . . . he couldnt even say Nazi. He would say Narzis, Narzis. Ve vere not Narzies, ve vere Nazis. But let me tell this, and youre getting it straight from the horse, Hitler vas better looking than Churchill, he vas a better dresser than Churchill, had more hair, told funnier jokes, and could dance the pants off Churchill!

Gee, you sound skeptical about the artistic prowess of ol’ Hunter. I hear that he is a crack painter.
