Sad Hunter Biden Wondering Why No One Buying His Paintings Anymore
Babylon Bee ^ | Jan 22, 2025 | Babylon Bee

Hunter Biden looked visibly troubled this week as sales for his paintings plummeted by approximately 100%.

"You said these were masterpieces!" cried a forlorn Hunter Biden to his handler. "How come all of a sudden no one wants my colored glass blocks that I put in a little spiral? I worked so hard on this."

Art director Stefan Wilminstein, who reportedly discovered how much attention Biden's work was getting among foreign leaders, says that Biden's career is likely finished. "Zero sales in the last week. We used to get billions of dollars from art lovers all over Ukraine and China. Now, nothing. I just don't understand it."

According to sources, Biden has fallen into a deep depression and begun lamenting his life as a tortured artist. "Oh, I am slain!" Biden said during a particular soliloquy. "Shall I only find fame in death like the great ones of old? Oh! But the colors! I put colors on the canvas and yet the world is color blind! My life is over!"

All future exhibitions of Biden's work have been canceled. The Georges Bergès Gallery, which previously presented his work, was unable to comment on the art's sudden depreciation because the gallery's director was on vacation in Ukraine, a place he calls "the Hawaii of the east."

At publishing time, Hunter Biden had announced that he was going to give up cocaine until he sold another piece of his art.

I wondered why (rhetorical) anyone ever bought them.

He should cut off both his ears to make a point.

My suggestion is try dying, and that often makes the price of your artwork go back up again

I see an insurance fraud case in the making.
Supposedly, some of Snowman Biden’s “masterpieces” were lost in the fires.
Wait til he submits a claim for hundreds of millions lost. He probably doesn’t realize he has to show appraisals.

To PAINT, or not to PAINT, that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of MY SINs,
Or to take arms against a sea of a NOW HONEST JUDICIARY.
And by opposing end them. To die—to NAY ONE LINE OF COKE,
No more. and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: ‘tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, WHERE IN THE HELL IS MY BOTTLE OF SLEEPING PILLS AND COKE PIPE?

My apologies to William Shakespeare.

I heard they all burned up in the Malibu fire. All that work and poof! Just gone up in smoke! But hey, they were insured for many millions, right?

Hey, where was Hunter when the fire started? Now that’s a thought for investigation.

Hunter has probably already put in for a 500 million dollar insurance claim for his burned up paintings.
