Excellent concept, technically lousy execution. The guy can't paint. Maybe that's why he has to resort to using dung.

Last year, LoBaido was arrested for hanging a large American flag on an awning outside the French Consulate as a sign of protest for what he considered France's contempt for the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

If the flag don't fit, you must acquit.

Actually, it looks quite good. Can't really tell though without actually seeing the painting or at least a photo that is taken straight on.

What's the controversy? Swing sword, sever head, carry out like fast food order. Where's the controversy in that?

One Osama head to go please..., and could you give me a packet of ketchup to go with that?
