Phillips: America is getting screwed
Bush symbolizes America, and as I see it, its America that is getting screwed, Phillips said about his piece. Bushs face looks very focused. Hes thinking only about his mission to get oil.
Phillips said the figures being crushed beneath the oil barrel represent American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. He added that he views Bush as a naïve and tragic figure.
Phillips said he specializes in landscapes and seascapes but agreed to do the Bush piece because the theme of the show is controversy.
I think as an artist, I should have a voice, Phillips said. Art is about the only voice we have now.

Or maybe Hillary on her back with a 'cast your vote here' sign (and cloud of flies) and a line of dems (holding their noses in boxers) resembling some topics from howard sterns show.
really.. they wage the propaganda war everyday using 'satire' comics in newspapers around the country. Why not start making a few leaning the other way?

or have HDean catching for Hillary the pitcher... with the caption 'Heee-raaaw' of course
or the statue of liberty (with Ms. New York sash) all dishovelled in bed and HRC walking out the door with the WH just outside the door. Caption 'Was it good for you? Maybe a bit of ice will help...'
I can do better, what if the guy was Barney Frank, and on the side John Kerry was checking out her bank account.
More liberal cheap shots at Bush. Wonder if SCOTUS would think it was art if someone did a painting of the Justices having an orgy?
If this guy REALLY wanted shock value, he missed the boat. He should have had Bush sodomizing an Arab reading the Koran, in a toilet.
Then he could have had riots in the middle east into the bargain. And the NY Times would have run 100 front page stories on it.
The problem is not knowing when and where these art shows and offensive works are going to be displayed (so that they can be protested) until after the deed is done.... I'm glad I wasn't walking thru the exhibit and saw rthat thing hanging there...I would have ripped it to shreds...damn the consequences!
The way the court has been ruling lately, Judge Ginsberg may have been giving a few of the oldsters a tickle or two!
Seems like Arabs would be offended by the suggestion that they are engaging in gay sex, huh?
This guy is a so-called artist looking for attention and he's found it. Couldn't apparently get it with his talent.
I just sent the art guild an email protesting this display. I told them this was nothing more than sewage and that perhaps someone should bring in a bucket of raw sewage and dump it on the floor so everyone could enjoy
'art' up close and personal if they wanted.
More FL news....
I can't stand it anymore. I have to say something.
Your red quotation line has an extra "and" in it - it'd flow better, and be an actual sentence, if you removed the "and" from before "Fox News."
(BTW, I have good money says 99.9% of people on this board have no freakin' idea who Denny Crane is. I know I don't.)
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The militant gays don't care about using taxpayer money against taxpayer beliefs and the Constitution--any more than gun-grabbing crooks try to grab the guns from law enforcement officers for use against the officers.
Basically it's the same, by the same kind of people--those committed to evil--who will not be stopped by mere scoldings, these are people without true conscience or the fear of God despite any selective "tolerance" or duplicitious piety.
Thanks for the post and ping.
bump - maybe an image of the art to help educate and energize? Where is the source and how can we verify this is tax dollar funded?
