I just realized that the featured painting on that site changes every time you click. (I went back to check the tutu which I did not remember.
The last click revealed a picture of The First Wookie wearing nothing but bananas.
Brain bleach time!

His life ended in a shoot out with the police.He was finally convicted and executed.
So which was it? Killed in a shoot-out, or convicted and executed?

That is why he was zotted from here.

Well, I mean that the story ends with a shoot out. He somehow missed getting shot, but all of the men in his gang were killed.
Then, later he was convicted of murder and robbery and executed.
People are sympathetic to Ned Kelly because he was apparently forced to fight the authorities because of how poorly his people were being treated.
The police even took custody of his mother, who did nothing wrong, just to try to get him. She was held in a terrible prison. It was outrageous.
His fightesy character embodies many Aussie values. That is why the painting sold for so much.

The Mick Jagger movie is a weak interpretation in the genre. Ned didn't look or act like Jagger at all. Skip it. The new version is really good, however.

Oh I remember that.
Something to do with Michael Jackson..
His blog links to this very thread. Obviously he likes the attention and monitors FR and DU to find comments about his ‘art’.
As an aside, I could paint some piece of crap that looks like a kid did it. I wonder if someone would pay me millions for it.

Hey, the first pic in #22 was changed. That was the most disturbing painting I’ve ever seen.

I wouldn’t pay a penny over $4 million for that. A 6 year old could do better.

It was just a visual joke.
Frankly, I couldn’t even make it all the way through that movie.

“Obviously he likes the attention and monitors FR and DU to find comments about his ‘art’.”
And so here we find the ultimate epitome of “pathetic”.
