Users on an anonymous image board discovered there appears to be a sperm cell drawn onto Barack Obama's forehead in his official presidential portrait, which now hangs in the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery.
Some may simply discount it as a vein, but oddly enough the artist who painted this portrait, Kehinde Wiley, has a history of adding semen into his art:

Look back now at "Queers in the military".
The best part about the whole thing with these truly awful portraits is that the Obama’s chose him as their artist- and he’s black!
SO - they can’t condemn, object, demand changes - they’re stuck with the worst First Couple paintings EVAH
gotta love it
Don’t see it here - reports of it as faked
It’s fake, folks - dang
Here’s a closeup of original

That link didn’t address the question at all. Are saying that since the drive bys didn’t address it it doesn’t exist? Do you got Obama goggles on?
Wheres Reggie?
What did they use to say about whispering bushes?
"Pssst! hey buddy, come here."
Obunga was known to hang around in Honolulu parks trading sex with older men for drugs.
This is from the Onion, right?
Heartily agree! I have also been thinking:
In 2020 or later, when some news clipping is buried on the Obituary page (if it ever makes mass distribution, that is), what will be the spin? "Obamas' official National Portrait Gallery works replaced. The power couple say they are honored by new portraits by today's artists, replacing the old ones hurried through in the wake of their retirement from office. . . "
When that happens, will anyone even remember this kerfuffle except a few of us? The news stories probably won't even show these paintings, just their replacements.
It's how the media works.
I haven’t seen this article posted, hope I didn’t miss it, it says the artist’s studio is in Beijing and he uses Chinese employees for a lot of it.

Very similar to what Thomas Kinkade’s set up was when he was around & whether China or elsewhere lil’ dabs & do’ya’s are even signed with SIG of artist and many people happily purchase as considered Gen U Whine. Similar to what this Wiley character is pulling off with his other worksits how a lot or artists make their money Its a long story for me to re- invent the wheel for Freepers on provence, documentation and authenticity . I can say this much tho’, the msm claims they are mainstream- ?
but I believe this merely reflects on their cformal degrees obtained from colleges / art school private.
lessons.
I think perhaps these two birds Wiley and Sherald are only Afro Amer mainstream ,exhibited at galleries in and around Oak Bluffs @ Martha’s Vineyard else some other listed galleries around the country e.g. NYC or wash dc where they receive their most lauds by the now moneyed Obamas . Choosing a portrait is quite the heavy deed. I don’t believe these two hamsters made a solo decision on these pics w/ o ValJar’s influence. She keeps stamping their approval tickets for the 10% ‘ers of the afro american community which they have not been accepted into nor embraced from the get go.The Obamas own kind ridiculed by the moneyed Afro Amer comm and name- called the mooch a ghetto girl as she/ he is/ was/ is.
These two birds are so far left the memorable cover of The New Yorker of the two of them fistbumping said it all and many missed it.
That cover of them should have been painted and hung in the Natl Portrait Gallery because it tells everyone who they are , what they stand for and the true intention of a Manchurian candidate in facilitating the social, economic ,political destruction of our country.
I have a lot of random thoughts here and those 2 portraits are insufferable. Perhaps these two knew the predilections of both artists just to get in the last f*cked up word. IMHO this goal was only the known 15 mins of fame take. Maybe these two will hang around on the wall( s) @The National Portrait Gallery for a time and then quietly taken down, put into storage and forgotten about along with both their legacies having fizzled and disappear into the deep archives of American history and my prayer is for the safety and protection of our POTUS to continue in the great job he is doing in not only saving and routing out in our country from the longterm Deep State and The Shadow Govt.
sorry about mispells

What beats the heck outta me is Sherald didn’t even borrow nor incorporate anything of her prior portrayals ( see previous work) of her art. To me this shows disconnect of the artist( Sherald).
Sherald was most taken aback by the money first and then the request for portraiture .
I will give Sherald credit though.... She took on a individual with a special kind of resting bitch face and complete lack of sartorial experience and proved it. Maybe it doesn’t “ look like” the mooch’s face is because “Michelle Obama is a tranny” @Joan Rivers last words
