If I hung it most people would think it was a tribute without looking closer. I could not stand that even if I am from Texas. On second thought, an arse for a nose would not be enough.

gent รacardi on Aug 30, 2007 5:24:17 GMT 1, IMHO, I think the subtlety was part of the plan! Wasn't the story behind the portrait something like him getting commissioned by Bush to do the piece, but the commission got withdrawn? So he went ahead and completed it anyway, only with a sneaky 'fuck you' aftertaste! I think it's really brilliant!!
I don't mind a picture of Bush on my wall since I know what it's comprised of... but it's the price tag that's the issue. Can you say 'ouch'?

It has been done many times before but not of someone so befitting. I like this piece, I've seen it up close and it is very well done.

"Acclaimed portrait artist Jonathan Yeo will be unveiling his latest work on Tuesday 28th August at 2.00pm at Lazarides gallery on Greek Street and you are invited to witness this event.
Yeo was commissioned to undertake a portrait of US President George W Bush, but was later told his services were not required. He decided to continue the commission on his own, and Tuesdayโs unveiling will reveal the controversial fruit of his labours."
That should make the broadsheets rather than just London Lite!

I think his personal story helps as he successfully survived some sort of cancer if I remember correctly. His dad is a former tory minister as well so I suspect that helps for newspapers like the Daily Mail.
