[kpete]

while the world burns:



Two new paintings by former president George W. Bush, published for the first time here on Gawker, give us a new window into the ongoing development of the tortured artist/torture advocate—and opens the possibility for a new phase in his oeuvre: cats.

1. two dimensional

no perspective

[Berlum]

2. This is torture. Dude needs to go AWOL from the easel.

[Scootaloo]

3. What is it with war criminals and a hopeful painting career?

Though the guy with the moustache at least had a modicum of talent with the medium.

[bunnies]

4. I was just going to say that.

In a not so subtle way. Thank you for saying it better than I would have.

[Supersedeas]

6. scary

[jmowreader]

8. More than a modicum

I see a little bit of a Thomas Kinkade thing going on there...if you didn't know who painted this you might hang it on your wall. It is a pleasant enough piece.

[dionysus]

10. he he could paint well, adequate talent but not enough talent to stand out as a great.

Kinkade is a good analogy.

[kentuck]

11. And this one:

[jmowreader]

15. Which is a hell of a lot better than...

[Link Speed]

5. despite the lack of texture or depth that cat's markings...

are eerily akin to my Frankie.

But Frankie is one hell of a lot smarter than that painter.

[dionysus]

7. shitty painter, at least he's doing awful paintings and chugging bourbon at home instead of

running his mouth in public like his puppetmaster darth.

i'm trying to look on the bright side.

[rurallib]

9. "tortured" is such an ironic word for him.

maybe he can do ironic?

[dionysus]

12. he might have PTSD from the pretzel that almost choked him to death

[rurallib]

13. did the designer of that pretzel ever get an award?

[dionysus]

14. if only we knew the brand and type of pretzel....

was it the conventional pretzel twist? a large pretzel rod, or one of those pretzel nuggets they make now?

could Hannover have secretly tried to save us? or was Rold Gold the hero we'll never hear about?
