Anyone know the genesis of this derived painting ?


That's now on the website of the DUer who found it on the Internet, and both he and I would like to know where it comes from. Any leads greatly appreciated.

Wishing you the very best in the coming holiday season,

6. Don't you love artists?
When they aren't being too hard to live with, that is. I never would have thought to remake the Suribachi photo in a gay theme. I have always thought the Marine Memorial statue was kind of hot.
