Michelle Obama First Lady Bust by Daniel Edwards
Edited on Tue Sep-30-08 01:50 AM by redstate_democrat


On his website, the artist, Daniel Edwards, described his artwork as an accessorized mannequin bust of Obama that foregoes the conventional pearl necklace, and provides for her a “signature look” to take to Washington. “The goal is to create a look for Michelle Obama that eliminates excessive comparisons to Jackie Kennedy.”


This is the guy who brought you Hillary Clinton's presidential bust, suri cruise's first poop, Brittany Spears in some weird contortion with a fish, and Oprah's gold sarcophagus. Now he has immortalized Michelle.

Is it me, or are people just getting a little bit wacky? :shrug:

4. Yeah, great "look" guy,
Bride-of-Frankenstein hair. Thanks, great idea! And she doesn't look like Michelle O at all. What a tool...

5. what a fucking joke. I just spent time in The Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, London Art Gallery, Tate...
this is stupid and not even really a good sculpture. WHy doesn't he do one of Cindy McCain popping pills while balancing on a rifle?

14. yes, we know.
you should have seen the one he did on Oprah. I don't find the value in a lot of "art" that is produced these days. I remember there was this so-called exhibit going on in NY featuring some of the stereotypes of Obama and it was panned, but apparently the person was trying to make a point about racism or something. New York has the weirdest art scene.

It doesn't matter if it's left kitsch or right kitsch it's still kitsch
