WHORES, ALL OF THEM BABY-MURDERING WHORES

SAVE US JEEBUS, SAVE US FROM THE WHORES

The notion of a machine that runs on souls is kinda classic, really.

The container is kinda like the tubes you send yr money in to the drive-up window at the bank. Can you imagine a drive-up abortion clinic, where the fetuses are sent in like @ the bank? The concept has promise, gentlemen.

OH I SEE IT IS AN ANGEL BABYS HOW CLEVAR xpost

the still-classic comment I read once went along the lines of "If God ensouls every fertilized egg, then Heaven is full of human caviar."

gross

dan i encourage you to check out the work of twin cities filmmaker Jon Springer, if you haven't already. he makes gruesome horror films with a strong catholic, pro-life & anti-homo sensibility. you can check his stuff out at cricketfims dot com.

ugh this thread sucks d00ds

i think its cool dude wants to participate in the forum or whatever but giving him a thread to jack off onto seems unnecessary

my bad 4 crossing u 'll whyteout conditionz deej. i'm psycho 2 wrong some damn times. respect t' u + yr word

damn hardhead fued out a salty mouth

deeej - what we need is a thread for you to bitch about thsi thread on - that will solve evertyhoing

OT, but that Baghdad shot looks like it's from the Michael Bay version of Jason and the Argonauts.

I think Lacey needs to do an anti-condom character called "Neverconceived, the lovable sperm".

Yeah, deej, if you don't want to see him jacking off why'd you follow him into the stall?

this stall is crowded, im leaving

flush first, will ya!!

The G-dcrack strip is awesome. I love especially the blurriness around the viewer/presumed recipient of said G-dcrack.

Revised cover sketch-

http://www.faithmouse.com/i_aborto_cover.jpg

Faith has 'SuperGifts' (of the Spirit) now, and 'G-dCracking' is one manifestation. 'G-d' because some very fundamentalist Christians avoid writing the full name because they believe to do so is disrespectful.

I've heard of Jon Springer but haven't met him-thanks for the web address. From what I've read of his reviews I don't think he's perceived by critics as being anti-Gay.

That Baghdad photo (which seems to be gone now) was taken by a fan of the cartoon while he was stationed in Iraq as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot. I drew a cartoon a few years ago based on that photo.

A condom themed comic would be cool. I'd like to have Obama as the focus of the next comic, and have Faith discover that he's actually a sleeper agent for Al-Qaeda.

If anyone wants to snark and post here that's fine with me. Thanks to Libcrypt for creating the thread.

G-DCRACK indeed.

Dan, what's your view on contraception?

(as opposed to your public persona's view or your characters' view)

I believe God creates souls pre-contraception (the 'before your Mother carried you in her womb, I knew you' scripture) and the physical world we live in is His expression. As for doctrinally carrying that out, I have a traditional Catholic viewpoint, which I pretty much warp and destroy in my cartoons just because artistically I can't help myself. Politically I think I've been sort of wandering to the middle over the course of the past few years.

I have a lot of hope for this thread.

A condom themed comic would be cool. I'd like to have Obama as the focus of the next comic, and have Faith discover that he's actually a sleeper agent for Al-Qaeda.

I'm still trying to figure out why these two sentences are in the same paragraph together.

The pre-conception thing is weird though. I guess you could have half a soul in a sperm and half in an egg? But unless the meeting of the two was predestined (and if I understand catholicism that's not how it works) then you'd only have two half souls. Either way, this can't be feasible because why would God create 100 million redundant souls for every one that successfully bcreates?

By extension, then, if the soul is abstract or external to the gametes, then the actual sperms and eggs are soul-free and therefore as disposable as they clearly are in both sexes.

this'll end well

I contain multitudes. (but I had a vasectomy so they can't get out, lol)

Wow.

i <3 that the screeching car tires go "FREEEEEP" lol

a few statements I believe are true-

God is real, and God is love.

God is the creator of procreation, desire, and eros.

God wants us to be happy.

I like to draw naked mice.

Drawing naked mice makes me happy.

Doonsebury gang riding in a VW van.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.

I'm working on a revision of the last panel-it would be much more appropriate if Mallard runs over a newspaper vending machine.

Isn't that a bit obvious, though?

I suspect there's enough energy in the rest of the drawing where it won't become the first thing you see.

dan, i think it's much more satisfying to see those smug doonesbury jokers in an epic smash-up, imho

also, the picture of the gay bear buttsecks -- the topman's ass-pucker looks a little too, uh, exposed. like, it's either the most prominent butthole ever, or he's prolapsing. that aside, i really enjoy your artwork, dan!

Last Winehouse is best. Dan, do you consider yrself to be influenced at all by Robert Crumb?

I'm a big Crumb fan, so that's probably true.

dan lacey what are your top 5 most important political issues?

I've been trying to care. I'm not much motivated by politics anymore, mainly because I see neglect everywhere. 'Hot issues' run for a while as fads and then nothing gets accomplished; I've been trying to get off of that stupid train.

As a partial answer I would say life issues, if anything. Euthanasia still interests me, as does cloning. Renewable energy; if we had advanced solar capacity it would solve many of our domestic and defense related problems.

I'm more interested in why people care about certain issues, particularly as seen through the lens of faith and sexual motivation.

what are your religious beliefs? are you against euthanasia because you believe it takes a life provided by god?

That's a good question.

I've sort of had a falling out with God as of late, so I'm not really advocating anything except doing good, or trying to do good.

There are still too many cases of people 'coming back' after all hope was gone, so I would err on the side of caution. But as for moral absolutes; except for a few cases I've lost my enthusiasm.

thanks for the answers!

dan, if you haven't posted it here yet, please post the bob ross/happy tree one. that's awesome. if i had unlimited funds i'd buy 6.5 billion copies of that and mail one to everyone on earth.

I'll post a link where you can download a print-copy of the Neverborn/Bob Ross Happy Tree toon as well for GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ. Would make a nice coloring sheet.

Someone's going to ask me this-

Chantal Sebire is saying "Thank you for releasing me, little one. Now I am finally free!"

That condition she had made me definitely sympathise with her request.

I recommend against GISing Chantal Sebire. Oh, my lunch.

Hell, even a Google text search wasn't worth it:

A rare form of cancer had burrowed through her sinuses and nasal cavities, causing her nose to swell to several times its original size, and pushing one of her eye sockets out of her head.

Dan, I hate to be all frenchy pedantic here, but the 'e' at the end of petite makes it a feminine adjective. Petit is the proper spelling and p'tit is "li'l".

Well, let's get it right. Drop the 'e' and what do you suggest with 'p'tit is "li'l"?'

If she's going to call someone 'bonhomme', she's quite likely to say 'p'tit' instead of 'petit'. It's kind of idiomatic, is what I'm saying.

this is how you leverage the internet to make you look smart!

Change made, thanks!

Pic showing penciling and inking for the finished 'bicycle' cartoon. Sometimes I'll isolate different elements to layers in Photoshop and then move them around to get what I want, but I also draw and scan cartoons 'whole' as well.

I started using red markers a few years ago when my local art store was out of black. I never really know what a finished cartoon will look like until late in the process. Also, cartoons don't look that great in red so I really have to try harder to get a better looking product.

For my sketches I'll try to draw upsidedown as much as possible, which forces you to copy what's really there instead of just recording presumptions.

Tried a tablet once but it didn't really work for me.

One man’s garbage, another man’s online phenomenon - Times-Tribune.com

Dan Lacey, the Minnesota author of the Christian cartoon “Faithmouse,” saw the waffle image online and said he was inspired to make the “Memories” painting, which he offers for sale on eBay.

He paints on the side to support his cartoon business and has made other portraits of Mr. Obama.

“I just thought it was a very nice-looking, half-eaten waffle. It caught my artistic eye and immediately engaged me,” Mr. Lacey said.

I'm asking $100 a painting (16 by 20 inches on stretched canvas) 25 for the shipping. Finished portraits like the McCain or Obama are more because of the time involved in having (needing) to get an adequate likeness.

I've immediately sold both cartoon paintings so far. Another idea I have to keep the cartoon going and to find a way to pay for it, so maybe I'm on to something.

Dan, are you familiar with "outsider art"?

so its clearly pancakes then

Outsider art, absolutely. I'm a big Darger fan.

I think my paintings are outright Kitsch. I wouldn't even say they're sophisticated enough to be considered Lowbrow. The cartoons are in a different category.

what is meant by the pancake on top of the head

is it a symbolic representation of the flattening of the personal id by the steamroller of the american ego

i dont know what id or ego mean btw just wondering

Are you familiar at all with Daniel Johnston? I guess the comparison is fairly superficial, but he does sort of seem to have a similar mix of cartoonishness, fundamentalist religiosity and obscenity.

you could say that again

I've heard of him.

You are absolutely nuts, mathematics, and wrong. Daniel Johnston has virtually nothing in common with Dan Lacey. DJ is a high-functioning retard, sadly over-exploited for the amusement of hipsters worldwide. Lacey, on the other hand, is extremely intelligent and amazingly talented. While his politics may not be 100% in line with hipster ideology today, it's impossible to pigeonhole him as a claw-fisted savant, incapable of realistically engaging modern culture. Dan's art is complex, whimsical, topical, and generally amazing. "Daniel Johnston" ought occur in no discussion of Dan Lacey.

what is meant by the pancake on top of the head

i'm guessing it has something to do with this:

Dan, have you done a goatsepancake yet?

why would you suggest that

Intellectual curiosity.

I've been thinking of some sort of goatsepancake.

Sure, I'll put it on the roster.

dearest dan, is chase no face painting on way? Not yet received.

I mailed it about eight days ago and they said six, so it should arrive shortly.

I am bidding on the LHC one. That will look good somewhere here in the department where people who work on the experiment will see it.

I am going to lose this auction though because it finishes in the middle of the night here. I will try to come up with a physics commission for you, Dan.

Great stuff. Thanks for trying.

If you do win the auction, please post a pic of my painting hanging in the very center of the Hadron Collider, if at all possible.

Will post when Chase arrives. It will live in BB King land.

The Putin pancake one is priceless.

Is it at all related to this, I wonder?

Dan, is your Sarah/Todd painting supposed to be a comment on the Palin's parading of their Down Syndrome child like a political prop? I notice it's in between them, like a child, and that with the comparison is suggests that the baby is a meme, an idea, but dehumanized.

I'm just highlighting whatever I feel the subject matter is vis-à-vis the pancake method, just to draw an alternative emotional response. It's neither pro or con, usually.

why are people fawning over this fanny?

All shall fawn before my fanny.

Chase arrived today and absolutely horrified everyone in my office! The bonus poster scans of muppet hillary/obama/mccain were pure icing! A++++! Will buy again!

I'm sorely tempted to commission you to paint a portrait of our dog; maybe one with me my girl and my dog with pancakes on our heads. What would you run for that?

Actually, just went to your page and got a sense of what it runs and it's way outside of my price range. But worth it!

I suspect you were looking at prices for my large stretched oils.

I could do a miniature oil as I normally auction on Ebay of two people and a dog and pancakes for $100. I'll up the size to 5 by 7 for you as well.

Let me talk to the girl.

Where's our Obama Vault Dweller?

There Are Some things You Can't Unsee [Mark Hemingway]

As if an entire blog dedicated to "an exploration of the graphics and graffiti in support of Barack Obama" wasn't unnecessary enough, the latest entry is a painting of a nude Obama riding a unicorn done by an artist who "who normally paints photos of people with pancakes on their heads." I'm sure the Committee for the Preservation of the White House will have a tough time deciding whether that will match the decor better in the Lincoln Sitting Room or the Treaty Room...

As goons suggested, be careful to dole out the obama action in limited amounts, lest you swamp the market and run out of ideas too quickly

$610 x 365 = $222,650

http://www.faithmouse.com/fallout_obama.jpg

http://www.faithmouse.com/fallout-obama.jpg

Running out of ideas has never been a problem; just deciding which ones to develop. People are enthusiastic about the Obama unicorns, and I don't mind painting them, so I'll just continue until I get bored.

Love the nice, big hi-res pix. Really helps get across the feel: paint handling, texture, etc. Armband is a nice touch. Does it have special properties, or is it just an armband? Plus horse coat is genius! All the Obama nudes are excellent, but I especially love the planecrash one from a couple days back. Geese in the engines, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Rushmore, ghost of windshield strut showing thru may be an error but it totally saves the composition. Looks freaking GREAT. Plus topical and so damn fast!

You should do at least one super-detailed Unicorn mounted Obama nude as a project piece, to commemorate of otherwise observe the moment. History will be glad you did.

omg the hudson river one, omg omg omg

I KNOW! Plus I like how his butt is all pink and perky.

holee shit

Although in the standing 'corn one Obama looks more like Jack Webb.

I love yr paintings, Dan, but in truth, I love yr comics more.

I'd rather draw Faithmouse than paint. Maybe good things will happen for the cartoon as a result of all the publicity for the paintings.

Also, I agree-Obama's face looks a little too Jack Webby, so I'm giving him a repainting.

Dan, are you going to keep faithmouse as a more-or-less single panel thing, or do you want to expand out to a full strip or even a full/mini comic?

If nothing else, I would submit some of your pop star/celeb caricature drawing work to Mad & Cracked, see what they say.

I submitted both the celeb toons and Faithmouse to Mad during the past few years. Cracked folded as a magazine, but I sent them cartoons online anyway. The way I see it, if I can get a fair price for the paintings it should buy time to draw more cartoons.

I'm still drawing both single panel toons and also trying to commit myself time-wise to the adult side of the feature-

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/ea/ed/c26cc060ada01fb7d3a4f110.L.jpg

There’s a reason I became disgusted by ‘my own side’ and bailed on my Christian/Conservative apologetic-it was because of asshats such as yourself who scream ‘liberty’ but strive to create less freedom in this country instead of more; it caused me to question who I was fighting for. You guys lost me big time. Yes, I paint and draw mouse porn, not to ‘push back the boundaries of what is acceptable in society’ but because it amuses the hell out of me. If you don’t like it, suck on it.

(DL, from the page Dan linked above.)

I'd like to reiterate my support for "mouse porn", Dan, and keep up the good work!

I've only just taken a good look at the wall street one and it is fabulous. I hop when Obama is setting up his presidential library he engages Mr Lacey to do the frescos.

TAINT

Why don't we liaise
My nets will part
Revealing a window that's only for you

Why can't we relax
Don't mind the mess dear
I toyed with Obama for something to do (Toyed...sex toy... a terrible joke!)

Even my redeemer is resting (Redeemer = Obama)
I carry
The weight of the world (Reference to Taint cartoon where she carries a limp Obama over her shoulder)

Expectations, frustrations
No conference, no glory
Just dark rooms and juices
Resentment and stories

Seems their armies will march for the mice (Soldiers = penises)
It's time to raise my price (Ref to 'Catholic Harlot' cartoon)

Why don't you confess
I hear repentance
Arouses, asphyxiation for the soul

Why do I digress
My work's not over
Til green faces smile from beneath soiled springs

Surely what's left hear is mine (foetuses)
To dispose of as I like
True no treaty abides
For that little sacrifice (Disposal of aborted foetuses)
But you know battlegrounds
Lie wherever killing's found (I'm a feminist :P )

Birther Queen: Obama Persecuting Me with Placenta Painting!
— By Stephanie Mencimer| Tue May. 18, 2010 3:00 AM PDT

Orly Taitz, the queen bee of the birther movement, sounds distraught. “I’m going through hell,” she says. The California dentist-lawyer had called to tell me about what she says is a campaign to scare her family so that she’ll abandon her quest to become California’s next Secretary of State. She says she’s endured death threats and an attempt to tamper with her car. But this time, she says, her opponents have gone too far. The final straw? An elaborate oil painting of a nude Taitz, legs splayed, giving birth to… a pancake...

http://motherjones.com/mojo/2010/06/orly-taitz-subpoena-pancake-painter

Orly Taitz to Subpoena Pancake Painter

— By Stephanie Mencimer
| Wed Jun. 9, 2010 4:00 AM PDT

Just because she's spent the past few months campaigning to become California's next secretary of state doesn't mean that "birther" queen Dr. Orly Taitz has given up her many court battles seeking to prove that President Barack Obama is not an American citizen. On May 19, Taitz filed a "motion to reconsider" in her mostly failed lawsuit against Obama in DC federal court. And one basis for the motion was none other than a Mother Jones article! Yes, Taitz told the court that she has discovered new evidence of "intimidation and harassment" against her in my story on Dan Lacey, the Minnesota "Painter of Pancakes," who has painted some nude portraits of Taitz giving birth to a pancake.

Taitz told me in May that her opponents have sent copies of the painting to her children and family along with threatening emails in what she believes was an attempt to scare her into dropping her insurgent campaign to be the GOP's candidate for California's secretary of state. She suspects that one of Obama's powerful allies commissioned the painting. I asked Lacey about that and he was cagey on the subject. So Taitz wants to subpoena him to force him to out his benefactor. She writes:

"Recent article by Washington burro (sic) correspondent Stephanie Mencimer shows that “artist” Dan Lacey, who painted despicable art work series “Birther Orly Taitz”, showing Taitz nude, with her legs spread, giving birth and holding bloody placenta, which were sent to her children, posted on the Internet and a local paper, did not work on his own accord. Dan Lacey admitted, that he was commissioned, paid by someone to do this, it was a clear attempt to intimidate Taitz and pressure her to withdraw as a candidate...Lacey refused to provide the reporter Stephanie Mencimer with the name of the person who hired him, who paid him, however during the depositions and upon subpoena this information will be available and will be provided to the court. At this time Taitz cannot state with certainty who paid Dan Lacey, however it is common knowledge, that Billionaire George Soros, one of the biggest backers of Obama, through his organization Moveon.org, has commissioned numerous artists to promote Obama and denigrate his opponents and critics."

Lacey, for his part, has responded with a YouTube video in which he promises to reveal the identity of the "puppetmaster" behind the Pancake Birther series, pixel by pixel, as part of his new legal defense fundraising. He promises to enter the name of anyone who donates $2.37 to the defense fund into a drawing to win the new painting, which will be awarded at a "Colors of Orly" art show fundraiser in Minneapolis on July 4th.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f49uCTQ6xKI

Dan, why are you on ALL of my favorite web forums? Here's $2.37 towards your defence.

keep up the good fight! taking a step back, the combination of 1) a legal battle between one http://i46.tinypic.com/rt2713.jpg Taitz, who not only relentlessly presses forward on her absurd birther beliefs but is also somehow always on television and found some spare time to run for secretary of state, and Dan Lacey, renowned painter of, among other things, pancakes, with 2) a micro-transaction fundraising campaign based on a pixel-by-pixel reveal of the artist's greatest http://i46.tinypic.com/rt2713.jpg painting of all, titled http://i46.tinypic.com/rt2713.jpg TAITZ: The Naked Pancake Truth...my mind is blown.

I was thinking today that I should go back and get Dan to paint a portrait of my dog
I still have no face chase on my wall

Steven Slater is an American hero tbh

Such a dog portrait would be worthwhile

what ever happened with the orly lady? was there more paintings of her? was the person who commissioned the paintings some big wig billionaire?

I said it was George Soros and I haven't heard from Orly since.

Yes, I would be honored to paint a portrait of your dog.

she said you are clearly deranged, how does that make you feel deep down?

I need to scrape some cash together and I'll get back to you Dan.

Just thought about him the other day when Orly Taitz popped up in the news.

Oops. That last one was meant to be a link.

Oh jesus can we get a NSFW warning up in here, I just clicked on that at work, fuck.

...or yeah that'll work :)

I bet you don't miss me so much now.

no, the bachmann/gacy thing was nice

Linkified that last one.

I'm pretty happy with this new 'Casey' which I finished a few days ago; it started as a detailed acrylic which I re-painted with oil. It has a nice pasteled look-

In that Waterloo painting I purposefully placed the horizonline to evoke Dali. He used it quite a bit.

They are pancakes -

brilliant

Thanks. Gave it a few more hours right after posting it- NSFW

Dan, how's the business end of things holding up? Are you able to make a go doing commissions for online folks, or have you been getting work from online publications & the like?

Don't know if you've seen this or not. I think I could make a lot more money if I limited myself to paintings of pancakes on cats and backsides.

Ha; i just realized you're wearing a Three-Wolf Moon shirt in the beginning of that

Michael McGloin of The Mountain gave that to me. It's a glow-in-the-dark.

I just received this email - Mr. Lacey, I am a former Wall Street trader, now an unemployed streetcar mechanic addicted to SlimJims and sprawled out on the floor of a squalid flophouse somewhere in Columbus, Ohio. I saw your 'Occupy Wall Street Bank Skull Pancake Painting' on my expensive antiquated cellphone and immediately sneered at it. But then while contemplating the image I felt the building shake to its foundations and a small plane full of money crashed suddenly into the room. I can't say that the two events are related, but I would like to credit someone I have never met for my sudden turn of luck and that happens TO BE YOU.

I was wondering if it would be possible to obtain a printed copy of this miraculous icon? Yes, I am rich now but still the roaming fees are killing me.

Betty White Peek-A-Boo bra painting (NSFW)

This and a few other things.

how much are you selling that for, dan? i'm kind of feeling it.

The one just sold on Ebay for $7.50. But I could paint you another.

dan is there a way to sort your ebay site by originals vs prints?

I'm sure there is but I haven't figured it out yet. Right now I just put PRINT or ORIGINAL in boldface in the title of each individual listing. So if you search 'Dan Lacey ORIGINAL' all of the orignals should come up.

okay, makes sense

Issue number 7, the one with Bree Olson on the cover.

Could have gone to a much worse place with "issue," Dan. Thanks for the restraint.

Thanks for fixing the link, nickn. I completely revised that second Faithmouse cartoon, if anyone thought it looked different.

"His male identity and tool of procreation is a financially based instrument."

Lately I've been keeping a number of self-nudes up for auction on Ebay, and they've been doing well but my family is hesitant. The pivot point of respectability seems to be the penis. During the past month I decided to go pro-penis and the response from collectors has been positive.

Dan how much for pancake Romney?

Ohh, so sorry, I auctioned that on ebay for...$29. However, I would be happy to paint a second version for you for 75, which is what I usually ask for a portrait with or without pancakes. I would throw in the second canvas, the pancake high hat which was the second part of the diptych. That,or I would be happy to sell you a canvas print of both sections for 20, plus 3 for shipping.

Dan what is your opinion on the new The Darkness album cover?

I would say that its best to create music that is relevant to the times, but pancakes are good at any time no matter how they are presented, which is why I approve of the cover if not necessarily the retro rock.
Also, 2009 or so - NSFW sort of

Any particular reason for Ferguson?

earlier in the week a bunch of ppl I know set up and/or started posting in this FB group Lovers of shit charity shop art

oddly enough they seem to have found several of Dan's paintings in UK charity shops as well as comparable 'seen by millions on the internet' gems like the one of Macho Man elbow dropping Jesus. good going guys

Cool, and thanks for the link. Which paintings of mine did they find in UK charity shops?
The Ferguson was a request, but I'm still waiting for the person to pay for it. It's 75, if anyone is interested.

ha sorry that was poorly pitched sarcasm, I was trying to suggest that they clearly hadn't found these artworks in charity shops at all and had in fact just seen them online

I've sold a lot of paintings to the UK; I wouldn't have been surprised.

lol

hey dan lacey are you familiar with:

Anyone got a copy of the Faithmouse "G-dcrack" strip? That was a favorite of mine and it appears that most Faithmouse strips have been removed from the web.

would like to see the bernie sanders pancake painting to be used as their campaign image; think that might be the final push

I'd like to fatten his face a little in the portrait and make his hair a little whispier.
I'll repost all of the faithmouse cartoons by the weekend.

I only started following him on twitter in the last year or so, during which time I've mostly seen paintings of Prince, so I'm not sure if he's done other any Faithmouse stuff lately. But it's nice to see her face again after all these years.

if you're reading, best of luck dan!

Dan is currently in hospice care after battling glioblastoma brain cancer over the last year. His two brain surgeries have rendered him cognitively and physically impaired, with significant left side neglect.

We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement during this time.

damn. i'm really sorry to hear that. I hope he can recover.
