Nixon was a good poker player, it was his face that was the problem.

Separate vote missing for TR's teeth imo

JD: How popular are these president paintings?

AT: They really took off. We had a really odd request. When they remade that horror movie two years ago, the set decorator wanted to hang it on the wall. I don’t watch those movies. “Halloween 2,” I think it was.

JD: Any politicians interested in the paintings?

AT: We had some contact with the Carter Library. The other day there was an interview with (Rep.) Darrell Issa from California. It was in The New Yorker magazine. They’re touring his office and he had both of them hanging on his wall. When I painted them I had hoped that people would buy both of them. The country is a lot more partisan than I thought. I was kind of warmed by that, that he put both of them up in his office.

JD: Do a lot of people buy both?

AT: Not as often as I would like. (Laughs) I had a guy in town who wanted to get both of them. Our part of the country is still steaming after Monica (Lewinsky) and he said ‘I just can’t put Bill Clinton on my wall.’

Nixon just asked, "Did you gentleman fornicate last night?" Much laughter all around.

hmm how should I depict Lincoln, ah of course I'll do it from John Wilkes Booth's perspective

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 23 January 2014 08:59 (twelve years ago)

I agree that Dem militarists like Carter and Obama should be included

That awful poster with Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc for earlier discussion

Digging Ike though, dorky Fifties dad type, not playing but just having a ball with the buddies. Feels like John Fiedler's character from the Odd Couple might be just out of the frame, remarking on how delicious his sandwich is.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 23 January 2014 13:58 (twelve years ago)

yea ike is the best

reagan and jfk have this "hey, pay attention, all you stiffs; everybody's supposed to be looking at me!" look to them.

LBJ telling Wilson, "Listen, ah know this ain't your scene. If just play your hand and follow me out back I'll give ya a snort or two."

Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 5 February 2014 13:32 (twelve years ago)

w cozying up to reagan in the original picture, so he can see reagan's poker hand, and alert his daddy. conniving bastard. "w" is for "winner."

Daniel, Esq 2, Wednesday, 5 February 2014 13:39 (twelve years ago)

Thought Woodrow was Obama for a sec in the pool pic.

LBJ looks like he either works for North Korea or Tyson Chicken.

Ford looks a little sugared-up and JFK, nice ass, I think I can see your Jockeys®.

what is it with rightwing artist's inability to render trump's schlumpy physique as it is in reality

fuckin' weird that lincoln is the only one whose face isn't shown when he's the least reprehensible of all of them

the fact that Trump is drinking a Diet Coke is actually kind of hilarious

is the mustachioed fat guy in the background above Ike's head supposed to be Taft? who is the dark haired woman approaching the table?

lincoln is blocking our view of dubya's fat lines of coke chopped out on the table in front of him, presumably xp

for the past several hours i've seen everyone talking about this painting, but i only just now learned that it is hanging in the white house. this was probably obvious to everyone else, and of course it was the fact that it was hanging in the white house that prompted the discussion of the painting in the first place, but just in case there's anyone else sleepwalking like me, now you know. it looks like this:
