Britain: 36-year-old Johnathan Yeo has created a portrait of United States President George W. Bush out of pornographic magazines after the Bush Library reneged on a commission for a conventional portrait of the president.
The artwork, which took 100 magazines to make, is on display at the Lazarides Gallery. The gallery is well known for showcasing the works of pop, graffiti, and comic artists including the well known painter Banksy.
The artwork has outraged Republicans. "This picture is very distasteful. Why would anyone want to make a picture of our President from pornographic material?" asked a spokesperson for the party in Texas.
