The two dozen canvases include portraits of former prime minister John Howard, Russian president Vladimir Putin, former British prime minister Tony Blair, Afghan president Hamid Karzai and the Dalai Lama. "I think their reaction is going to be, 'whoa, George Bush is a painter'," he quipped in an interview with his journalist daughter Jenna on NBC television. "I'm sure when they heard that I was painting them ... they're going to say, 'whoa, I look forward to seeing a stick figure he painted of me'. "I hope they take it in the spirit in which these were painted, and that was a spirit of friendship, and that I admired them as leaders and was willing to give it a shot in terms of getting people to see how I felt about them."[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-05/george-w-bush-unveils-portraits-of-world-leaders/5369468?WT.mc_id=Innovation_News|GeorgeWBushUnveilsPortraitsOfWorldLeadersAtPresidentialLibraryInDallas_FBP|abc[/url]
putin looks displeased about his nose.
He made Cheney look almost cute. That's worth a nobel peace prize
Those paintings are actually fairly decent, and besides, he's a better painter than most people that i know of.
[I]I[/I] like them! <3
I was expecting way worse.
i guess foreign policy isn't the only thing he's bad at doing
Hey, better than what most people can do. At least he has a hobby
I have no idea who the first portrait is supposed to be of, but it reminds me of Zelda CDi for some reason.
Why is the Afghan president there... Why is he suddenly a "world leader"?

[QUOTE=Adarrek;44473926]Why is the Afghan president there... Why is he suddenly a "world leader"?[/QUOTE] Are you serious
[QUOTE=Lick;44473832]He made Cheney look almost cute. That's worth a nobel peace prize[/QUOTE] That's not Cheney that's John Howard.
Still better than what I can do at the moment. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/XUs0gph.png"]I painted Gabe Newell but he ended up looking like a fat Mike Myres[/URL] :v:
[QUOTE=Adarrek;44473926]Why is the Afghan president there... Why is he suddenly a "world leader"?[/QUOTE] Because Countries need leaders.
[QUOTE=Zero-Point;44473909]I have no idea who the first portrait is supposed to be of, but it reminds me of Zelda CDi for some reason.[/QUOTE] Stephen Harper.
[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;44474031]Because Countries need leaders.[/QUOTE] Yeah but there are many more important leaders that could be there...

I was expecting the paintings to be of their heads on pikes with their respective capitols burning in the background.
they aren't bad, they are kind of charming actually

Just to be sure, you guys arent forgetting that he is responsible for the financial destruction of your nation? And thus the ruination of millions of lives worldwide? The death and destruction his foreign policies have wrought?
I swear he made Harper look more smug that usual somehow in that first painting. I think it's because he tried to give Harper emotions in it.

Looking at these mediocre paintings made me forget about 8 years of U.S. history thanks for reminding me.

I mean he's not bad, but I find the image of Bush meeting with Putin and being like "HERE'S YOUR PRESENT!" and then he just shoves this in his face. Meanwhile Putin is wondering what the fuck it is.
