    Portrait is downright flattering compared to the truth. Take the win, Donny, cause you ugly.

    I wouldn’t have taken the commission, but then again I’m a carpenter.

    Why would you take the offer to paint his portrait?

      She was previously chosen to paint the portrait of former President Barack Obama for the Colorado Capitol. Boardman painted him again in 2012 when she was privately commissioned for portraits of Obama and former President George W. Bush as part of a wider presidential series

      Still not great, but at least some context

      I’m pretty sure she likes painting assholes. I think it’s funny that the shit filled gasbag keeps dumping on people that worship him. You’d think they’d learn.

    This has always been a risk for artists working for powerful people. It doesn’t necessarily end well for the artist.

      Art is inherently empathetic, and the bourgeoisie rely on cognitive dissonance to continue committing their crimes against humanity.

    She says Trump’s attacks are ruining her business. Meanwhile,

    Paris[, a relative of the artist,] said despite that Trump’s comments, many in their family supported him when he took office for his second term. The unexpected attack on Boardman’s abilities caught them off guard.

    But “she’s a strong woman,” Paris said of her aunt.

    “She’ll probably soar with this," Paris said. "She doesn’t have thin skin.”
